INFORMATION SHEET <br /> ESCALON PACKERS, INC. <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Escalon Packers, Inc., owns a tomato processing and canning facility on McHenry Avenue, <br /> south of the City of Escalon. The facility seasonally operates from June through October. <br /> This permit allows discharge during emergency conditions (mechanical failure of the cooling <br /> towers). The wastewater that will be produced by Escalon Packers' operations consists of <br /> noncontact cooling water and evaporator water. Evaporator water is generated from condenser <br /> units that cool vapors drawn off from the tomato pulp cookers. Following the condensers, the <br /> evaporator water passes through a cooling tower for temperature reduction. The evaporator <br /> water and noncontact cooling water then combine and pass through two fine mesh screens to <br /> remove any residual tomato particles that might be present. The water will be chlorinated before <br /> discharge to the irrigation canal which is tributary to the Stanislaus River. <br /> The Discharger expects that discharge will occur on an infrequent basis, estimated at once every <br /> few years. Discharge will be 2.3 mgd to the Stanislaus River via the San Joaquin County Main <br /> District Canal. Process wastewater is discharged to the City of Escalon's wastewater treatment <br /> plant. <br /> KMG:ldj/June 28, 1995 <br />
