If wastewater will be applied to land,then include a Wastewater Disposal Operation <br /> and Maintenance Plan describing the number of acres to which wastewater will be <br /> applied,the crop(s)grown, estimated nutrient loading rates (for TDS,BOD, and total <br /> nitrogen, in lbs/ac/yr), how process wastewater flows will be measured or estimated, <br /> how the wastewater will be applied evenly over the entire acreage, how wastewater <br /> will be kept out of surface waters, how nuisance odors will be prevented, how the <br /> wastewater will be stored so that it is not applied to land during periods of <br /> precipitation or when the ground is saturated, and how the wastewater will be applied <br /> at reasonable agronomic and hydraulic loading rates. <br /> 1.

The Plan shall include information describing the waste type, <br /> annual tonnage, the location(s) where the waste will be stored, how the storage <br /> practices will protect groundwater and surface water quality,the disposal location(s), <br /> timing of application, method of spreading and/or tilling into the soil, annual <br /> application rate(in units of pounds/acre), and the best management practices that will <br /> be taken to prevent stormwater contamination by the solid wastes. <br /> m. If solid waste will be removed from the facility,then include a Solids Disposal <br /> Operation and Maintenance Plan that describes how the waste will be stored, how the <br /> storage practices will protect groundwater and surface water quality, the person or <br /> entity which will transport the waste, and the name of the facility which will accept the <br /> solid waste. <br /> n. If required by Regional Board staff, a chemical analysis of key wastewater constituents <br /> including at a minimum BOD,total nitrogen, pH, and TDS. <br /> C. Specific Conditions <br /> All small food processors shall comply with the following general conditions, as well as any <br /> site-specific conditions listed in the Executive Officer's formal Waiver notification. <br /> 1. The discharge shall neither degrade the quality of waters of the state nor create or threaten <br /> to create a condition of pollution, contamination, or nuisance as defined by CWC Section <br /> 13050. <br /> 2.
