Does anyone know if in Oregon an orchard/winery/cidery needs a septic system and/or special permit for "waste water"? The "waste" water, in my case, would only be the water left over from cleaning out barrels and spraying down the floor... nothing really different from if I was just running the farm as usual (just now I'm processing my fruit into alcoholic beverages instead of sending them to a store).
 
You could check with your states epa, and or health dept. in ohio the epa handles these permits as they are considered industrial discharges, visiting your states epa website may help you.
 
That doesn't answer about the legal question on documents / physical system requirements, if any, in Oregon for EFUs that produce alcoholic beverages from their crops.
