Waste shall be spread thinly, no more than 3 inches deep, to <br /> ensure complete drying within five days. <br /> C. Waste shall be turned twice daily with a cultivating device to <br /> facilitate drying. <br /> 10. The Discharger shall land apply cannery waste during June — October and <br /> follow cropping methodologies of the latest Nutrient Management Plan, <br /> The Discharger shall monitor the cannery waste application area as <br /> required in MRP R5-2023-00XX. <br /> 11. The Discharger shall record average total nitrogen content and total wet <br /> weight for wastes and calculate the total mass of nitrogen applied in <br /> pounds per acre on a weekly basis. <br /> a. Cannery Waste application shall be managed so that nitrogen is <br /> evenly applied across the application area. <br /> b. At the end of the waste application season, the total mass of <br /> nitrogen applied per acre shall be calculated and a crop shall be <br /> planted, grown, and harvested that will remove enough nitrogen <br /> applied over the season so as to not exceed established <br /> concentration limits in groundwater. <br /> C. The annual total nitrogen load shall not exceed 300 pounds per <br /> acre, unless a site specific loading rate is established by a Nutrient <br /> Management Plan approved by the Executive Officer. <br /> 12. Discharge of cannery wastes to the land application area or the surface <br /> impoundments shall not degrade groundwater above background <br /> conditions (see WQO for constituents in Table 6) or cause or contribute to <br /> condition of pollution and/or nuisance as those terms are defined in Code <br /> Section 13050. Discharge of cannery rinsate to the compost facility shall <br /> be regulated by WQ 2020-0012-DWQ NOA dated DD MM 2023. <br /> 13. Cannery rinsate mud discharged for air drying on a clay pad constructed <br /> over a lined WMU shall be dried and moved to an active WMU within five <br /> days. The dried wastes (liquid and solid) will be disked approximately 4- to <br /> 6-inches into the ground. Rapid evaporation prevents anaerobic odors and <br /> interrupts the life cycle of vectors (flies). Excess cannery rinsate water <br /> may be discharged Class II surface impoundment WMU F West and WMU <br /> F North. <br />
