WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS NO. -2- <br /> OWENS-BROCKWAY <br /> OWENS-ILLINOIS GLASS FURNACE FACILITY <br /> S-'N JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> 8. Surrounding land uses are agricultural and industrial; there are four industrial or agricultural <br /> wells downgradient of the wastewater ponds. <br /> 9. Domestic and industrial Water is supplied by two wells located at the facility. One well is <br /> located adjacent to the leased "VIP warehouse,"to provide domestic and fire protection <br /> water. The second well is located in the employee parking area and supplies water to the <br /> glass manufacturing plant. The second well's casing is perforated in deep aquifer zones (440 <br /> to 530 ft. bgs). The well's seal extends from the surface to 350 ft. bgs. The well location is <br /> presented in Attachment B. Characterization of the water quality was reported to be: <br /> Constituent Units Concentration <br /> Total Hardness (as CaCO3) mg/l 447 <br /> Calcium mg/1 97.9 <br /> Magnesium mg/1 49.1 <br /> Sodium mg/1 175 <br /> Potassium mg/1 7.3 <br /> Total Cations mg/l 16.72 <br /> Total Alkalinity(as CaCO3) mg/l 157 <br /> Hydroxide Alkalinity(as CaCO3) mg/1 0 <br /> Carbonate Alkalinity(as CaCO3) mg/l 0 <br /> Bicarbonate Alkalinity (as CaCO3) 1119/1 157 <br /> Sulfate mg/l 408 <br /> Chloride mg/l 187 <br /> Nitrate mg/l 21.7 <br /> Fluoride mg/1 0.12 <br /> Total Anions mg/1 17.26 <br /> pH pH units 7.6 <br /> Specific Conductance umhos/cm 1580 <br /> Total Dissolved Solids mg/1 1047 <br /> Copper ug/l P <50 <br /> Iron ug/l <100 <br /> Manganese ug/l <10 <br /> Zinc ug/l <50 <br /> Note: <br /> Data from Nolte Associates, "Owens-Brockway Glass Containers, Groundwater <br /> Monitoring Workplan," 14 July 1994. <br /> 10. Wastewater discharges to the process wastewater ponds come from four primary sources: AB <br /> cullet sump, C cullet sump, reverse osmosis reject water, and reverse osmosis filter <br /> backwash. Additional wastewater is generated in equipment steam cleaning, floor washing <br /> activities, and in the parts and ramp pressure testers. <br /> 11. Process water is collected in the water collection system in the facility's basement. <br /> Skimmers are used in the circulation system to remove oil as it collects on the surface. Oil is <br /> removed from the facility by an oil collection and recycling vendor. Excess process water <br /> flows by gravity to the evaporation and percolation ponds. Historically, oil has accumulated <br />
