Public contact with waste water shall be precluded through such means as fences, <br /> signs, and other acceptable alternatives. <br /> 8. Ponds shall have sufficient capacity to accommodate allowable waste water flow and <br /> design seasonal precipitation and ancillary inflow and infiltration during the <br /> nonirrigation season. Freeboard shall never be less than two feet(measured vertically), <br /> to include the 100-year, 24-hour storm. <br /> 9.
