Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission SIW Budget Detail <br /> 1 ~ SEASONAL INDUSTRIAL WASTE FACILITY <br /> ~ <br /> The SIW handles the seasonal wastewater treatment needs of food processing operations located in <br /> ~ the service area. Cannery wastewater is treated by spray irrigation onto 190 acres of land located at <br /> the northeast corner of Prairie Road and West Beacon Drive. The irrigated land is managed for <br /> agricultural crop production by a local farmer under contract with the MWMC. In FY2000 the site <br /> ' will be managed to produce a hay crop for nutrient removal. <br /> The SIW also utilizes an 80 million gallon lagoon for storage of cannery wastewater during the <br /> non-irrigation season. Under regulatory provisions, supernatant from this lagoon can be pumped to <br /> the WPCF if absolutely necessary to maintain proper storage capacity. <br /> i <br /> l Significant Changes For FY 00-01 <br /> ( • The proposed budget for the Seasonal Industrial Waste Facility totals $658,381.
