Hydraulic loading of wastewater and irrigation water shall be at reasonable agronomic rates <br /> designed to minimize the percolation of process wastewater and irrigation water below the root <br /> zone (i.e., deep percolation). <br /> 9. The discharge of process wastewater, including runoff, spray or droplets from the irrigation <br /> system, shall not occur outside the boundaries of the land application or landscaped areas. <br /> 10. Wastewater conveyance lines shall be clearly marked as such. Wastewater controllers, valves, <br /> etc. shall be posted with advisory signs; all equipment shall be of a type, or secured in such a <br /> manner, that permits operation by authorized personnel only. <br /> 11. No physical connection shall exist between wastewater piping and any domestic water supply <br /> or industrial supply well without an air gap or approved reduced pressure device. <br /> 12. Public contact with wastewater shall be precluded through such means as fences, signs, and <br /> other acceptable alternatives. <br /> 13. The land application area shall be managed to prevent breeding of mosquitoes. More <br /> specifically: <br /> a. All applied irrigation water must infiltrate completely within 24 hours. <br /> b. Ditches not serving as wildlife habitat should be maintained free of emergent, marginal, <br /> and floating vegetation. <br /> c. Low pressure pipelines, unpressurized pipelines, and ditches that are accessible to <br /> mosquitoes shall not be used to store wastewater water. <br /> 14. Discharges to the land application area shall be managed to minimize both erosion and runoff <br /> from the land application area. <br /> 15. There shall be no standing water in the land application areas or landscaped areas 24 hours <br /> after wastewater is applied, except during periods of heavy rains sustained over two or more <br /> consecutive days. <br /> 16. The perimeter of the land application areas shall be bermed or graded to prevent ponding along <br /> public roads or other public areas. <br /> 17. The resulting effect of the wastewater discharge on the soil pH shall not exceed the buffering <br /> capacity of the soil profile. <br /> 18. Application or impoundment of process wastewater shall not occur within 50 feet of any <br /> residential property boundary or occupied commercial building, unless it is demonstrated to <br /> the satisfaction of the Executive Officer that a shorter distance is justified. <br /> E. Solids Disposal: <br /> 1. Sludge and other solids shall be removed from wastewater treatment equipment, sumps, etc. as <br /> needed to ensure optimal plant operation and adequate hydraulic capacity and shall be disposed <br />
