WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO.R5-2003-0178 - 12- <br /> MORADA PRODUCE COMPANY <br /> LINDEN PACKING SHED <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> 8. The land application area shall be managed to prevent breeding of mosquitoes. More <br /> specifically: <br /> F ' a. All applied irrigation water 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 /> 9. Discharges to the land application area shall be managed to minimize both erosion and runoff <br /> from the land application area. <br /> 1 . <br /> 10. Application of wastewater to the land application areas via flood irrigation shall only occur on <br /> contours, furrows, or checks graded so as to achieve uniform distribution, minimize ponding <br /> and provide for tailwater control. Furrow runs shall be no longer and slopes shall be no greater <br /> than what permits reasonably uniform infiltration and maximum practical irrigation efficiency. <br /> The minimum furrow slope shall not be less than 0.2 percent. <br /> 11. Wastewater application areas shall be allowed to dry for at least 72 hours from the end of <br /> wastewater application. <br /> 12. There shall be no standing water in the land application area 24 hours after wastewater is <br /> applied. <br /> 13. Wastewater on discharge shall not occur within a 50-foot wide buffer zone alproperty g g any p perry Imes <br /> adjacent to properties developed with residences. <br /> 14. The perimeter of the land application areas shall be bermed or graded to prevent ponding along <br /> public roads or other public areas. <br />€ 15. The resulting effect of the wastewater discharge on the soil pH shall not exceed the buffering <br /> capacity of the soil profile. <br /> E. Solids Disposal: <br /> 1. Collected screenings, sludge, and other solids removed from wastewater shall be disposed of in <br /> a manner that is consistent with Title 27, Division 2, Subdivision 1 of the CCR and approved by <br /> the Executive Officer. <br /> 2. Sludge and other solids shall be removed from wastewater treatment equipment, sumps,ponds, <br /> etc. as needed to ensure optimal plant operation and adequate hydraulic capacity. Drying <br /> operations shall take place such that Ieachate does not impact the quality of groundwater or <br /> surface water. <br />
