WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIR14S ORDER NO. U 10 <br /> SUTTER HOME WINERY <br /> LODI FACILITY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> 14. On or about 15 November of each year, available pond storage capacity shall at least equal the <br /> volume necessary to comply with Discharge Specifications B.12 and B.13. <br /> C. Effluent Limitations <br /> 1. Effective 16 June 2002, the maximum total nitrogen loading to the land application area shall not <br /> exceed the agronomic rate for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) for the type of crop to be grown, as <br /> specified in the most recent edition of the Western Fertilizer Handbook, PAN shall be calculated <br /> as 100% of the total nitrogen content of the waste, unless and until the Discharger demonstrates <br /> that another proportion is technically justified, as described in Provision G.13. <br /> 2. Effective as of 16 June 2002, the maximum BODS loading to the land application area shall not <br /> exceed: <br /> a. 300 lbs/acre-day on any single day; <br /> b. 100 lbslacre•day as a 7-day average; and; <br /> c. The maximum loading rate that ensures that the discharge will not create a nuisance. <br /> 3. The wastewater which enters the wastewater ponds shall not have a pH of less than 6.5 or greater <br /> than 8.5. <br /> 4. The wastewater discharged to the land application area shall not have a pH of less than 6.5 or <br /> greater than 8.5. <br /> D. Land Application Area Requirements: <br /> 1. The discharge shall be distributed uniformly on adequate acreage in compliance with the <br /> Discharge Specifications. <br /> 2. Crops shall be grown on the application area. Crops shall be selected based on nutrient uptake <br /> capacity, tolerance to high soil moisture conditions, and consumptive use of water and irrigation <br /> requirements. Cropping activities shall be sufficient to take up all the nitrogen applied. Crops <br /> shall be harvested and removed from the application area. <br /> 3. Hydraulic loading of wastewater and irrigation water shall be at reasonable agronomic rates <br /> designed to minimize the percolation of process wastewater and irrigation water below the root <br /> zone (i.e., deep percolation) <br /> 4. The discharge of process wastewater, including runoff, spray or droplets from the irrigation <br /> system, shall not occur outside the boundaries of the land application area. <br /> 5. Wastewater conveyance lines shall be clearly marked as such. Wastewater controllers, valves, <br /> etc. shall be posted with advisory signs; all equipment shall be of a type, or secured in such a <br /> manner, that permits operation by authorized personnel only. <br /> C:Troject Ffl sLSitesLSutter 140me\SuuerHomeVMR-3.doc <br />
