To determine a more accurate local value, Live Oak has collected rainwater during <br />several recent storm events in Lodi. Each sample was collected in a clean, dry, <br />stainless steel bowl, then decanted into a plastic container and placed on ice for <br />transport. The samples were analyzed for nitrate by FGL Environmental of Stockton. <br />The results of the rainwater sampling are as follows.- <br />Table <br />ollows: <br />Table 3. Rainwater Nitrate Concentration <br />Date <br />Nitrate (mg/L-N) <br />5/17/2019 <br />0.4 <br />5/19/2019 <br />0.2 <br />3/16/20 <br />0.2 <br />5/18/20 <br />0.4 <br />1/27/21, 10:00 <br />0 (Non -detect) <br />1/27/21, 19:30 <br />0 (Non -detect) <br />1/29/21 <br />0.2 <br />2/11/21 <br />0 (Non -detect) <br />2/12/21 <br />0.1 <br />10/25/21 <br />0 (Non -detect) <br />12/14/21 <br />0 (Non -detect) <br />Average <br />0.136 <br />Live Oak then averaged the concentrations of the 11 samples, for a value of 0.136 <br />mg/L-N to represent the nitrate concentration of rain. <br />Because the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department has requested that <br />local and recent data be utilized wherever possible, the concentration of the Lodi <br />rainwater been selected for use in the nitrate loading calculation. <br />Quante and Quality of Domestic Wastewater <br />Mr. Judge indicated that the existing house on the Site is used as an office; because of <br />this, residential wastewater flow is not considered for the nitrate loading calculation. <br />Three employees work at the Site currently, according to Mr. Judge, and at some point <br />in the future, an additional two employees could be hired. <br />LOGE 2236 Page 10 <br />
