GEO-PHASE <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> REPORT ADDENDUM <br /> Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Study <br /> STAMA WINERY, 17521 DAVIS RD.,LODI, CA <br /> (APN 025-160-12) <br /> (PA-1100168) <br /> GPE Project No.670.1 B <br /> November 6,2013 <br /> 7.1 Input Data to the Model <br /> According to Rosen, et. al., (2006), the nitrate concentration of septic tank effluent is variable, <br /> but the average is about 44 mg/L for residential use. For non-residential systems, the nitrate <br /> concentration is generally greater due to a lower usage of non-sewage water uses, such as <br /> washing. In buildings where the wastewater consists mostly of sewage, up to 80 mg/L of <br /> nitrate may be present. <br /> The following table summarizes the nitrate concentrations from the several sources expected <br /> to be present as used in the original report. <br /> System Effluent Nitrate <br /> Conc. N <br /> Caretaker Residence 44 mg/ml <br /> Employees 60 m <br /> Tasting Room Visitors 80 m <br /> Marketing Mtg Attendees 80 m <br /> Commercial Kitchen 60 m <br /> For the purposes of this recalculation, employees are assumed to produce a nitrate load <br /> concentration of 80 mg/L rather than 60 mg/L. <br /> Flow Rates <br /> As described in Section 3.3 of the original report, the average daily flow rates of the septic <br /> system on the site was estimated. These estimates remain unchanged as summarized in this <br /> table: <br /> 2937 Veneman Ave.,#B240 Gen-Phase Environmental Inc. Phone: (209)569-0293 <br /> Modesto,CA 95356 Fax: (209)569-0295 <br />
