located in an area that is identified as having under laying ground water that is very high <br />in Nitrates. The Developer of the Castello Project, Mr. Dave Olmstead, commissioned a <br />"Nitrate Loading Study" to be performed. This study was completed in November, 1999. <br />This study is included in this report as Section II. The study illustrates a continuous rise <br />in Nitrate concentrations in several test wells over the past few years. For this reason, the <br />San Joaquin County Department of Environmental Health has required that the Castello <br />Project be serviced by a Wastewater Water Treatment Plant that can reduce total nitrogen <br />and produce a high quality effluent. With these considerations, the targeted and <br />guaranteed effluent quality is identified below; <br />Constituent Value <br />5-day B.O.D. 10 mg/I <br />Total Suspended Solids 10 mg/I <br />Total Nitrogen 10 mg/I <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent Irrigation/Disposal: <br />The methodology selected to be utilized for disposal of the high quality treated effluent <br />from the Bio-Purem Wastewater Treatment System is "sub-surface irrigation/disposal" <br />through the use of buried tubular emitters. The system selected is manufactured by <br />GeoFlowTm. This disposal system selection is not new or innovative in the wastewater <br />field. The State Water Resources Control Board, Central Valley Regional Water Quality <br />Control Board has permitted these systems in other areas of the State. When coupled with <br />the Bio-Pure'sTm high quality effluent, this methodology provides two (2) significant <br />advantages in dealing with wastewater effluent disposal; <br />1. Provides for a metered well dispersed application of water over a large area <br />at intermittent pulsing application rates. Applies water to a given area a <br />5
