Document Description
The Spicer City Juice Processing Plant (Plant) is at 23145 Lerdo Highway between Buttonwillow and Lost Hills in Kern County. The Plant seasonally produces fruit juice concentrate from pomegranates. The proposed expansion would allow the Plant to process juice from other fruits and operate most of the year, increasing wastewater flows from under 0.1 million gallons per year to as much as 6.7 million gallons per year. The associated wastewater discharge would be to unlined ponds prior to reuse for irrigation of about 2,200 acres of crops.
