OEV |
Electrical Conductivity @ 25 Deg. C 12-Month Average limit is 773 umhos/cm and reported value was 792 umhos/cm at EFF-001. |
The facility has identified and implemented programming efficiencies and reduced the chemical concentrations to the minimum concentration required by CDFA regulation. The facility has also directed the low conductivity COW water to the ponding system. The facility has identified a pasteurization unit (HTST #9) that will be connected to the existing chemical recovery system at the facility in an effort to reduce conductivity in the discharge. |

The facility has applied for and received an NPDES permit to discharge condensate water in an effort to reduce effluent volumes. This reduced effluent volume will allow the facility to empty, dry and perform percolation pond maintenance to increase percolation rates. The facility has performed maintenance which has led to increased percolation rates on ponds four, six, and seven so far. Pond five is empty and drying in preparation to perform percolation maintenance. |
