Santa Barbara County’s wineries operate in a delicate coastal-agricultural region where wastewater must be managed carefully to protect groundwater, vineyard soils, and nearby waterways. Nviro provides engineered wastewater treatment systems designed for the unique needs of wineries throughout the Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria, and the surrounding AVAs.
From crush pad washdown to bottling line discharge, winery operations generate wastewater high in organics, sugars, and solids. Left untreated, this water can pollute sensitive land or violate discharge regulations enforced by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Region 3). Nviro helps wineries across Santa Barbara County treat, reuse, and responsibly manage their process water, whether you need a year-round system or seasonal support during harvest.
Packaged Treatment Systems
Compact, efficient solutions using MBRs, SBRs, aerated lagoons, or biological treatment designed for high-strenth winery effluent.
Water Reuse Systems
Designs that meet Title 22 reuse requirements, enabling irrigation, dust control, or washdown with treated water.
Modular & Scalable Systems
Systems that grow with your production. Flexible layouts for retrofits, expansions, or new builds.
In-House Fabrication & Controls
All equipment is built by Nviro’s team, mechanical skids, electrical panels, and automation controls for fast deployment and quality assurance.
Local Regulatory Support
We assist with permitting through the Central Coast RQQCB and can provide monitoring plans, reporting templates, and sampling services.
Whether your producing Rhône varietals in Los Olivos or Pino in Sta. Rita Hills, your treatment system should match your land, flows, and production rhythms. We design for season flow surges during harvest, land application on vineyards with varying soil conditions, groundwater-sensitive areas and coastal discharge zones, and storage, reuse, or haul-away strategies tailored to your operation.
Most wineries need a Waste Discharge Requirment (WDR) from the Central Coast Regional Water Board (Region 3). We help you determine if you qualify for a general order or require a site-specific permit.
Yes. With the right treatment and monitoring, treated effluent can be reused for irrigation or dust control. We design systems to meet the requirements of Title 22 when applicable.
We specialize in modular systems for remote sites with no sewer access. Our solutions are designed for energy efficiency, solar compatibility, and low operational burden.
