| Objectives | The discharger discharges process water from growing and washing sprouts. The wastewater is discharged from Outfall 001 to the storm drain system that is owned and operated by the City of Sacramento. The storm drain ultimately discharges to Morrison Creek, a water of the United States and a tributary to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The facility produces 3.5 million pounds per year of organic mung bean sprouts. Supply water is provided by an on-site water supply well. The water is used to irrigate and cool the bean sprouts during the growing stage, and to wash the bean sprouts upon completion of the growing cycle. Some additional washwater is produced during washing of equipment used for sprout growing. The facility generate up to 104,000 gallons per day (gpd) of wastewater from irrigation and bean sprouts cooling, and 20,000 gpd of washwater from beans and equipment washing. |
