BEI is responsible for the contract operation and maintenance of the Rancho Larios wastewater treatment system and collection system including four lift stations. This subdivision, near San Juan Bautista, CA has a sequencing batch reactor followed by reclamation and disposal to both a public playfield and an irrigation disposal field. The treatment plant also has to be operated for nitrogen removal. The solid sludge byproduct from the SBR treatment process is bagged onsite and transported to a landfill as needed. The effluent quality from the sequencing batch reactor is critical to continued performance of the reclamation and irrigation systems. BEI operates this 40,000 gpd system under contract to Homeowners Association and is responsible for all monitoring reports to the Regional Water Quality Control Board and preparation and updating of O&M manuals, SSMP, and ESRP. The plant has met all discharge requirements on a consistent basis.
