36.6 million gallons. Of this, 10.6* million gallons is delivered to the <br /> Bozzano field while the remaining 26 million gallons is distributed to fields <br /> 1, 2 & 3 and the Alpine field. Table 3 shows salt application per acre from <br /> wastewater and fresh irrigation water for the QAP cannery operation. <br /> * With the new sprinkler systems and proposed changes in dilution ratios, <br /> the wastewater portion used for irrigating the Bozanno field may decrease <br /> to as low as 7 million gallons per day average. (See Technical Report <br /> and Operating Plan) . <br /> Table 3 <br /> TOTAL SALT APPLICATION PER YEAR <br /> Fields 1, 2, & 3 <br /> Bozzano Field and Alpine Field* <br /> (90 acres) (772 acres) - <br /> Salts from irrigation water 1,288 lb/acre/year 1,288 lb/acre/year <br /> Salts from wastewater 736 lb/acre/year 2,322 lb/acre/year <br /> Total salts 2,024 lb/acre/year 3,610 lb/acre/year <br /> * 6 acres of Alpine field will be irrigated exclusively with fresh water <br /> along its perimeter to provide a buffer area. <br /> Salinity of Percolate <br /> Based on the assumptions outlined previously it was estimated that the <br /> equivalent uniform depth of the infiltrate at the site is 15.19 in./year. <br /> Salinity of the infiltrate was estimated as total salt applied/volume of <br /> infiltrate. Table 4 shows the estimated salinity of the infiltrate below the <br /> fields. <br /> Table 4 <br /> ESTIMATED SALINITY OF WATER WHICH <br /> PERCOLATES PAST THE ROOT ZONE <br /> Bozzano Field 590 mg/l <br /> Alpine Field and Fields 1, 2 & 3 1,050 mg/l <br /> 1-12 <br /> RP033-L <br />
