| Objectives | The four acre J.F Enterprises Worm Farm facility is approximately 1.5 river miles downstream from Orange Blossom Bridge, off Wamble Road in Stanislaus County. As part of the worm culturing operation, 3 to 4 million gallons of water is diverted each day from the Stanislaus River to 41 shallow ponds on the south bank of the River. Approximately 22,000 pounds of prepared food are added to the ponds each month, and 76,000 pounds of worms are harvested annually. Approximately 1.44 million glallons per day (mgd) of groundwater is sprayed on the pond surface and groundwater is delivered to a 112,500 cubic foot settling basin. From the settling basin, process water is discharged at a maximum flow rate of 5.44 mgd to the Stanislaus River, a water of the United States, via Outfall 001. |
