RO Wastewater, prepping for stiffer regs when building a new sugar house.

[sugaringman85]

I am looking to build a new sugar house that will sustain my future expansion, FDA regulations, larger retail space, and so on. At the moment I don't have a budget hahaha. One big thing that we keep coming up with is what to do with our RO wastewater. Yes a lot of it is straight water, we are going to be within 100 yds of a major stream. The straight water probably can go into our regular drain system, into a "rain water catch basin". The big question is what should we do with our soap wash, acid wash, and rinse water?

Looking for ideas as my sugar house build actually develops a budget and plans are formed.

Thanks!!!
