i • <br /> WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. 5-00-021 -2- <br /> RJM ENTERPRISES,BROWNS LAKE RANCH,AND <br /> RIVERCREST VINEYARDS,INC. <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> 6. During wine production, various chemicals are used as either an additive, a fining agent, or as a <br /> cleaner/sanitizer. These compounds may include the following: <br /> Wine Additive Wine Fining Agent Cleaner/Sanitizer <br /> Citric Acid Bentonite Caustic Soda <br /> Fumaric Acid Carbon Sodium Hypochlorite <br /> Malic Acid Copper Sulfate Chlorinated Trisodium Phosphate <br /> Tartaric Acid Nylon Polymer Caustic/Wetting Agent <br /> Diammonium Phosphate Potassium Bitartrate <br /> Potassium Metabisulfite <br /> 7. Winery wastewaters are screened at the drains and at the sump prior to discharge to the unlined <br /> pond. The sump is at the north end of the unlined pond. Screenings will be collected for off-site <br /> disposal. <br /> 8. The winery will expand its operations in five phases over a period of eight years. Discharges are <br /> planned to increase from the currant rate of approximately 3,000 gallons per day(0"P d) to a <br /> maximum of 150,000 gpd upon full expansion of the winery, corresponding to a 20,000 ton <br /> crush. Maximum seasonal flows generally occur from August to October during the grape <br /> crushing season. Flows will be metered at the process wastewater/stormwater sump. <br /> 9. Compound concentrations in the winery wastewater are the highest during the crush season, <br /> typically in the following ranges: <br /> Compound Units Concentration Range' <br /> Biochemical Oxygen Demand.'(BOD5)2 mg/l 676—4220 <br /> Total Suspended Solids mg/l 56-300 <br /> Settleable Solids mg/1 1.5 -2.0 <br /> Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) mg/l 1140-4250 <br /> Sulfate mg/l 84-215 <br /> Nitrate(as Nitrate) mg/l ND—238 <br /> 1 Samples collected in September, October,and November during the 1999 crush season. <br /> z Five-day,20°Celsius Biochemical Oxygen Demand. <br /> ND denotes not detected. <br /> 10. Winery wastewater is discharged to an unlined pond for evaporation and percolation. The <br /> dimensions of the pond are approximately 600 by 150 feet by 14 feet in depth, with a holding <br /> capacity of 660,000 cubic feet. Approximately five feet of the pond is below grade. Solids that <br /> accumulate on the pond bottom will routinely be scraped for removal to an agricultural user. <br />
