container and placed on ice for transport. The samples were analyzed for nitrate by <br /> FGL Environmental of Stockton. <br /> Nitrate was detected in the May 17, 2019 sample at a concentration of 0.4 mg/L-N, in <br /> the May 19, 2019 sample at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L-N, in the March 16, 2020 <br /> sample at a concentration of 0.2 mg/L, and in the May 18, 2020 sample at a <br /> concentration of 0.4 mg/L. Live Oak then averaged the concentrations of the four <br /> samples, for a value of 0.30 mg/L-N to represent the nitrate concentration of rain. <br /> Because the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department has requested that <br /> local and recent data be utilized wherever possible, the concentration of the Lodi <br /> rainwater been selected for use in the nitrate loading calculation. <br /> Quantity and Quality of Domestic Wastewater <br /> According to the Site Approval application on file at the San Joaquin County Community <br /> Development Department, the Murray Trailers facility will be open eight hours a day, <br /> five days a week. A total of 30 employees will be present daily after completion of <br /> construction, and an average of three customers per day are anticipated. The facility <br /> will operate year-round. <br /> The estimated sewage flow rates for various uses are available from a number of <br /> references. The uses presented below were guided by the San Joaquin County On-Site <br /> Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017), Crites and Tchobanoglous (1998), <br /> and US EPA (1980). Crites and Tchobanoglous indicate that 13 gallons per day for <br /> each employee is typical for an office or industrial worker, and 5 gallons per day per <br /> user is typical for a public lavatory; these rates were used for the facility's employees <br /> and customers. <br /> The estimated flow values discussed here should not be used for the design and sizing <br /> of the septic system. The design and sizing of the septic system should utilize the San <br /> Joaquin County Environmental Health Department On-Site Wastewater Treatment <br /> Systems Standards which incorporate peak and surge flow factors. The estimates used <br /> in the On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards may be greater than those <br /> discussed here. <br /> The maximum average daily flow for the Site was estimated to be 285 gallons per day <br /> (gpd), as calculated in the following table. <br /> LOGE 20-24 Page 12 <br />
