The maximum total nitrogen loading to the land treatment unit shall not exceed the agronomic <br /> rate for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) for the type of crop to be grown, as specified in the <br /> most recent edition of the Western Fertilizer Handbook. PAN shall be calculated as 100%of <br /> the total nitrogen content of the waste, unless and until the Discharger demonstrates that <br /> another proportion is technically justified, as described in Provision G.9. <br /> 4. By 1 May 2003, the wastewater discharged to the land application areas shall not have a pH <br /> less than 6.5 or greater than 8.5. <br /> D. Land Treatment Unit Requirements: <br /> 1. Crops shall be grown on the LTUs. Crops shall be selected based on nutrient uptake <br /> capacity, tolerance to site-specific soil, and irrigation requirements. Crops shall be harvested <br /> and removed from the application area. <br /> 2. Hydraulic loading of wastewater and irrigation water shall be at reasonable agronomic rates <br /> designed to minimize the percolation of water below the root zone (i.e., deep percolation). <br /> 3. The discharge shall be distributed uniformly on adequate acreage in compliance with the <br /> Discharge Specifications. <br /> 4. Discharge of process wastewater, including runoff, spray or droplets from the irrigation <br /> system, shall not occur outside the boundaries of the LTUs. <br /> 5. Wastewater conveyance lines shall be clearly marked as such. Wastewater controllers, <br /> valves, etc. shall be posted with advisory signs; all equipment shall be of a type, or secured in <br /> such a manner, that permits operation by authorized personnel only. <br /> 6. Public contact with wastewater shall be precluded through such means as fences, signs, and <br /> irrigation management practices. Signs with proper wording of sufficient size shall be placed <br /> at areas of access and around the perimeter of the LTUs to alert the public of the use of <br /> wastewater. <br /> 7. The LTUs shall be managed to prevent breeding of mosquitoes. More specifically: <br /> a. All applied wastewater must infiltrate completely within 24 hours. <br /> b. Ditches not serving as wildlife habitat should be maintained free of emergent,marginal, <br /> and floating vegetation. <br /> c. Low pressure pipelines, unpressurized pipelines, and ditches that are accessible to <br /> mosquitoes shall not be used to store wastewater. <br /> 8. Wastewater application areas shall be allowed to dry for at least 72 hours after cessation of <br /> wastewater application. <br /> V:IS.Jw um NwISSUR\OtrirnPProJ«+Fila\BarCrsk\WDR.tloc <br />
