Typically,use estimates for the sizing of septic systems include a peak use factor,whereas <br /> the numbers discussed here are based on long-term averages. <br /> Fi <br /> The produce market on Parcel l s proposed to have two employees per day and serve on_ave rage <br /> f 200 customers per day. We understand that the store is planned to be open eight hours per daTM y,'� <br /> seven days per week. On Parcel 2, the maximum eLected on usage would-be-fx-om-the_... <br /> development of a one to two bedroom residence. <br /> The estimated sewage flow rates for use categories are available from a number of references. The <br /> uses presented below wereguided by the San Joaquin County On-Site Wastewater Disposal Standards <br /> -� (2003), Crites and Tchobanoglous (1998), and EPA (1980). No specific category is indicated for <br /> produce stand customers. Therefore,we estimate that 2.0 gallons per day for each customer. The <br /> references indicate that 14 gallons for each employee is typical for an office worker (Crites and <br /> Tchobanoglous, 1998). <br /> The t fr Crites and Tchobanoglous (1998) (Table 4-2) indicates that the typical residential use <br /> rate 0 ons per day. The EPA (1980) Design Manual (Table 4-6) indicates the typical use rate <br /> j 45 ns per day for a resident.A two bedroom home is presumed to be occupied by up to three <br /> f tl4le over the long term.Thcrefdfc,a=tot of ti <br /> ee oe p Wiper parcel will be used to calculate the <br /> 1 residenirial septic tank usage for�parcel two. <br /> The following tables presents the septic waste water uses associated with the Site. The rates <br /> presented from the references provide general guidance but do not always reflect a-match in usage. <br /> Careful examination,professional judgement, and experience are necessary to select a reasonable <br /> 4 <br /> ! 1 <br /> [ I <br /> 1 <br />
