III. NITRATE LOADING STUDY FINDINGS <br /> The Nitrate Loading Study findings will be discussed in the following sequential categories: <br /> 1.)Projected wastewater flow volumes from the Church Bathrooms and Kitchen. <br /> 2.)Anticipated wastewater characteristics. <br /> 3.)Nitrate loading to the groundwater underlying the Church. <br /> 4.)Design Criteria. <br /> 5.) The Conclusions and Recommendations Section. <br /> A. WASTEWATER FLOW PROJECTIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS <br /> WASTEWATER FLOW VOLUME PROJECTIONS <br /> A number of variables are involved in estimating wastewater Average Daily Flows(ADF) from <br /> the proposed People of Christ Church. Wastewater flow volume projections for facilities in <br /> unsewered areas of San Joaquin County have been historically and typically calculated under one <br /> or more of the following guidelines: <br /> 1. Data published in the San Joaquin County Sewage Standards. <br /> 2. Data published in the scientific literature. <br /> 3. Number of bathroom fixtures for a facility, leading to calculated bathroom use per capita. <br /> 4. Number of parking spaces for a facility. <br /> 5. Anticipated maximum number of known people on-site. <br /> 6. Historical wastewater flow data from an existing or comparable facility. <br /> The following list of flow projection determinations describe the rationale for arriving at the <br /> average daily effluent flow volumes for the People of Christ Church: <br /> 1. The San Joaquin County Sewage Standards assigns 10 gallons per person for a Church with a <br /> Kitchen, and 5 gallons per person for a Church without a kitchen. Consequently, the additional 5 <br /> gallons is assigned to kitchen wastewater flows. It is my understanding that there will be 60 <br /> Parishioners on Sundays and 40 Parishioners on Wednesday evenings. <br /> 2. The total number of toilet fixtures for the new Church is proposed to be three toilets,one urinal, <br /> four sinks and two drinking fountains. The Sewage Standards assign 150 gallons per toilet <br /> fixture/day(Parishioner/Staff use),which is typically taken to incorporate urinals, sinks and <br /> drinking fountains. <br /> 3. The total number of parking spaces for the new Church is 53 total. Ten gallons per day are <br /> assigned to each parking stall. <br /> 11 <br /> i <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
