Art,
I understand that Joel Shields is out on a medical emergency. I hope he is feeling better and can return soon.
I am not sure if you and Joel have discussed an issue wehave at the Maxton sprayfield. I would like to get some guidance on your groups
wishes concerning our flow metering.
When we installed Field J we put in a vault next to the compressor building and installed a flow meter on the force main for field J. But when
we installed. field H we tied into that force main in the middle of that force main with portions of Field J before and after the tie in. We then
installed a flow meter on the line leading to Field H. Therefore the only way to record the flow to Field J would be to get the overall flow from
the original meter and then subtract the flow going to field I.
Is there a way we can get this to work for the reporting requirements we have in our permit? Or must additional flow meters be installed on
various zones within Field J?
Thanks.

Talked to Hope and she gave me the skinny on how
H, I, & J are laid out. There are separate lines
running off the force for each field and pivot and
there is a flow meter on each pivot. There is no T or
flow meter to separate J from H. I sent her
Zimmermans email because she was confused too
about the loop that included I. She said she would
talk to Bruce and have Bruce call us after lunch to
clarify. I told her that DWQ would maek a
decision after we received all of the facts but each
field must have a acceptable way of tracking the
exact number of gallons that are applied and for
how many hours. Then the ORC still has to
calculate the amount of water spray irrigated in each
field zone. I guess we will wait to hear from Bruce
then make our decision.

Robert:
I am not as familiar with how your scenario fits into our reporting requirement format, and the specific root causes of the
problem. I will need to consult with Joel and Jim to get up to speed before responding. My first thought is if the subtraction
method is accurate, seems to me to be a viable method of obtaining the values for reporting. Let me discuss with my guys and
we will get back to you soon. Joel is back at work and in the field today, normal duty, thanks for inquiring.
