Mark and Lynette Lucchesi - 2 - 7 September 2012 Ripon, California Wastewater generated during crushing, bottling and racking and contact storm water will be stored in the 2,000 gallon tank and then transferred to a portable 500 gallon tank to be periodically spray-applied to a nearby 20-acre peach orchard Land Application Area (LAA). Crush solids and recovered skimmed solids during fermentation will be separated out by hand and temporally stored in plastic crates at the wash station or in a nearby building. Approximately 3 tons of pomace (grape stems, seeds, and skins) will be produced each year, with approximately 1.5 tons produced during each month of crush. During the crush season, pomace will be applied to a nearby 20-acre peach orchard LAA using a tractor with discing equipment. Solids will be spread as generated at a uniform thickness within the top 3 to 6 inches of soil. Because the peach orchard is at a slightly lower elevation than access roads that surround the perimeter of the property, this elevation difference should provide adequate tailwater containment and prevent stormwater runoff. Domestic wastewater is collected separately from the process wastewater. Domestic wastewater will be collected in a septic tank and discharged to a nearby leachfield system, which is permitted through San Joaquin County. The use of septic systems for process wastewater discharge is inappropriate.
