Y es 'FRbM FAX NO. :2099315186 �?g. 09 2003 04:03PM P3 providing details of that meeting to me? Please note that I have received no correspondence or meeting notes from San Joaquin County EHD regarding what was discussed in that meeting. Letter Dated June 25.20113 With regards to your letter dated June 25,2003; i 1. Paragraph 1: 1 have attached an addendum to the Information I submitted on June 11,2003 In response to your request for information dated May 30,2003, Specifically I have provided the wastewater quality used on actual samples of our wastewater.(Attached)I hope that this will provide adequate data,when provided with the previously supplied Information,to give hoard staff the ability to concur with my assertion that the threat to groundwater quality from our Industrial waste Is nil. 2. Paraoraoh 2:This paragraph contains two errors based on miscommunication and misinterpretation of Chesney's Septic Design Report. a. Your statement that"...the project has changed substantially..."is incorrect as well as the statement that"Each of these devices and uses will add wastewater flow to the system and were not Included In the original sizing calculations". i. Chesney's referenced document did not Include a completeequipment list and plumbing plan. It was never a comprehensive and definitive explalnation of every piece of equipment and process we have. Its intention was to give our overall water use and design parameters for the septic system and nitrite studies. The "changes"are actually Clarifications and uses that are still well within the per diem usage. ii. Chesneys report on page 10 states that Clean-Up at the end of each day is approximately 325 gallons a day. This should have been more accurately described as"maximum allowable non-domestic water usage". I 1. For example I know that we only use about 100 gallons per day Including the washing machine. What Chesney did for a design approach was to work backwards from allowable maximum discharge based on nitrite levels and square footage,subtracted the amount of black water that is calculated by County Sewage standards for customers and employees and came up with a maximum allowable process water flow. This number is well above what we use. He chose to not use the detailed Information had provided him regarding wash down flow rates,wash down frequency, and washing machine usage and capacity. � 2. We will be installing a flowmeter in the wastewater system so exact usage will be monitored.The bottom line Is that the Flowmeter will tell us exactly how much water we are using, I b, ParagraphA: This paragraph Is basically a restatement of paragraph 3, We are aware of the need to keep water usage to a minimum. As an example of our attention to this area we have at extra cost, Installed lavaratory fixtures that shut off automatically. c. I believe that anybody with some general knowledge of wastewater systems can clearly see that our facility will not even come close to the design criteria of 1,800 gallons per day even when future growth and customer visits are factored in. I would challenge anyone to
