Objectives The Discharger own and operates a Tertiary Wastewater Treatment Facility. The treatment system consists of a headworks/flow diverter, two aerated ponds (Ponds 1&2) operated in series, followed by a non-aerated pond (Pond 4). Treated secondary wastewater is stored in Pond No. 6 for subsequent irrigation on-site on CCWDs 25 acres of spray irrigation fields. Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. 5-00-136 prescribes requirements for collection, treatment, storage, and disposal of secondary effluent. Wastewater to be reclaimed for collection, treatment, storage, and disposal of secondary effluent. Wastewater to be reclaimed on the SCGC is further treated to tertiary levels by utilizing wastewater stored in Pond 6 and further processing it with the use of a Microfloc, coagulation-flocculation, and two stage filtration system. Hypochlorite is added for disinfection and to control algae. A minimum of 90 minutes of chlorine contact time is achieved by the use of a 38 foot diameter (141,000-gallon) reclaimed water storage tank and in the wastewater conveyance pipe transporting the tertiary wastewater to the SCGC storage pond. Tertiary wastewater is then reclaimed for use on SCGC by sprinker irrigation. The Discharger is currently in the process of replacing the existing 0.5 MGD chlorination facilities with a 0.95 MGD capacity UV disinfection system. The anticipated date for UV System start-up is 1 August 2006.
