When the winter rains in Northern California fall on the redwood logs and lumber at Schmidtbauer Lumber<\/a>, tannins<\/strong> from the wood leach out <\/strong>and make the water collection pond look like coffee! The company faces hefty fines for discharging this water back into the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our rental <\/a>trailer #10 was being used to remove the tannins and making the water clear<\/strong> again and suitable for discharge. The pond is so good now, a family of ducks lives in it and it has some fish. When the rain stops in the summer, they don’t need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below I am standing in front of a 1800-year-old redwood slab. It started growing only 190 years after Jesus was born, and was cut down in 1943 (see historical timeline)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historical Timeline of the Fort Bragg Redwood Round Water treatment is a large part of what we do at Oxidation Technologies.
