SOUTHWEST HIDE COMPANY <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Southwest Hide Company operates a animal hide curing and storage facility <br /> near the City of Manteca. eriney waste water is discharged to a sump where <br /> it is pumped to a plastic lined evaporation pond. The briney solution is <br /> returned to the curing tanks for reuse. <br /> Soil is composed of poorly graded sands or gravelly sands, silty sand, sand-silt <br /> mixture, nonplastic fines. These soils would have excellent percolation rates <br /> and poor water retention capabilities. <br /> Depth to groundwater (9 to 15 feet (3 to 5 m) varies with season and is affected <br /> by agricultural irrigation. <br /> Rainfall averages 12 inches (0.3 m) ; mean temperature is 610F (160C) ; evapora- <br /> tion averages 65 inches (1 .6 m) per year. <br /> The proposed requirements prohibit discharge of waste to surface or groundwater. <br /> FOM/ap 4/2/80 <br />
