Nutrient Management Plan Report <br /> General Order No. R5-2007-0035,Attachment C <br /> July 1, 2009 deadline <br /> E. STORAGE PERIOD <br /> Storage period is the maximum period of time anticipated between land application of process wastewater (from storage <br /> ponds/lagoons) to croplands. A qualified agronomist and civil engineer should collaborate and collectively consider predominant <br /> soil types, soil infiltration rates, maximum depth, available water, field capacity, permanent wilting point, allowable depletion, crop <br /> water use, evapotranspiration, precipitation, irrigation system capacity, water delivery constraints, crop nutrient requirements, soil <br /> nutrient adsorbtion/desorption, rooting depth, nutrient accumulation/availability for current and future crop needs, facility wide <br /> process wastewater storage capacity and other factors as deemed necessary across all croplands where process wastewater is <br /> applied in selecting a storage period. In many cases conflicts will arise between crop water demands, crop nutrient demands and <br /> insufficient process wastewater storage capacity. Process wastewater may not be the best choice as a source of either water <br /> and/or nutrients to meet crop demands throughout the year. Groundwater and surface water vulnerability has been considered. <br /> The storage period selected in this Nutrient Management Plan is consistent with the storage period selected in the Waste <br /> Management Plan. <br /> Storage period: 120 days <br /> Mello Ranch 127181 E Carter RD I Escalon,CA 95320 1 San Joaquin County I San Joaquin River Basin <br /> 07/19/2021 14:28:48 Page 3 of 26 <br />
