RE:

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT FOR JANUARY

For the month of January there were 288 calls for services for ambulance services within our area and within
surrounding areas. Crews were also dispatched to 544 requests for services in January for fire calls, including
house fires, trash and warming fires, building fires, vehicle fires and unintentional or false alarm calls. This
total equates to 332 calls in January, or just over 10 calls per day.
Chute times are measured from the time the station is notified of an alarm to the time the unit goes enroute.
For the month of January our chute time was 77 seconds, just below our benchmark of 90 seconds.
Approximately 25% of the time our chute time was measured at less than 45 seconds. Our travel time is
measured from the time the unit is enroute to the time that we arrive on scene. For January our median
response time was 6 minutes, 44 seconds within the City. This is just over our benchmark of under 6 minutes
within the City. Our total call time for the month of January for EMS calls was measured at one hour, 5
minutes per call.
The Fire Department continued our recruitment efforts with our vacancies at single-role Paramedic and
Firefighter. In January we opened the recruitment for Paramedic and moved one of our Non-Safety EMTs into
a vacant Firefighter spot. We started the internal fire academy at the beginning of February and hope to finish
by the beginning of March. In addition, we will be interviewing and testing for the vacant Paramedic spots in
February with the hope of hiring by the end of May. Aside from the vacancies at the Non-Safety role, we are
fully staffed on the suppression side.
Administratively our staff have started working on end-of-the-year reporting requirements and are looking
forward to making mid-year adjustments. In addition, we started our State required inspections of our local
schools and multi-family dwellings. We continued our education into the new Federal reporting system called
NERIS and will look to start implementing other State-mandated programs into the Fire Department, including
a system that tracks personnel qualifications and Fire Department resources at a State level.
I am always available if you have any questions.

Page 69 of 179

Treatment Plant are still undergoing critical maintenance and repair. Remaining tasks include cleaning,
inspecting, repairing, and applying new epoxy remaining clarifiers, the thickener, and the DAF unit coating
and repairs, inspecting, repairing, and replacing the decayed lines leading from Headworks as well as
refurbishing. Additionally, as repair and maintenance efforts progress, previously unanticipated
deficiencies and infrastructure issues have continued to emerge, necessitating immediate attention to
prevent further system degradation and ensure uninterrupted plant operations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The exact fiscal impact is not fully known at this time as the work is being performed on a Time and
Material basis due to the time sensitivity, but Staff will provide an updated budget for the project at further
upcoming Council meetings.
Any additional costs for more repairs and materials will be brought back to City Council and addressed
appropriately. The costs will be funded from Sewer Enterprise funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
No recommended alternatives. Until all repairs and maintenance are done, the Wastewater Treatment Plant
remains non-compliant.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Per the Resolution, Staff will provide Council updates and seek ratification of any contracts at those meetings.

Having carefully chosen water valves assessed is a strategic investment that will enhance the efficiency of
our operations, provide a safer working environment for our staff, and will create a more reliable
infrastructure within our water distribution system.
Staff researched and held meetings with several contractors including Specialized Utility Services Program
(SUSP), ME Simpson, and Valve Kings to ascertain if they had the ability to perform the scope of work
the City of Sanger requires on this project. Public Works staff meticulously evaluated the information and
proposals each contractor presented; and after reviewing cost, staffing and equipment to be used, and the
ability to effectively perform the necessary scope of work, it is recommended that SUSP is the best choice
for the City and our team.
Staff obtained quotes from different contractors in order to compare who could provide the best value to
the City of Sanger. Items considered when evaluating the total cost of the project were the number of days
the project would take, the number of staff that would be provided for the project, and if there were any
mobilization fees involved.
SUSP is going to provide a minimum of four operators and one GIS technical specialist for the water valve
assessment project. The scope of services includes:
•
•
•
•
•

Exercising and documenting valves within the boundaries predetermined by the City
Providing the City with a complete GIS map and updating city plats with accurate valve locations
Providing detailed notes about the condition of each valve
Documenting shutdown capabilities and identifying areas where isolation is currently unachievable.
Preparing a corrective action plan based on assessment findings.

In many high-priority areas of the City, achieving a water shutdown is currently difficult or impossible due
to aged infrastructure, missing valves, or inaccurate mapping. When a valve fails to isolate an area, staff
must seek out more distant valves, often repeating the process several times. This creates issues such as
extended downtime, increased labor hours, and delays in repairs.
Reliable valve isolation is essential not only for emergency maintenance but also to support City growth
as we currently have numerous street Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Projects and Private Developer
Projects that depend on this system’s reliability to stay on schedule and within budget.
By doing this assessment, we will provide staff with a more functional distribution system, and the project
will greatly enhance the capabilities of the Public Works Department and provide improvements to our
water valve inventory.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Currently, City staff must rely on a system of water valves that cannot always provide a reliable water
shutdown greatly reducing operating efficiency and the ability to perform inspections or make repairs. By
investing in this assessment, we can greatly increase our efficiency and create a safer working environment
for our staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY2025/26 budget has existing appropriations in the Water Division Enterprise Fund, account #611Page 78

Page 79 of 179

070-401-7205, for the water valve assessment project. The total cost of the project is not to exceed $95,000.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve the project. Staff will continue working with valves that aren’t fully functional and maps
that aren’t up-to-date.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
Once approved the City Manager will sign the agreement on behalf of the City, and the project can then
commence in April 2026. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the 2026 fiscal year (June
30, 2026).

MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
ESPERANZA ROSALES – PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR

Date:

February 3, 2026

To:

Esperanza Rosales, Public Works Director

From:

Shaffer Fluetsch, Public Works Management Analyst

Subject:

Water Valve Assessment Project

Please let this memo serve as justification for only using two proposals when deciding which vendor presents
the best value for the water valve assessment project. Staff researched a number of companies to determine if
they had the ability to perform the scope of work the city is wanting to complete. Companies such as McMor
and IWater informed us they wouldn’t be able to perform the work required. Hydromax doesn’t work in
California, and Wachs Utility Products informed us that they only manufacture and don’t perform any services.
After an exhaustive search, we were able to obtain three qualified candidates: Valve King, ME Simpson, and
SUSP. ME Simpson and SUSP were able to provide the city their proposals; however, after many attempts to
get a proposal from Valve King unsuccessfully.
Given the specialized nature of the work and lack of other viable service providers in the region, these two
submissions represent a competitive environment sufficient to determine “best value” for the City. Proceeding
at this time ensures the project remains on schedule and the city’s water infrastructure receives necessary
assessment without further administrative delay.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Valve Assessment and Exercising Program
At M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., our Valve Assessment and Exercising Program is designed to help utilities ensure
the operability, accuracy, and reliability of critical valve assets across their water distribution systems.
Much like other buried infrastructure, water valves are subject to deterioration, corrosion, and neglect—
issues that can lead to severe service disruptions if left unaddressed. Our program combines decades of
field expertise with disciplined procedures and precision tools to provide water utilities with precise,
actionable data to maintain and optimize their valve networks.

Field Scope of Service
M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will conduct comprehensive valve assessments in the water distribution system as
determined by the Utility. Here's a condensed breakdown of our field scope of service:

Field Scope of Service – Shutdowns
M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. will conduct shutdown services on the segments of water main designated through
the comprehensive valve assessment program. Here's a condensed breakdown of our field scope of
service: The crew will isolate specific segments of the water main between two valves, beginning by
setting up a secure traffic and work zone, and preparing the selected valves. They will observe and follow
system hydraulics as closely as possible. They will slowly close the upstream valve, then close the
downstream valve in the same manner, ensuring the valves are fully seated. Once both valves are closed,
bleed the pressure from the isolated segment by installing a pressure gauge and then opening the nearest
hydrant on that pipe segment or blow-off to ensure the flow ceases, and the pressure gauge reads zero.
Once the shutdown has been verified, re-energize the line by slowly opening the selected valves that
created the shutdown.

PROJECT SAFETY PLAN
M.E. Simpson Co., Inc.’s Safety Programs cover all aspects of the work performed by M.E. Simpson Co.,
Inc. We take great pride in our safety program, and that is evident in our EMR scores over the last five
years. The safety of our employees, the utilities employees, and that of the general public is our #1
priority.

“Safety is a significant part of any project. M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. consistently provides a safe work
environment for its employees. Our staff is trained in General Industry OSHA rules, Confined Space
Entry & Self-Rescue, First Responder First Aid, CPR, and Traffic Control. While in the field on your
project, M.E. Simpson Co., Inc., and its employees will follow all of the necessary safety procedures to
protect themselves, your staff, and the general public.”
Our Safety Program, with all of its parts, is 140 pages in length. To be more efficient and less wasteful, we
do not print copies of the safety program for RFPs. There is nothing secretive or proprietary contained
within our safety program, and we are happy to share its contents. If you would like a PDF copy, please
contact Terrence Williams, Operations Manager, at (800) 255-1521, and a copy will be sent to you via
email.
M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. uses Two-Man Teams for Safety and Quality Assurance.
The use of a “one-person” team is dangerous. Many of the utilities' assets are located in roadways,
treatment facilities, and confined spaces. For safety, M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. always deploys a two-person
team.
M.E. Simpson Co., Inc. adheres to the following:
The Project Manager and the Field Manager will be trained in accordance with OSHA Standard 1910
(General Industry) and have an OSHA 10-Hour or 30-Hour Card.
Any activity located in a "confined space", such as pit and vault installations that require entry, will be
treated per the safety rules regarding Confined Space Entry, designated by the Utility, the Department
of Labor, and OSHA. All personnel are trained and certified in Confined Space Entry & Self-Rescue.
We will follow all safety rules regarding First Responder First Aid & CPR, designated by the Utility, the
Department of Labor, and OSHA. All personnel are trained and certified in First Responder First Aid &
CPR.
We will follow all traffic safety rules designated by the Utility, the Department of Labor, OSHA, and
the Department of Transportation. All personnel are trained and certified by the AMERICAN TRAFFIC
SAFETY SERVICES ASSOCIATION (ATSSA) in Traffic Control and Safety.

Current documentation of safety training and certifications can be provided for all project personnel for
the Utility. These certifications are current and up-to-date for all project personnel.

Hi Andy. Attached are the shapefiles we’ve had our GIS staff put together for specific sections in
the city that are of the most concern to us. We have it narrowed down to about 200 valves within
our distribution system that will need addressing. As a reminder, here is the scope of work we are
looking for:

Getting our valves accurately mapped in GIS
Noting the condition of each valve with recommendations if
Verifying shutdowns
Having a corrective action plan put in place once valves have been mapped, exercised, and
shutdowns have been confirmed

George, please let me know if I’m missing anything.

Please let me know if you need anything else in order to review and provide us a quote. Thank you

My name is Andy Alvarez, and I am with Valve King. I spoke with George last year about implementing a
valve exercising program. At that time, he suggested reaching out before July 1st. I’ve tried contacting him
but haven’t been able to get through. We also sent a quote for valve maintenance last year.

I’d like to discuss this further and explore how we can assist you. Could we schedule a meeting at your

Thank you for your time and consideration.

BACKGROUND
The City of Sanger contracted with AM Consulting Engineers to conduct a comprehensive local limit
study. The City of Sanger operates two separate wastewater treatment facilities:
•
•

Domestic WWTF: Operating under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) R5-2014-0004.
Industrial WWTF: Operating under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) 98-131

The City’s Industrial Pretreatment Program is mandated by federal and state regulations (40CFR 403) to
ensure industries do not discharge pollutants that could:
•
•
•

Interfere with the Wastewater Treatment Facility treatment processes.
Cause the City to violate its WDR permit limits or water quality standards.
Contaminate biosolids (sludge) or impact public health and safety.

Local Limits
Local Limits are specific pollutant concentration limits set by the City for industrial discharges into the
sanitary sewer system. They are the primary tool used to protect the treatment facilities, the environment,
and public health. The City’s previous local limits were outdated. This comprehensive study was
required and conducted using current monitoring data and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
guidance to update them.
Study Objectives
The Study was performed with the following key objectives:
•
•
•

Evaluate Existing Conditions: Assess current wastewater pollutant loading at both the Domestic
and the Industrial Treatment Facilities.
Determine Capacity: Establish available treatment capacity based on current WDR design criteria.
Update Pollutant Limits: Develop new industrial discharge limits that:
o Protect each facilities treatment performance.
o Maintain compliance with state and federal regulations.
o Preserve capacity for future industrial and residential growth.

Development of Local Limits
The development process involved two distinct phases:
Phase I: Evaluation of WDR-Based Local Limit
This phase focused on pollutants regulated by the City’s current WDRs.
•

•

Domestic WWTF Evaluation: The analysis centered on Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD),
Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Electrical Conductivity (EC). Recent sampling data from the
plant and collection system were used to partition the load between residential and industrial
sources. The findings were compared against the facility’s design capacity to confirm available
capacity and develop updated industrial limits that remain within WDR compliance.
Industrial WWTF Evaluation: A similar approach was used, comparing monitoring data to the
facility’s design flow and treatment capacity, particularly focusing on the strength of wastewater
from major industries.
Page 118

Page 119 of 179

Phase II: Evaluation of Local Limits Using EPA Guidance
This phase applied the U.S. EPA’s Local Limits Development Guidance (2004) to evaluate additional
Pollutants of Concern that may affect: treatment performance, biosolid quality, and receiving water
quality. The process involved:
•
•
•
•

Identifying Pollutants of Concern not directly regulated by the WDR’s (e.g metals).
Determining pollutant removal efficiency at each facility.
Calculating Maximum Allowable Headworks Loadings (MAHLs) the highest pollutant load that
can enter the facility without causing interference or environmental harm.
Using the most conservative MAHL results to recommend protective local limits.

Proposed Local Limits
The study recommends the following updated local limits for both the Domestic and Industrial WWTF’s,
derived from the WDR, facility design data, and EPA guidance:

Page 120 of 179

The proposed limits are essential for several key reasons: they are necessary to protect each facility’s
treatment performance and long-term reliability, required to maintain compliance with regulatory
requirements, serve to fairly allocate capacity between residential and industrial users, and preserve
sufficient treatment capacity for future growth.
Outreach and Industry Engagement
The Public Works Department conducted a series of meetings with affected industries to present the draft
Local Limits Evaluation Study. These meetings were collaborative and productive; staff addressed
technical questions regarding the proposed new limits, and industry representatives were provided with
the opportunity to discuss potential operational impacts.
Electrical Conductivity (EC) Limit Exemptions for Dischargers
One of the City’s primary industries communicated that they would be unable to meet the newly proposed
Electrical Conductivity (EC) limits based on their current operations. In response, the City sought further
guidance from the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The Regional Board determined that the City is exempt from strictly enforcing the EC limits on individual
dischargers provided that the City remains an active participant in the Central Valley Salinity Alternatives
for Long Term Sustainability (CV-SALTS) coalition. CV-SALTS is a collaborative initiative developed
to manage salt and nitrates in the Central Valley to ensure long-term water quality and economic
sustainability.
Under this program, the City must ensure that these industries maintain their current discharge quality,
provided these levels do not worsen. This specific exemption and the requirement to maintain current EC
discharge quality will be formally documented in the respective user discharge permit.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
To establish Implementation Plan (Regulatory Submittal and Ordinance Amendment) to ensure legal
compliance, financial responsibility, and infrastructure longevity.
FISCAL IMPACT
Acceptance is a crucial step in sound fiscal stewardship, primarily generating benefits through cost
avoidance of penalties associated with regulatory non-compliance and long-term asset protection.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not accept the report and provide staff with further direction, although not recommended.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The Public Works Department will submit the Local Limit Evaluation Report to the Regional Water
Quality Control Board for approval and subsequently prepare the necessary ordinance amendments.

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1.

Need for Local Limits

Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) serve a crucial role in regulating the type and volume of
pollutants introduced into municipal wastewater systems. These regulations are essential for protecting
treatment facilities from operational disruptions, preventing the pass-through of contaminants,
maintaining water quality in the underlining groundwater and receiving streams, preserving sludge
integrity, and ensuring worker safety. Additionally, POTWs must effectively manage conventional
pollutants to maintain compliance with permit limits while ensuring the long-term efficiency of their
systems.
To regulate the discharge of toxic and conventional pollutants from non-domestic sources, POTWs
establish and enforce Pretreatment Standards, commonly referred to as local limits. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlines the recommended approach for developing these limits
in its Local Limits Development Guidance (2004).
The City of Sanger (City) owns and operates two separate wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs): a
Domestic WWTF and Industrial WWTF. These facilities serve residential, commercial, and industrial users
within the City’s service area and are located on adjacent properties southeast of the City limits. Each
WWTF operates with independent collection, treatment, and disposal systems and is regulated under
separate Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
This Local Limits Study was prepared to evaluate and establish pollutant discharge limitations for both the
City of Sanger’s Domestic and Industrial WWTFs. The purpose of the Study is to ensure that non-domestic
discharges do not interfere with the performance of the WWTF’s, hinder the safe disposal or reuse of
biosolids, or cause violations of the effluent limitations and groundwater protection requirements
specified in the respective WDRs. Accordingly, this Study evaluates discharge limits for each facility based
on its design capacity to treat specific pollutants such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total
suspended solids (TSS), electrical conductivity (EC), and fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Where facility-specific
design limits are not defined for a pollutant, local discharge limits are established using procedures
outlined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Local Limits Development Guidance (July 2004).

1.2.

Facility Description

The City of Sanger operates two separate WWTFs, each serving different segments of the community’s
wastewater system. These facilities are regulated under distinct WDRs and differ in their treatment
processes, effluent disposal methods, and the nature of incoming wastewater. The following subsections
provide detailed overviews of each facility, including design capacity, key infrastructure, operational
practices, and influent characteristics. This foundational information supports the evaluation of pollutant
loadings and the development of technically appropriate local limits specific to each facility’s
configuration and regulatory obligations.

Page 127

City of Sanger
Local Limits Study
Section 1 – Introduction

1.2.1. Domestic Wastewater Treatment Facility
The Domestic WWTF is regulated under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order No. R5-2014-0004.
The facility includes a headworks with a grit chamber, two primary clarifiers, an activated sludge unit,
secondary clarifiers, a sludge thickener, an anaerobic digester, a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) unit,
centrifuge, and a sludge holding tank. Although a disinfection system is installed, it is not currently in
operation. Treated effluent is conveyed through a 20-inch PVC pipeline to the Lincoln Ponds, a 120-acre
City-owned property with six percolation ponds. Each pond covers approximately nine acres, providing a
combined storage capacity of 328 acre-feet. Three ponds are actively used for effluent disposal, while the
remaining two are reserved for emergency use. The WWTF is designed to treat an average dry-weather
flow of 3.0 million gallons per day (MGD). From 2021 through 2024, the facility treated an average influent
flow of approximately 1.67 MGD.
Per WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004, the design influent average annual BOD and TSS concentrations are
224 mg/L and 226 mg/L, corresponding to 5,604 pounds per day (lbs/day) and 5,655 lbs/day, respectively.
In comparison, influent data collected in 2024 indicated an average annual flow of 1.80 MGD, with BOD
and TSS concentrations of 243 mg/L and 272 mg/L, representing loadings of 3,649 lbs/day and 4,079
lbs/day. The average EC concentration in 2024 was 777 µmhos/cm, equating to approximately 11,651
lbs/day. Under the WDR, the maximum allowable EC in the discharge may not exceed the weighted
average of the source water plus 500 µmhos/cm. Based on monitoring of the City’s ten groundwater
supply wells, the weighted average EC of the source water was 281 µmhos/cm, establishing a discharge
limit of 781 µmhos/cm.
The Domestic WWTF primarily receives wastewater from residential and commercial sources within the
City, along with contributions from four industrial users: Initiative Foods (private-label baby food
manufacturer), International Paper (corrugated packaging producer), Pitman Family Farms (chicken
hatchery), and GBI USA Co. (pet treat manufacturer. While none of these users currently meet the
definition of a Significant Industrial User (SIU), their discharges may contain pollutants that affect
treatment performance or effluent quality. Accordingly, this Study evaluates the combined contributions
of industrial and non-industrial sources to determine whether local limits are necessary for specific POCs.
1.2.2. Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility
The Industrial WWTF operates under WDR Order No. 98-131 and is designed to treat up to 1.3 MGD of
wastewater generated primarily by Pitman Farms and Gibson Winery. From 2021 through 2024, the
WWTF received an average influent flow of approximately 0.842 MGD, with a 30-day maximum daily
average of approximately 1.07 MGD.
The treatment process includes headworks with dual aerated grit chambers, three mechanically aerated
treatment ponds, one aerated storage pond, and three non-aerated storage ponds. The treatment ponds
are lined with soil cement, and the storage ponds are lined with synthetic liners to minimize percolation.
Treated effluent is applied to 116 acres of adjacent farmland via flood or furrow irrigation at agronomic
rates. The facility also has provisions to utilize a shared clarifier and filter system, operated in coordination
with the Domestic WWTF, for additional treatment when necessary. Sludge that accumulates in the

Page 128

City of Sanger
Local Limits Study
Section 1 – Introduction

treatment ponds is removed at the discretion of a local grower and land-applied for agricultural purposes
on City-owned reclamation fields. The City does not oversee sludge removal or application activities but
conducts mid-year monitoring to assess solids accumulation levels.
Consistent with the Domestic WWTF, WDR Order No. 98-131 specifies that influent EC shall not exceed
the weighted average EC of the source water plus 500 µmhos/cm. Based on monitoring of the City’s
groundwater supply wells, this establishes an influent EC limit of 781 µmhos/cm. Unlike the Domestic
WWTF, the Industrial WWTF’s WDR does not prescribe numeric effluent limitations for BOD or TSS.
Instead, design values identified in a 1995 Black & Veatch memorandum specify maximum month daily
average concentrations of 3,360 mg/L BOD and 760 mg/L TSS, corresponding to 36,429 lbs/day and 8,240
lbs/day, respectively. By comparison, influent monitoring conducted in 2024 indicated a 30-day maximum
daily average flow of 0.993 MGD, with average BOD and TSS concentrations of 1,160 mg/L. The average
EC influent concentration in 2024 was 1,015 µmhos/cm, equivalent to approximately 8,403 lbs/day.
The Industrial WWTF exclusively receives wastewater from Pitman Farms and Gibson Winery, both of
which have been designated by the City as SIUs. Their discharges contain elevated levels of BOD, TSS, and
EC that can significantly affect treatment performance and effluent quality. Accordingly, this Study
evaluates pollutant contributions from these SIUs relative to facility design capacity and regulatory
requirements to determine whether local limits are warranted for POCs.

1.3.

Industrial Dischargers

The City of Sanger provides sewer service to residential, commercial, and industrial users within its service
area. A dedicated industrial sewer system conveys wastewater exclusively from two SIUs: Gibson Winery
and Pitman Farms. Gibson Winery, a producer of table and dessert wines, discharges primarily during the
grape crush season, with peak flows typically occurring between August and October. Pitman Farms, a
poultry processing facility, generates wastewater on a relatively consistent basis unlike Gibson Winery.
The volume, strength, and variability of these industrial discharges have the potential to introduce
elevated pollutant loadings, particularly BOD, TSS, EC and FOG, that may impact treatment performance,
regulatory compliance, and the ability to manage biosolids in accordance with state and federal standards.
For these reasons, a careful evaluation of pollutant contributions from both SIUs is critical to protecting
the Industrial WWTF.
The Domestic WWTF, in contrast, receives flows from residential neighborhoods, commercial
establishments, and several small-scale industrial sources, as detailed in Section 1.2.1. Although the
industrial users are currently not designated by the City as SIUs, their discharges can still affect treatment
plant performance by influencing operational efficiency, effluent quality, and compliance with WDR Order
No. R5-2014-0004.
To address these potential impacts, this Study evaluates pollutant loading from both industrial and nonindustrial sources to determine whether local limits are necessary at each facility. The following sections
outlines the methodology used to identify and assess POCs. This evaluation establishes the technical
foundation for developing defensible local limits that protect the treatment capacity and operational
integrity of both WWTFs, ensure ongoing compliance with applicable WDRs, and safeguard public health,
water quality, and the environment.

Section 2 – Pollutants of Concern

SECTION 2 - LOCAL LIMIT DEVELOPMENT
2.1.

Pollutants of Concern

The development of local limits is critical to ensuring the efficient operation of the publicly owned
treatment works (POTW), protecting worker health and safety, preventing the discharge of harmful
pollutants into the environment, and maintaining the quality of treated sludge. These limits also play a
key role in ensuring compliance with discharge permits and aligning with federal, state, and local
regulatory requirements. To achieve these goals, it is essential to identify and regulate POCs that have the
potential to disrupt wastewater treatment processes, compromise effluent quality, or pose
environmental and public health risks.
POCs are pollutants that require monitoring and control to safeguard the wastewater treatment facility,
its operators, the integrity of the collection system, and the proper disposal of treated effluent and
biosolids. These pollutants can contribute to pass-through contamination, interfere with treatment
processes, damage infrastructure, or affect a facility’s ability to manage and dispose of biosolids in
compliance with environmental standards.
The following sections outline the criteria for determining whether a pollutant should be classified as a
POC. While multiple factors may justify the inclusion of a pollutant on this list, its designation as a POC
does not necessarily mean that a local limit must be established. The need for local limits is evaluated in
Section 4, where a thorough assessment is conducted. If a pollutant is identified as a POC, data collection
and a detailed analysis must be carried out to determine the appropriate regulatory and treatment
measures needed to mitigate its impact.

2.2.

EPA POCs

The EPA has designated 15 key pollutants that are commonly present in wastewater treatment plant
effluent and biosolids. These pollutants are classified as POCs due to their potential to impact treatment
processes, effluent quality, and biosolid management. As part of any local limits evaluation, these
pollutants must be assessed to determine their potential risks and the need for regulatory controls. A
comprehensive list of these pollutants is provided in Table 2-1.

Waste Discharge Requirements POCs

While federally regulated pollutants remain a primary focus, both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs are
also subject to locally established pollutant control measures that account for site-specific regulatory
requirements and environmental conditions. For the Domestic WWTF, WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004
establishes effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for discharges to the onsite effluent disposal
ponds. Pollutants with enforceable effluent limits under the WDR are therefore designated as POCs for
this Study. Table 2-2 presents these POCs and the corresponding most stringent effluent limitations
established by the WDR.

As detailed in Section 1.2.1, WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004 also defines design influent loading criteria of
224 mg/L BOD and 226 mg/L TSS, which correspond to 5,604 lbs/day and 5,655 lbs/day, respectively, at
the facility’s design flow of 3.0 MGD. These design concentrations provide the technical basis for
evaluating headworks loadings and will be applied in this Study to determine appropriate local limits for
the Domestic WWTF.
Similar to the Domestic WWTF, the Industrial WWTF is also regulated under WDR Order No. 98-131 with
a discharge limitation for EC, which may not exceed the weighted average EC of the source water plus 500
µmhos/cm. Based on 2024 monitoring of the City’s ten groundwater supply wells, the weighted average
EC of the source water was 281 µmhos/cm, resulting in an effluent EC limit of 781 µmhos/cm for both the
Domestic and Industrial WWTFs.
Unlike the Domestic WWTF, WDR Order No. 98-131 does not prescribe numeric effluent limitations for
BOD or TSS at the Industrial WWTF. Instead, design values identified in a 1995 Black & Veatch
Memorandum provide the most appropriate benchmarks for local limits development. These design
criteria specify maximum month daily average influent concentrations of 3,360 mg/L BOD and 760 mg/L
TSS. At the design flow of 1.3 MGD, these concentrations correspond to loadings of 20,760 lbs/day BOD
and 4,686 lbs/day TSS. Accordingly, this Study applies the maximum month daily average concentrations
for BOD and TSS, in conjunction with the facility’s design flow, to establish applicable local limits for the
Industrial WWTF.

2.4.

Other Reasons for POCs

In addition to pollutants identified by federal and state regulations, certain pollutants may be classified as
POCs due to their potential to impact wastewater treatment operations, environmental quality, or
regulatory compliance. The evaluation of these additional POCs ensures that the City of Sanger’s
wastewater treatment facilities can effectively manage both municipal and industrial discharges while
maintaining compliance with their respective WDRs and other applicable regulatory standards.
2.4.1. Water Quality Criteria
One key factor in determining POCs is water quality criteria. Effluent from the WWTF is discharged into
evaporation/percolation ponds, and any pollutants present in significant concentrations may affect
groundwater quality and environmental health. Pollutants with the potential to exceed water quality
objectives or contribute to groundwater contamination must be evaluated to determine whether they
require local limits.
2.4.2. Biosolids Land Application Criteria
Sludge and biosolids generated at the City of Sanger’s wastewater treatment facilities are managed in
compliance with applicable state and federal regulations to ensure safe handling, disposal, and protection
of public health and the environment. At the Domestic WWTF, sludge is periodically removed from
treatment units to maintain operational efficiency and is either disposed of at a permitted landfill, landapplied, or processed through other approved reuse methods. These activities are conducted in
accordance with WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004, Title 40 CFR Part 503, and relevant California regulations.
Management of sludge within the treatment and storage ponds is performed by a local grower, who
removes and land-applies the material on City-owned reclamation fields for beneficial reuse on a periodic
basis. The City does not perform or direct these activities but conducts mid-year inspections to evaluate
solids buildup and maintain compliance with operational requirements.
To maintain compliance, both WWTFs must prevent the discharge of industrial pollutants that could
compromise sludge quality or result in violations of applicable disposal regulations. The national standards
under 40 CFR Part 503 establish pollutant concentration limits, operational standards, management
practices, and requirements for sampling, recordkeeping, and reporting. These standards are designed to
mitigate risks to human health and the environment associated with biosolids use or disposal.
The State of California has adopted the federal 40 CFR Part 503 standards and imposes additional land
application restrictions under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. As such, pollutants regulated
under these frameworks are evaluated as POCs to ensure biosolids generated at the WWTFs remain
compliant with all applicable state and federal criteria for safe disposal or land application.
2.4.3. Interference and Inhibition Criteria
The EPA’s pretreatment regulations outlined in 40 CFR 403.5(a) require the prohibition of industrial
discharges that could cause interference at the WWTF’s. According to the EPA, interference occurs when
a discharge inhibits or disrupts the treatment process, resulting in a violation of the WWTF’s WDRs or
biosolids disposal requirements. To prevent such disruptions, the EPA recommends that pollutants with a
history of causing interference be classified as POCs.
Although some pollutants may not lead to effluent violations or biosolids disposal issues, they can still
negatively impact WWTF operations by disrupting biological treatment processes or affecting overall
7

Section 2 – Pollutants of Concern

system performance. The EPA Local Limits Development Guidance provides information on pollutants that
have inhibition concentrations for various treatment plant processes. Identifying and monitoring these
pollutants is essential to ensuring that influent characteristics remain within acceptable operational
thresholds, thereby preventing disruptions to treatment efficiency and regulatory compliance.
2.4.4. Protection of Treatment Works, Collection System, and Workers
Explosive and flammable pollutants pose a significant risk to the integrity of the sewer collection system
and the health and safety of WWTF workers. Under certain conditions, the accumulation of these
substances can lead to fires or explosions, endangering facility operations and personnel. If industrial
users are expected to discharge such pollutants, establishing local limits may be necessary to mitigate
these risks and ensure safe system operation.
In addition to combustion hazards, fume toxicity levels of specific pollutants can have severe health
implications for WWTF workers. Volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors are of particular concern, as
they may be toxic, carcinogenic, and capable of causing chronic health effects after prolonged or repeated
exposure. The EPA’s Local Limits Development Guidance outlines concentration thresholds for hazardous
airborne contaminants based on standards set by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), and American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). If industrial discharges contain these pollutants at levels that
could endanger workers, local limits may be required to protect both worker safety and treatment facility
operations.

Section 3 – Development of Local Discharge Limits

SECTION 3 - DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL DISCHARGE LIMITS
After identifying POCs for the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs (Tables 2-1 and 2-2) and compiling
necessary sampling data, local discharge limits can be established for each facility. For pollutants directly
regulated by the applicable WDRs, including BOD, TSS, and EC, local limits are based on the facility’s design
capacity and effluent limitations specified in the WDRs. For pollutants without defined facility-specific
design values, local limits are developed in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
Local Limits Development Guidance, ensuring consistent protection of treatment capacity, effluent
quality, and receiving environments.

Evaluation of WDR-Based Local Limits

The following section evaluates the local limits for the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs that are specifically
derived from their WDRs, focusing on BOD, TSS, and EC as the key regulated parameters.
3.1.1. Domestic WWTF Local Limit Development
For the Domestic WWTF, the local limits for BOD, TSS, and EC were derived directly from the design criteria
established in WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004. Table 3-1 presents the evaluation of current values using
2024 influent monitoring data, domestic sampling data collected from lift stations, and the average daily
flow contributed by industrial users discharging to the facility. These calculations provide a breakdown of
pollutant contributions between domestic and industrial sources.

At the average influent flow of 1.80 MGD, the WWTF received wastewater with an average BOD
concentration of 243 mg/L, a TSS concentration of 272 mg/L, and an EC of 777 µmhos/cm in 2024. While
the City’s Domestic WWTF primarily treats wastewater from residential and commercial sources, the
facility also receives flows from four permitted industrial users. According to the City, the combined
average daily discharge from these industries is 0.089 MGD. Subtracting this amount from the total
influent flow yields a domestic flow of 1.71 MGD.
To characterize domestic contributions, the City collected composite samples at two lift stations that do
not receive any industrial flows. The average concentrations from those sampling locations, shown in
Table 3-1, represent the domestic influent values used in this evaluation. Industrial contributions for BOD,
TSS, and EC were then calculated by subtracting the domestic influent loadings (expressed in lbs/day)
from the total WWTF influent loadings. This approach provides an estimate of the pollutant loadings
attributable to industrial discharges, ensuring that the resulting local limits reflect both actual operating
conditions and the design basis of the facility.

Section 3 – Development of Local Discharge Limits

The Domestic WWTF is designed to treat an average daily flow of 3.0 MGD with design influent
concentrations of 224 mg/L BOD, 226 mg/L TSS, and 781 µmhos/cm EC. At 3.0 MGD, these concentrations
correspond to design loadings of 5,604 lbs/day BOD, 5,655 lbs/day TSS, and 19,533 lbs/day EC. Given that
the current domestic flow is approximately 1.71 MGD, the City projects domestic flows will increase by
about 35 percent, reaching approximately 2.63 MGD at buildout. The remaining portion of the 3.0 MGD
design flow, approximately 0.37 MGD, is therefore allocated to industrial users.
Table 3-2 presents the corresponding design loadings for BOD, TSS, and EC, along with the estimated
division of capacity between residential and industrial sources.

Industrial Loading values represent the remaining portion of the total WWTF design loading,
determined as the difference between the WWTF Total Loading and the Residential Loading.
Using the estimated design flow rate and loadings allocated to industrial users determined in Table 3-2,
the appropriate local limits for BOD, TSS, and EC at the Domestic WWTF can now be established. Table 33 presents the proposed industrial local limits and the corresponding spare design capacity. Spare capacity
represents the remaining industrial loading available after applying the proposed limits and was calculated
by subtracting the proposed industrial loading (expressed in lbs/day at 0.089 MGD) from the total
industrial allocation defined by the facility’s design capacity. For example, the Domestic WWTF is designed
to accommodate 1,111 lbs/day of industrial BOD. At the proposed local limit of 500 mg/L and an industrial
flow of 0.089 MGD, existing users would contribute approximately 370 lbs/day, leaving 741 lbs/day
unused capacity. This margin ensures that the facility can absorb fluctuations in industrial loading and still
remain within design specifications. The same calculation was applied to TSS and EC, yielding spare
capacities of 711 lbs/day and 2,916 lbs/day, at the proposed limit of 500 mg/L and 1,000 µmhos/cm,
respectively.

In addition to pollutant-specific spare capacity, the proposed limits allow the City to accept approximately
0.170 MGD of additional industrial flow, nearly double the current industrial contribution of 0.089 MGD.
This demonstrates that the proposed limits not only protect the WWTF’s treatment performance and
compliance with WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004 but also preserves sufficient capacity to accommodate
reasonable future industrial growth.
The proposed local limits are ultimately consistent with the WWTF’s WDRs and design capacity, keeping
industrial discharges within the established treatment and disposal capabilities of the Domestic WWTF.
The concentrations proposed for BOD, TSS, and EC are achievable for industrial users, while also providing
a conservative margin that protects the facility’s biological treatment processes, compliance with effluent
limitations, and long-term operational reliability. In addition, maintaining a substantial portion of the
industrial allocation as spare design capacity preserves flexibility for existing and future industrial
contributors and reduces the risk of noncompliance. Together, these factors ensure that the proposed
limits balance operational protection, regulatory requirements, and equitable allocation of treatment
capacity between residential and industrial users.
3.1.2. Industrial WWTF Local Limit Development
For the Industrial WWTF, design criteria for BOD, TSS, and EC are derived from WDR Order No. 98-131
and the 1995 Black & Veatch design memorandum, which establishes the governing design flow and
loading capacities used in developing proposed local limits. The facility is designed to treat an average
daily flow of 1.3 MGD. According to records from 2021 to 2024, the WWTF received an average influent
flow of 0.842 MGD, while the 30-day maximum daily average reached approximately 1.07 MGD. In 2024,
the 30-day maximum daily average was 0.993 MGD. Wastewater discharges from Pitman Farms are
relatively consistent, while discharges from Gibson Winery are seasonal and vary with production cycles.
Accordingly, the evaluation of proposed local limits is based on the 30-day maximum daily average rather
than the overall average daily flow.
Table 3-4 summarizes influent monitoring data for the Industrial WWTF during 2024. At a 30-day
maximum daily average flow of 0.993 MGD, wastewater received from Pitman Farms and Gibson Winery
contained an average BOD concentration of 1,160 mg/L, equivalent to 9,606 lbs/day. TSS average 477
mg/L, or 3,951 lbs/day, while EC average 1,015 µmhos/cm, corresponding to 8,403 lbs/day. These values
establish the WWTF’s current operating conditions and provide the basis for comparison with the facility’s
design capacity.

As previously stated, WDR Order No. 98-131 does not prescribe numeric effluent limitations for BOD or
TSS. Instead, design values from the 1995 Black & Veatch memorandum establish maximum month daily
average concentrations of 3,360 mg/L BOD₅ and 760 mg/L TSS, equivalent to 36,429 lbs/day and 8,240
lbs/day, respectively, at the design flow of 1.3 MGD. For EC, WDR Order No. 98-131 specifies that influent
shall not exceed the weighted average EC of the source water plus 500 µmhos/cm. Based on groundwater
monitoring of the City’s supply wells, this requirement translates to an influent EC limit of 781 µmhos/cm,
or 8,468 lbs/day.
Table 3-5 compares these design flow and loading capacities with actual influent monitoring data
collected in 2024. The difference between the design allocation and observed loadings defines the
available spare capacity for each pollutant. Results show substantial reserves for BOD (26,823 lbs/day)
and TSS (4,289 lbs/day), but a minimal margin for EC (64 lbs/day). This comparison demonstrates that
while the facility can accommodate additional organic and solids loadings, EC is operating near its design
threshold and therefore requires more careful management in establishing local limits.

As shown, the proposed limits preserve substantial spare capacity for BOD (25,587 lbs/day) and TSS (1,735
lbs/day), ensuring that the facility can continue to accommodate increases in organic and solids loadings
without exceeding design parameters. However, the margin for EC is more limited (878 lbs/day),
highlighting the need for careful monitoring and management of salinity to maintain compliance with
WDR Order No. 98-131 In terms of flow, the most restrictive spare capacity is associated with EC, which
allows for an additional 0.15 MGD of industrial discharge. This value represents the maximum additional
flow the facility can reliably accept without surpassing its design allocation for EC. Collectively, these
proposed limits align with the facility’s design criteria and protect treatment performance.

3.2.

Evaluation of Local Limits Using EPA Guidance

While the previous section focused on pollutants regulated under the Domestic and Industrial WWTF’s
WDRs, this approach does not address all pollutants that may impair treatment plant operations, biosolids
quality, or affect downstream water quality. To establish comprehensive and defensible local limits, this
Study also applies the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Local Limits Development Guidance.
Under this methodology, treatment plant removal efficiencies are quantified and evaluated alongside
factors such as water quality standards, biosolids disposal requirements, and process inhibition
thresholds. These evaluations are used to calculate Maximum Allowable Headworks Loadings (MAHLs),
which represent the maximum pollutant loading that can be introduced to a WWTF without causing passthrough, interference, or violations of applicable regulatory standards. The following procedures are used
to establish MAHLs for each POC at the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs:
1. Determine the WWTF-specific removal efficiencies for each POC, based on representative influent
and effluent data;
2. Calculate the Allowable Headworks Loadings (AHLs) using environmental criteria applicable to
each facility, such as Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs), water quality standards, biosolids
disposal limits, and biological inhibition thresholds;
3. Identify the MAHL as the lowest (most conservative) of the calculated AHLs to ensure adequate
protection of treatment processes, receiving waters, sludge management practices, and worker
safety.
This section presents the application of the EPA guidance to the City’s Domestic and Industrial WWTFs.
The results provide the technical foundation for determining whether additional local limits are warranted
beyond those imposed by WDRs and ensure that industrial discharges are protective of public health,
water quality, and the long-term operational integrity of the City’s treatment facilities.

Section 3 – Development of Local Discharge Limits

3.2.1. WWTF Removal Efficiencies
At both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs, POCs are monitored to evaluate treatment performance and
demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. At the Industrial WWTF, monitoring focuses on
EC and BOD because of their significance to salinity management and organic loading strength. At the
Domestic WWTF, monitoring also includes TSS, as required by the facility’s WDRs. As discussed in Section
3.1, BOD, TSS, and EC have already been evaluated under applicable WDRs and the facility’s design
capacity and are not reassessed here under the EPA methodology.
At the Domestic WWTF, ammonia is also a POC that is routinely monitored, and sufficient site-specific
data are available to calculate removal efficiency. However, aside from ammonia, the City does not collect
paired influent and effluent data for the other POCs identified in Table 2-1. In these cases, pollutant
removal efficiencies were assigned using the default values provided in Appendix R of the U.S. EPA’s Local
Limits Development Guidance. These default values represent typical removal rates for activated sludge
systems and are widely recognized as appropriate for developing technically defensible local limits.
By incorporating both site-specific data where available and EPA-recommended default values where data
are lacking, the City can calculate MAHLs for each POC in a manner consistent with federal guidance, while
ensuring protection of treatment processes, biosolids quality, and receiving water standards. Table 3-7
summarizes the pollutant removal efficiencies applied for both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs.

For the Industrial WWTF, no effluent data results available to

3.2.2. Allowable Headworks Loadings
After quantifying pollutant removal efficiencies for the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs, the next step in
the local limits development process is to calculate AHLs. AHLs represent the maximum pollutant loadings
that can be introduced to a treatment facility without causing pass-through, interference, or violations of
applicable environmental criteria. These criteria include state and federal water quality standards, sludge
disposal limitations, and biological process inhibition thresholds. By evaluating AHLs for POC, the City can
determine the level of influent loading that each facility can reliably accept while ensuring protection of
groundwater quality, biosolids management, and treatment system performance. The following
subsections present the calculated AHLs for both facilities, categorized by water quality, sludge disposal,
and inhibition-based criteria.
3.2.2.1. Water Quality Standard
For POCs without enforceable permit limits, the U.S. EPA’s Local Limits Development Guidance
recommends calculating AHLs using state or federal water quality standards. These standards may be
based on aquatic life protection criteria for both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) exposure, or
on human health protection criteria such as drinking water consumption, recreational use, or fish
ingestion.
Although the WDRs for both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs do not authorize surface water
discharges, they require that all discharges remain protective of underlying groundwater basin, as this
groundwater is designated for municipal and domestic supply, agricultural supply, and industrial service
supply. Accordingly, in developing local limits, the water quality standards applied must be consistent with
these designated beneficial uses. For POCs with applicable water quality criteria, AHLs are calculated using
the methodology presented in Equation 1.
Equation 1 – AHL based on Water Quality limits:

AHL𝑊𝑄 =

(8.34)[(𝐶𝑊𝑄 ) ∗ (𝑄𝑆𝑇𝑅+ 𝑄𝑊𝑊𝑇𝐹 ) − (𝐶𝑆𝑇𝑅 ∗ 𝑄𝑆𝑇𝑅 )]

According to WDR Order No. 98-131, biosolids generated at the Industrial WWTF are to be managed onsite. Sludge that accumulates in the treatment and storage ponds is removed at the discretion of a local
grower and land-applied for agricultural purposes on City-owned reclamation fields, consistent with Title
27 of the California Code of Regulations and with the Regional Water Quality Control Board approval. The
City does not oversee sludge removal or application activities but conducts mid-year monitoring to assess
solids accumulation levels.
At the Domestic WWTF, as specified in WDR Order No. R5-2014-0004, biosolids are managed through a
mechanical dewatering process. Sludge is thickened and dewatered using a centrifuge, then further dried
in 14 lined, paved drying beds equipped with underdrains. The underdrains return collected decant to the
treatment process for additional treatment. Once dried, biosolids are temporarily stored in a holding bin
prior to being hauled offsite for land application at a permitted facility, while screenings and grit from the
headworks are transported to a local landfill. Under current operations, solids removed from the Industrial
WWTF primary clarifier are conveyed to the Domestic WWTF drying beds for dewatering, while settled
solids within the Industrial treatment and storage ponds are managed separately by a local grower for
land application on City-owned reclamation fields.
Federal regulations for sludge disposal (40 CFR Part 503) continue to apply, establishing limits on metals
and other pollutants that may be present in biosolids due to industrial contributions. For local limits
development, these regulatory thresholds are translated into AHLs for POCs using Equation 2, which is
based on Equation 5.9 from the EPA’s 2004 Local Limits Development Guidance manual. This ensures that
the combined biosolids generated by both WWTFs remain suitable for land application and compliant
with all applicable state and federal requirements.
Equation 2 – AHL based on Sludge Land Application and Surface Disposal:

AHL𝑆𝐿𝐷𝐺 =

(0.0022)(𝐶𝐵𝑆𝑂𝐿 )(𝑄𝐵𝑆𝑂𝐿 )
𝑅𝑊𝑊𝑇𝑃

Where:
AHLSLDG = AHL based on sludge, lb/day
C BSOL = Biosolids limitation, mg/kg dry sludge
Q BSOL = Total sludge flow to disposal, dry metric tons per day
RWWTF = Plant removal efficiency, as decimal

Section 3 – Development of Local Discharge Limits

GSLDG = Specific gravity of sludge, kg/L
0.0022 = Conversion factor
For Equation 2, QBSOL represents the total sludge flow to disposal in dry metric tons per day. In this study,
QBSOL is estimated from the daily BOD removed at each facility and then converted to dry metric tons per
day. The formula for estimating BOD removal is based on calculating the difference between the influent
and effluent organic loads entering and leaving the treatment facility. First, the influent and effluent BOD
concentrations, measured in milligrams per liter, are converted to mass loadings in pounds per day using
the standard conversion factor of 8.34, multiplied by the plant flow in MGD. The amount of BOD removed
is then determined by subtracting the effluent load from the influent load, with the result representing
the daily mass of BOD reduced through treatment. To translate this value into an estimate of sludge
production, the pounds of BOD removed are converted to dry metric tons per day by dividing by 2,204.62.

flow data, which provided more reliable results.

3.2.2.2. Inhibition Based AHLs
Elevated concentrations of specific pollutants in wastewater or sludge can adversely impact the
performance of biological treatment processes typically employed at wastewater treatment facilities.
Both the Industrial and Domestic WWTFs rely on activated sludge systems that are particularly sensitive
to inhibitory substances. Although there have been no documented operational upsets at either facility
attributed to inhibitory pollutants, the potential for such impacts warrants a conservative approach.
Therefore, inhibition-based AHLs are calculated as a preventive measure to safeguard treatment
performance.
In accordance with the U.S. EPA’s Local Limits Development Guidance, inhibition threshold values are used
in estimating AHLs for pollutants of concern. These values are derived from literature-based inhibition
concentrations and are applied using Equation 3 from the EPA guidance. The calculations incorporate
relevant removal efficiencies and site-specific influent data. The corresponding threshold values are
included in Appendix G of the EPA guidance. By incorporating inhibition-based AHLs, the City ensures that
local limits remain technically defensible and protective of both facilities’ biological treatment systems.
Equation 3 – AHL based on Activated Sludge Inhibition Values:

AHL𝐴𝐶𝑇 =

The MAHL for each POC is defined as the most conservative, or lowest, value among the calculated AHLs
derived from applicable environmental and treatment-based criteria. These criteria include water quality
standards, sludge disposal regulations, and process inhibition thresholds. By maintaining influent loadings
below the MAHL, the treatment facilities can ensure compliance with all relevant regulatory and
operational requirements. Table 3-18 summarizes the AHLs evaluated for each POC and identifies the
corresponding MAHL selected for the Industrial WWTF.

3.2.4. Designating Local Limits
Following the calculation of the MAHLs for each POC, the next step is to identify which POCs require the
development of local limits. In accordance with the EPA’s Local Limits Development Guidance, local limits
should be established for any POC where the average influent loading exceeds 60% of its respective MAHL.
Tables 3-20 and 3-21 present comparisons of the calculated MAHLs and the average influent loadings for
each POC at the Industrial and Domestic WWTFs, respectively. Pollutants exceeding the 60% threshold
are flagged for further evaluation and the development of site-specific local limits to ensure compliance
and protect treatment processes.

3.2.5. Background Loadings for Non-Industrial Sources
An essential component of the local limits development process is the quantification of background
pollutant loadings from non-industrial sources. In accordance with the U.S. EPA’s Local Limits
Development Guidance, these background contributions, typically originating from residential,
commercial, and other uncontrolled sources, must be accurately characterized and deducted from the
treatment facility’s capacity to ensure that allowable loadings allocated to industrial users do not cause
pass-through, interference, or violations of applicable discharge requirements.
At the City of Sanger, Domestic WWTF receives influent wastewater from a combination of residential,
commercial, and four permitted industrial users: Initiative Foods, International Paper, and Pitman Family
Hatchery, and GBI USA Co. In contrast, the Industrial WWTF exclusively receives flow from two SIUs and
does not accept contributions from residential or commercial users. The Industrial WWTF does not receive
hauled waste, and due to the facility’s separately design, the potential for inflow and infiltration is
minimal. As a result, there are no uncontrolled sources contributing to the Industrial WWTF, and the full
MAHL for each pollutant is available for allocation to the permitted industrial users, subject to applicable
safety factors and growth allowances as specified in EPA guidance. Uncontrolled background loadings are
only applicable to the Domestic WWTF.
To estimate non-industrial contributions, the City conducted sampling at seven lift stations that primarily
collect flow from residential and commercial areas. While GBI USA Co. discharges to the City’s
Academy/Commerce lift station the other industrial users connect directly to the sewer lines feeding the
Domestic WWTF, minimizing overlap. Sampling data from the five lift stations that do not receive any
industrial discharges, provided in Appendix A, were used to characterize pollutant concentrations from
non-industrial sources. The mass loadings from these sources were calculated using Equation 4 from EPA
guidance.
Equation 4 – Residential and Background Loading Calculation
𝐿𝑈𝑁𝐶 = (𝐶𝑈𝑁𝐶 ) (𝑄𝑈𝑁𝐶 )(8.34)

Page 153

Page 154 of 179

City of Sanger

Section 3 – Development of Local Discharge Limits

Where:
LUNC = Uncontrolled loading, lb/day
CUNC = Uncontrolled pollutant concentration, mg/L
QUNC = Uncontrolled flow rate, MGD
8.34 = Conversion factor
The uncontrolled flow rate (QUNC) was determined by subtracting the total industrial flow (0.089 MGD)
from the average daily influent flow to the Domestic WWTF (1.80 MGD) for 2024, resulting in a
background flow of 1.71 MGD. Pollutant concentrations (CUNC) were derived from the lift station sampling
data, and the calculated loadings (LUNC) are summarized in Table 3-22. This background loading analysis
ensures that local limits developed for the Domestic WWTF accurately reflect the capacity available for
industrial discharges, consistent with EPA methodology and the City’s treatment system design.

3.2.6. Maximum Allowable Industrial Loadings
The Maximum Allowable Industrial Loading (MAIL) represents the portion of a pollutant’s headworks
loading capacity that may be allocated to industrial sources without exceeding the treatment facility’s
operational or regulatory thresholds. For both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs, MAIL values are
derived by subtracting background loadings from non-industrial sources and applying a safety factor to
account for variability and uncertainty. MAIL values are calculated using Equation 5 from the U.S. EPA’s
Local Limits Development Guidance.
Equation 5 – MAIL Calculation

Section 3 – Development of Local Discharge Limits

𝑀𝐴𝐼𝐿 = 𝑀𝐴𝐻𝐿(1 − 𝑆𝐹) − (𝐿𝑈𝑁𝐶 + 𝐻𝑊 + 𝐺𝐴)
Where:
MAIL = Maximum allowable industrial loading, lb/day
MAHL = Maximum allowable headworks loading, lb/day
SF = Safety factor, decimal
LUNC = Loadings from uncontrolled sources, lb/day
HW = Loadings from hauled waste, if not regulated through the local limits, lb/day
GA = Growth allowance, lb/day
3.2.6.1. Safety Factor and Growth Allowances
To account for variability and uncertainty in the data used to develop MAHLs, a safety factor is applied
when calculating the MAILs. In accordance with EPA’s Local Limits Development Guidance, a minimum 10
percent safety factor has been applied uniformly across all pollutants of concern. This conservative
approach helps protect each facility from fluctuations in industrial discharge characteristics and ensures
continued compliance with effluent and sludge quality objectives.
A growth allowance is an optional portion of the MAHL that may be reserved to accommodate future
increases in pollutant loadings resulting from industrial expansion. However, the City of Sanger is not
currently aware of any major industrial growth or expansion that would affect the Industrial or Domestic
WWTF’s influent characteristics. As such, no growth allowance has been included in this evaluation.
3.2.6.2. Industrial WWTF MAIL Evaluation
The Industrial WWTF currently only receives wastewater from two SIUs: Pitman Farms and Gibson Winery.
Because the facility does not receive residential, commercial, or hauled waste contributions, background
loading is considered negligible (LUNC = 0). Therefore, the full MAHL, adjusted for the 10% safety factor, is
available for allocation to the permitted SIUs, as shown in Table 3-23 below.

3.2.6.3. Domestic WWTF MAIL Evaluation
At the Domestic WWTF, influent flows are derived from a mix of residential, commercial, and small-scale
industrial sources. As a result, background loadings from uncontrolled (non-industrial) contributors (LUNC)
must be deducted from the facility’s overall loading capacity before determining the allowable loadings
for the industrial users. Applying the same assumptions used for the Industrial WWTF, a 10 percent safety
factor and zero growth allowance, the MAILs for the Domestic WWTF were calculated using Equation 6.
These values reflect the portion of the capacity available for industrial dischargers after accounting for
non-industrial contributions. Table 3-24 presents the resulting MAILs for each pollutant of concern.

3.2.7. Local Limits Allocation
After calculating the MAIL for each POC, the next step in the local limits development process is to allocate
these loadings among permitted industrial dischargers. The allocation approach must ensure equitable
distribution of pollutant loadings while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and
protecting the integrity of the wastewater treatment systems. Two primary methods are recognized by
the EPA for allocating MAILs:
1. Uniform Allocation Method – Assigns a single, concentration-based local limit to all permitted
SIUs, regardless of their individual flow or pollutant contribution.
2. Industrial User-Specific Allocation Method – Distributes the MAILs proportionally based on each
SIU’s flow volume or pollutant load contribution.
The selection of the allocation method depends on the number and characteristics of industrial users,
variability of discharges, administrative feasibility, and system configuration.
3.2.8. Industrial WWTF – Evaluation of Local Limits
The two SIUs that discharge wastewater to the City’s Industrial WWTF exhibit similar influent
characteristics and pollutant profiles. Given this limited and uniform user base, the Uniform Allocation
Method is appropriate and consistent with U.S. EPA guidance.
The Uniform Allocation Method assigns a single concentration-based local limit to all permitted industrial
users. This approach is consistent with U.S. EPA guidance and is appropriate when users have similar
pollutant profiles. Under the uniform method, the MAIL for each pollutant is converted into a single
concentration-based local limit applicable to all SIUs. This limit is calculated using Equation 6.
Equation 6 – Uniform Allocation Calculation
𝐶𝐿𝐼𝑀 =

𝑀𝐴𝐼𝐿
(𝑄𝑆𝐼𝑈 × 8.34)

Where:
CLIM = Uniform concentration limit, mg/L
MAIL = Maximum allowable industrial loading, lb/day
MAHL = Maximum allowable headworks loading, lb/day
QSIU = Total flow rate from SIUs, MGD
8.34 = Conversion factor

For the Domestic WWTF, the uniform allocation method described in Equation 6 was used to derive
pollutant-specific local limits presented in Table 3-26. This approach distributes the MAIL evenly across
the industrial flow to Domestic WWTF, which is approximately 0.089 MGD. The resulting concentrationbased limits (CLIM) represent the maximum allowable discharge strength for each pollutant of concern to
ensure compliance with the applicable MAHLs and continued protection of treatment performance and
disposal operations.

Section 4 – Proposed Local Limits

SECTION 4 - PROPOSED LOCAL LIMITS
After evaluating pollutant loadings at both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs using facility design
criteria, applicable WDRs, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Local Limits Development
Guidance, this section consolidates those findings into a set of proposed local discharge limits for the City
of Sanger. The proposed limits intend to protect facility performance, ensure regulatory compliance, and
provide an equitable allocation of capacity between residential and industrial users. Through the
implementation of these limits, the City will maintain discharges within each facility’s treatment
capabilities, safeguard effluent and biosolids quality, and preserve sufficient capacity to accommodate
future growth. The following subsections present a comparison of existing and proposed limits and outline
the recommended actions for implementation.

4.1.

Comparison of Existing and Proposed Limits

Table 4-1 presents a comparison of the City’s existing and proposed local limits for both the Industrial and
Domestic WWTFs. It identifies the POCs that warrant enforceable limits and specifies how those limits
must be adjusted to ensure continued regulatory compliance and protection of treatment processes.
In addition to the local limits evaluated in Section 3, the City should establish local limits for both pH and
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) to ensure continued protection of the treatment facilities and collection
system. A pH range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units is recommended for both facilities to ensure optimal
biological treatment performance and prevent structural deterioration. In no case shall wastewater with
a pH lower than 5.0 be accepted, as such wastes are corrosive and can cause severe damage to concrete,
metal, and mechanical components throughout both treatment facilities. Establishing this range will
provide adequate protection against both corrosion and chemical scaling, ensuring long-term structural
and operational reliability.
Similarly, a local limit for FOG is recommended to minimize the potential for blockages, pond surface scum
accumulation, and operational interference within the aerated and storage ponds. Excessive FOG can
reduce oxygen transfer efficiency and contribute to premature solids buildup. Based on EPA’s Local Limits
Development Guidance and standard industry practices for lagoon-based treatment systems, a
concentration-based limit of 100 mg/L is recommended. This value is consistent with 40 CFR 403.5(b)(3),
which prohibits discharges capable of causing obstruction to flow in the POTW, and provides a technically
defensible threshold for maintaining reliable treatment performance and infrastructure protection.

Recommended Action and Conclusion

Based on the evaluation of pollutant loadings at both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs, the proposed
local limits summarized in this Study represent the most appropriate limits for implementation by the City
of Sanger. Adoption of these limits will ensure that discharges from industrial users do not interfere with
treatment processes, compromise effluent or biosolids quality, exceed design capacity, or cause violations
of the City’s WDRs. The recommended limits also provide a fair and equitable allocation of treatment
capacity between residential and industrial users, while preserving sufficient capacity to accommodate
reasonable future growth.
It is recommended that the City proceed with the adoption and implementation of the proposed required
local limits presented in Table 4-1 for both the Domestic and Industrial WWTFs and incorporate them into
the City’s Industrial Pretreatment Program and Municipal Code. These enforceable limits will provide the
regulatory basis for managing industrial discharges, issuing permits, and taking corrective actions where
necessary to protect the City’s treatment infrastructure and water resources. Implementation of these
local limits will enable the City of Sanger to maintain compliance with federal and state pretreatment
regulations, uphold water quality protections, and continue providing reliable wastewater treatment
service to the community.

the City of Sanger’s Sphere of Influence.
At its meeting of October 16, 2025, the City Council issued final approvals, including initiation of
annexation, for the subdivision known as Tentative Tract 6493, being developed by Lennar Homes
of California (Lennar). One of the conditions of approval of that project is to acquire and construct
(at least initially) the master-planned storm drainage basin facility for the Southwest Drainage Area,
as defined by the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan (“Basin Condition”). The location of this regional
basin facility has been planned for almost a quarter of a century and was defined as early as 2003
with the 2025 General Plan and was also included with the City’s current 2035 General Plan. This
regional stormwater drain facility is anticipated to serve a 450-acre area, including Phase 1 of the
Lennar development, which is approximately 40 acres. See Attachment 1 for the adopted Land Use
Map where the basin area is highlighted and see Attachment 2 for aerial and street views of the
project area.
The property of the location of the proposed regional stormwater drain facility is owned by
Choolijian Farms (“Choolijian”). The City Council previously authorized an agreement to transfer
title of the property to the City.
As previously flagged for the Council, the property for the regional stormwater drain facility is
currently outside of City limits, but within the City’s sphere of influence. As a result, this property
will need to be pre-zoned and annexed into the City. Additionally, the California Government Code
requires a finding of General Plan conformity and review for the same by the Planning Commission,
and a CEQA assessment for the project as may be appropriate.
This staff report addresses the required pre-zoning and initiation of annexation proceedings with the
Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (Fresno LAFCO) to allow implementation of storm
drainage facilities and to ensure consistency with the City’s 2035 General Plan and zoning
regulations upon annexation.
INITIATION OF ANNEXATION:
The basin property is located outside of City limits, consisting of approximately 11.42 acres generally
located on the south side of North Avenue between Indianola and Bethel Avenues (APN 332-080-40). Per
the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and County, specific procedures must be taken to in
order to change jurisdiction of property from County to City. The Fresno Local Agency Formation
Commission (Fresno LAFCO) is the authority in decisions on change of organization boundaries (City
Limits), including annexations. Planning Commission recommended initiation to City Council at a public
hearing held on January 29, 2026. The first step in this process is initiation of annexation by the City via
resolution directing staff to proceed with application to Fresno LAFCO.
GENERAL PLAN CONFORMITY:
California Government Code Section 65402 requires that the City cannot acquire real property for public
purposes until the matter has been submitted to the Planning Commission for a report as to conformity with
the adopted General Plan. This matter was considered by the Planning Commission at its meeting on
November 10, 2025, and the Planning Commission found that the proposed regional stormwater drain
facility on the Choolijian property was consistent with the City’s adopted 2035 General Plan.
As stated earlier, Attachment 1 shows the Land Use Map from the adopted 2035 General Plan and
depicts a “Storm Drain Facility” within the Choolijian property. Attachment 3 shows the planned
location of the actual basin, which aligns more or less with the existing topography of the site,
which can be seen in the street and aerial views in Attachment 2. The low-lying topography, as
Page 165
01484.0005 2092427.1

Page 166 of 179

well as the location relative to the 450-acres being served by the proposed basin, were part of the
initial site determination for the facility. As a result, the proposed location is in substantial
conformance to the 2035 General Plan.
ZONING ORDINANCE CONFORMITY:
The subject property is outside of the city limits. Therefore, prezoning is required to match the
General Plan Land Use. The subject property will go from County of Fresno: AE-20 (Exclusive
Agricultural) to City of Sanger RSC (Recreation, Schools and Conservation) zone district. The
RSC zone district is consistent with the 2035 General Plan designation of Storm Drain Facility.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Staff have evaluated the proposed project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15183, which
allows streamlined environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density and
policies of an adopted General Plan for which an EIR has been certified.
Based on staff review of the 2035 General Plan and the certified General Plan EIR, the proposed storm
drain basin project is proposed to be found to be consistent with the General Plan and within the scope of
the impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR, for the following reasons:
1. The project is consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community
plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.
• The project site is designated “Storm Drain Facility” under the 2035 General Plan. Storm
drainage basins and related public utility infrastructure are allowed uses within this
designation.
2. There are no project specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.
• The proposed storm drain basin directly implements these policies and does not conflict with
any General Plan objectives.
• There are no unique features or other unusual conditions of the property that would give rise
to specific effect peculiar to the site; this is a property of a type generally found throughout
the 2035 General Plan planning area and common to the area.
3. There are no project specific impacts which the EIR for the General Plan failed to analyze as
significant effects.
• The project is within the development intensity and infrastructure assumptions considered
in the EIR.
4. There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts which the GPU EIR failed to
evaluate. There is no substantial new information which results in more severe impacts than
anticipated by the EIR for the General Plan Update.
• There are no substantial changes to the project, circumstances, or regulatory environment
that would trigger the need for a subsequent or supplemental EIR. The project qualifies for
reliance on the General Plan EIR under CEQA Guidelines §15183, and preparation of
additional CEQA documents is not required.
As a result, no further analysis is required by CEQA, and the City Council may adopt an exemption for this
project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The property has been planned for a regional storm drain facility for decades and is designated as such in
01484.0005 2092427.1

Page 166

Page 167 of 179

the 2035 General Plan. The acquisition and construction of the basin is a condition of approval of Tract
6493, which has been approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The basin will provide
a regional benefit and the acquisition of real property for this use will be in substantial conformance to the
2035 General Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to adopt the resolution. If so, staff requests the Council provide direction
on next steps.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:
The acquisition of the property is contingent upon close of escrow and transfer of the property to the City.
As part of the process, staff will submit the annexation resolution to Fresno LAFCO.

WHEREAS, the City Council now desires to approve Annexation 2026-01.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Sanger as
follows:
Section 1.

Recitals. The City Council hereby finds that all of the facts set forth in the recitals
above are true and correct and incorporated herein.

Section 2.

CEQA. The City Council finds the project is consistent with the 2035 General Plan,
and that all potentially significant impacts were addressed in the 2035 General Plan
EIR (SCH#2003011060). Specifically, the City Council finds the project consistent
with the General Plan and within the scope of the impacts analyzed in the General
Plan EIR, for reasons including the following:
1.
The project is consistent with the development density established by
existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was
certified. The project site is designated “Storm Drain Facility” under the 2035
General Plan. Storm drainage basins and related public utility infrastructure are
allowed uses within this designation.
2.
There are no project specific effects which are peculiar to the project or its
site. The proposed storm drain basin directly implements these policies and does
not conflict with any General Plan objectives. There are no unique features or other
unusual conditions of the property that would give rise to specific effect peculiar to
the site; this is a property of a type generally found throughout the 2035 General
Plan planning area and common to the area.
3.
There are no project specific impacts which the EIR for the General Plan
failed to analyze as significant effects. The project is within the development
intensity and infrastructure assumptions considered in the EIR.
4.
There are no potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts
which the GPU EIR failed to evaluate. There is no substantial new information
which results in more severe impacts than anticipated by the EIR for the General
Plan Update. There are no substantial changes to the project, circumstances, or
regulatory environment that would trigger the need for a subsequent or
supplemental EIR. The project qualifies for reliance on the General Plan EIR under
CEQA Guidelines §15183, and preparation of additional CEQA documents is not
required.
As a result, no further analysis is required by CEQA, and the City Council adopts
an exemption for this project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3

Page 169

Page 170 of 179

and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.
Section 3.

General Plan Consistency for ZOA 2026-01. The City Council finds that ZOA
2026-01 is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the 2035 General
Plan. In this regard, the City Council find that public necessity, convenience,
general welfare, and good zoning practices justify approval of ZOA 2026-01.
Specifically, the pre-zoning change is consistent with the 2035 General Plan goals
and policies, any operative plan, or adopted policy, and implements the planned
land uses in the Project area. The change is also consistent with the purpose of the
Development Code to promote the growth of the city in an orderly and sustainable
manner, and to promote and protect the public health, safety, peace, comfort, and
general welfare. The change is also necessary for good zoning practices to achieve
the balance of land uses desired by the City and to provide sites for needed
residential, parks, opens space, trails, and a recharge basin consistent with the 2035
General Plan

Section 4.

Initiation of Reorganization. The City Council adopts and approves this Resolution
of application, and initiates reorganization for the entire Affected Territory. The
Fresno Local Agency Formation Commission (Fresno LAFCO) is requested to
initiate proceedings for the change of organization of the territory described in
Exhibit “A” from the County of Fresno to the City of Sanger in the manner provided
by the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000,
including any associated districts such as the Fresno County Fire Protection
District, Fresno County Fire Protection District - Community Facilities District
Zone 2, Kings River Conservation District, and Consolidated Irrigation District.
The City Council directs the City Manager to take all necessary steps to submit a
complete application for the proposed reorganization, including preparation and
submittal of all Fresno LAFCO required forms, documents and studies and payment
of all required fees, at Applicant’s expense, in accordance with any applicable
agreement with the County of Fresno governing the same. The city anticipates that
this annexation maybe combined with the annexation of Tract 6493, when
submitted to Fresno LAFCO.

Section 5.

This Resolution shall become effective upon adoption of Zoning Ordinance
Amendment No. 2026-01.

with the 2035 General Plan.
