The Leach Line Requirement calculation for the disposal area: <br />4,440 gpd ADF + 1,200 BTC x 0.200 Leach Line Soil Factor (LLS F) =1,128 Linear Feet Leach <br />Line (LFLL) x 3 Filter Bed Soil Factor (FBSF) = <br />3,384 sf of filter bed area needed to manage the ADF. <br />The Application Rate calculation for the disposal area: <br />ADF of 4,440 gpd - 0.758 gals/sf/day (Determined from averaging the perc rates on Page 4) _ <br />5,858 sf of filter bed area needed to manage the ADF. <br />The disposal area for this project is best determined by taking the average between the Leachline <br />Requirement calculation and the Application Rate calculation: <br />3,384 sf + 5,858 sf = 9,242 - 2 = 4,621 sf. <br />Therefore, the filter bed area is to be constructed square: 68 ft x 68 ft = 4,624 sf. <br />The high head effluent pumps of the duplex pump system will alternate between each half of the <br />filter bed area (Two zones, each zone = 6 laterals/60 ft long). Every pump cycle supplying 5x the <br />total pipe volume (transport line, manifold, laterals) _ <br />61.8 gals x 5 = 309 gals/pump discharge cycle. <br />Spread equally over one-half of a mature disposal area of 4,624 sf - 2 zones = <br />309 gals - 2,312 sf = 0.134 gals/sf for every discharge cycle. <br />The filter bed construction is to be constructed with a one foot soil cover (in lieu of a 0.5 ft cover) <br />over the filter fabric since it is anticipated that farm machinery and farm implements will be used <br />to control weed growth over the filter bed area, thus necessitating a one ft soil cover for support. <br />Fifteen inches of drain rock are to be installed under the filter fabric per the attached plans. <br />There is ample area for the 100% reserve replacement area, which can be directly east or south of <br />the proposed primary filter bed location, or east of the referenced septic tanks, as illustrated on the <br />Perc Test Location aerial photo. <br />V. CONCLUSIONS <br />NLS§ 4.1. The nitrate loading calculations show that all sources of onsite domestic wastewater <br />effluent from the winery facility (exclusively Parcel 1) will theoretically possess a nitrate -nitrogen <br />concentration of 2.74 mgt NO3-N, well below the Federal nitrate Maximum Contaminant Level <br />(MCL) of 10 ppm NO3-N. This can be primarily attributable to the area of Parcel 1 at 149.5 acres. <br />A portion of winery process wastewater, laboratory originated wastewater, and facility stormwater <br />all flows into the main stormwater infiltration pond. This wastewater disposal is managed by the <br />engineering firm of Kennedy/Jenks under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) promulgated by <br />the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Winery process water is also discharged to <br />surrounding vineyards owned by The Wine Group. <br />Page A 0 - <br />Chesney Consulting <br />
