respiration to reduce the volume of sludge produced. The highly oxidized secondary <br /> effluent will be filtered and chlorinated and used immediately for irrigation within the <br /> site and it will meet the quality requirements of the State of California Department of <br /> Health Services, Sanitary Engineering Section Title 22,Division 4 of the California <br /> Administriative Code. The additional Guidelines for Use of Reclaimed Water from the <br /> State of California Department of Health Services will be met as well. <br /> All proposed wastewater collection, treatment, storage, and disposal plans will be <br /> compiled in an Engineering Report on the production, distribution, and use of reclaimed <br /> water to the Central Valley Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Health <br /> Services. No work shall proceed until approval has been obtained from both agencies to <br /> proceed with final design and construction. <br /> A typical schematic flow diagram for the proposed wastewater management system and <br /> a sketch of the plan view of a typical below-ground installation of a similar type of unit <br /> are shown on Figure 12. <br /> Wastewater will be produced from this development during periods in which irrigation <br /> cannot be performed. Adequate storage for reclaimed wastewater will be provided for <br /> those periods. Because those ponds will not be required for the majority of the year, and <br /> therefore will be dry, they will be gently sloping, lined ponds that will have turfed <br /> interior sidewalls. The ponds will be neatly landscaped, and the reclaimed wastewater <br /> will be regularly tested, as required by State Code,to assure that the water quality <br /> criteria are being met. The daily records of the plant operations will be regularly <br /> reviewed by the Engineer and compared with a data base of other similar plants. <br /> Routine computer analyses of the plant's operation will be made and adjustments in <br /> operation can be performed. Early detection of long-term trends which may affect the <br /> plant's operation will become apparent. This is particularly important with the food-to- <br /> microorganism ratio, mixed liquid-suspended solids ratio, and the dissolved oxygen in <br /> the clarified supernatant. <br /> Although the operation of such plants is not complicated or difficult, a detailed <br /> Operation and Maintenance Manual and a training period by the Design Engineer will <br /> be provided. It is anticipated that the watewater management system will be operated <br /> and maintained by a County Service Area, and the county is familiar with such systems. <br /> The use of recycled wastewater is also anticipated in the Nature Preserve areas of the <br /> project. Treated waste-water entering these areas will be carefully blended, tested, and <br /> monitored to ensure compatibility with desired species of flora and fauna. <br /> 3. Timing of the Service <br /> The sewer system will be constructed in phase with development. <br /> 4. Improvements Needed or Required <br /> All elements of the sewer system will be needed to serve the project. <br /> 5. Financing of the Service <br /> The applicants will finance construction of the system. The proposed CSA will own and <br /> operate it, financed by user charges. The sewerage user charge would include a separate <br /> 23 <br />
