�1 1 WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO.R5-2002-0034 SUTTER HOME WINERY I0 LODI FACILITY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 12. Freeboard in each pond shall never be less than two feet (measured vertically from the lowest point of the berm). 13. The wastewater treatment system shall have sufficient capacity to accommodate wastewater flow, groundwater infiltration, seasonal precipitation, and storage when the land application i. -area is flooded. Design seasonal:precipitatib" shall be based.ori�tofal"ariiival p"recipitation using a return period of 100 years, distributed monthly in accordance with historical rainfall patterns. 14. On or about 15 November of each year, available pond storage capacity shall at least equal the volume necessary to comply with Discharge Specifications B.12 and B.13. C. Effluent Limitations 1. Effective 16 June 2002, the maximum total nitrogen loading to the land application area shall not exceed the agronomic rate for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) for the type of crop to be grown, as specified in the most recent edition of the Western Fertilizer Handbook, PAN shall be calculated as 100% of the total nitrogen content of the waste, unless and until the Discharger demonstrates that another proportion is technically justified, as described in Provision G.13. 2. Effective as of 16 June 2002, the maximum BODS loading to the land application area shall not exceed any of the .following: a. 3001bs/acre•day on any single day; b. 100 lbs/acre-day as a 7-day average; c. The maximum loading rate that ensures that the discharge will not create a nuisance. 3. The wastewater discharged to the land application area shall not have a pH of less than 6.5 or greater than 8.5. D. Land Application Area Requirements: 1. The discharge shall be distributed uniformly on adequate acreage in compliance with the Discharge Specifications and Effluent Limitations. 2. Crops shall be grown on the application area. Crops shall be selected based on nutrient uptake capacity, tolerance to high soil moisture conditions, and consumptive use of water and irrigation requirements. Cropping activities shall be sufficient to take up all the nitrogen applied. Crops shall be harvested and removed from the application area. 3. Hydraulic loading of wastewater and irrigation water shall be at reasonable agronomic rates designed to minimize the percolation of process wastewater and irrigation water below the root zone (i.e., deep percolation)
