WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. • _ MUSCO FAMILY OLIVE COMPANY AND THE STUDLEY COMPANY 24 WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 19. The resulting effect of the wastewater discharge on the soil pH shall not exceed the buffering capacity of the soil profile. 20. Application or impoundment of process wastewater shall not occur within 50 feet of any residential property boundary or occupied commercial building, unless it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Executive Officer that a shorter distance is justified. E. Solids Disposal: 1. Sludge and other solids shall be removed from wastewater treatment equipment, sumps, etc. as needed to ensure optimal plant operation and adequate hydraulic capacity and shall be disposed of in a manner that is consistent with Title 27, Division 2, Subdivision 1 of the CCR and approved by the Executive Officer. 2. Treatment and storage of solids and sludges (including olive pits) shall be confined to the Discharger's property and conducted in a manner that precludes infiltration of waste constituents into soils in a mass or concentration that will violate groundwater limitations. 3. Any storage of process wastewater solids or sludges (including olive pits) on the Discharger's property shall be temporary, controlled, and contained in a manner that minimizes leachate formation and precludes infiltration of waste constituents into soils. 4. Storage and disposal of domestic wastewater sludge (septage) shall comply with existing Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, including permitting requirements and technical standards. Sludge and other solids shall be removed from septic tanks as needed to ensure optimal operation and adequate hydraulic capacity. A duly authorized carver shall haul sludge, septage, and domestic wastewater. 5. Any proposed change in solids use or disposal practice from a previously approved practice shall be reported to the Executive Officer at least 90 days in advance of the change. F. Groundwater Limitations: The discharge, in combination with other sources, shall not cause underlying groundwater to contain waste constituents in concentrations statistically greater than background water quality. G. Provisions: 1. All technical reports required herein that involve planning, investigation, evaluation, or design, or other work requiring interpretation and proper application of engineering or geologic sciences, shall be prepared by or under the direction of persons registered to practice in California pursuant to California Business and Professions Code sections 6735, 7835, and 7835.1. To demonstrate compliance with section's 415 and 3065 of Title 16, CCR, all technical reports must contain a statement of the qualifications of the responsible registered professional(s). As required by these laws, completed technical reports must bear the signature(s) and seal(s) of the registered professional(s) in a manner such that all work can be clearly attributed to the professional responsible for the work.
