We have a sediment holding system and reuse all of our wash water and put
in drip lines back to crops growing all over the farm, including our
hoophouses. We have been inspected by state and federal agency's without
any problems. The wash water goes in a 1000 gal tank and pumped out of
this tank with a 12volt solar powered pump to a different drip line
every day, usually switch at noon until the tank is empty. We
use two rubber tanks for pre wash with sink drains in them for first
wash draining directly into my holding tank, then to the stainless steel
sinks for a final wash before packing for the cooler. The inspectors had
no comments on the reuse of our wash water after I showed them how it was put
back in the soil, under the black plastic through drip lines.
