Nitrate was detected in the May 17 sample at a concentration of 0.4 mg/L-N and in the May 19 sample at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L-N. Live Oak then averaged the concentrations of the two samples, for a value of 0.3 mg/L-N to represent the nitrate concentration of rain. Because the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department has requested that local and recent data be utilized wherever possible, the concentration of the Lodi rainwater been selected for use in the nitrate loading calculation. Quantity and Quality of Domestic Wastewater According to information on file at the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, the Kusalakari Corporation plans to convert an existing 1,804 square foot barn into a reception area and office, convert an existing 5,000 square foot barn into an ordination hall, and construct a 5,900 square foot assembly hall.

Each retreat will last between three and ten days. According to the Use Permit application, events will also be held four times per year, with a maximum attendance of 200 guests. Brian McNamara and Jim Kahn were interviewed by phone on August 13, 2019, regarding the proposed facilities. They clarified that meditation retreats will be held approximately six to ten times per year. Half of these retreats will be expected to last ten days, while the other half will last only three days. For the purpose of this study, a maximum of 65 days of retreats are assumed. During a retreat, approximately two daily visitors (staying for only a few hours) would be anticipated. No other non-resident congregants would be present at the Site while a retreat is taking place. Mr. Kahn added that the facility's kitchen will only be used during retreats and events, and will not include a garbage disposal. The retreat residences will include toilets, showers, and sinks, but will not include kitchen or laundry facilities.
