Since the quantity of sludge was so small we were having a regular <br /> septic tank pump truck haul a load into either the City of Stockton <br /> or Sacramento. However, since the Regional Water Quality has <br /> increased the testing requirement per load of sludge the cost is <br /> prohibitive. The cities are reluctant to accept the sludge. <br /> Should this become a problem, a drying bed will have to be <br /> established and the sludge dried and accumulated in sufficient <br /> quantity, for companies dealing in sludge fertilizers, to take it <br /> and use in their projects. <br /> 3 . Public Contact: Title 22 has been evoked in the design of the <br /> BioPure process providing a tertiary effluent with almost drinking <br /> water standards. <br /> Using a coagulant ahead of the filter, plugs the filter and causes <br /> more problems than it ' cures. In our system the filters are <br /> frequently back washed allowing a good filtering process. <br /> Turbidity due to dyes in the wastewater are most difficult to <br /> remove but suspended solids are no problem. <br /> Human contact is relatively nil since the water in planters and <br /> around trees will be dispersed below woodchips. When the water <br /> rises the wood chips rise, all other irrigation will take place in <br /> the night and should be infiltrated prior to anyone coming in <br /> contact with it. <br /> 4 . Public Entity Owning: We have no problem with a public entity <br /> owning the plant. However, finding a public entity with _so few <br /> systems in operation at the present time is a problem. We will <br /> work with the county and the irrigation district. Regardless of <br /> who owns the plant we will have a trained and certified operator on <br /> the site. We are hoping if we supply and pay for an operator the <br /> county will agree to owning the plant. <br /> 5. Environmental Quality Act: We have made application with the <br /> county and they will either do an EIR or provide a negative <br /> declaration. <br /> Should you require more information, please contact us immediately. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ROSE'S ENGINEER -GEOLOGY & SURVEY INC. <br /> ;Me)=.
