The production of wine from grapes is a multi-step process that uses significant amounts of water, about 1,100 gallons per ton of grapes, on average. Actual winery water usage can vary based on the water conservation practices in place at the production facility. In general, newer water conserving cleaning equipment developed in the 1980’s and 1990’s has reduced water consumption by about 20%. The result is a more concentrated waste stream. JD Services can pump, haul and dispose of your winery’s wastewater.

Do you need a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems or NPDES Permit?

Do you discharge pollutants from a point source to any body of water in the United States? If so, you need an NPDES permit.

The Clean Water Act (CWA), requires you to have an NPDES Permit. This program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. If you convey any of the following debris, such as rock, sand, dirt, agricultural, industrial, or municipal waste through any pipes or man-made ditches, into waters of the United States, you may be required to have an NPDES permit.

The NPDES Program is a federal program which has been delegated to the State of California for implementation through the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards), collectively Water Boards. In California, NPDES permits are also referred to as waste discharge requirements (WDRs) that regulate discharges to waters of the United States.
