R5-2008-0817, <br /> WESTERN FARM SERVICE, STOCKTON, 1905 BROADWAY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> In a 25 April 2008 transmittal, California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley <br /> Region (Regional Water Board) staff provided a draft Monitoring and Reporting Program <br /> (MRP) to Western Farm Service for its Stockton facility and a schedule for tasks to be <br /> conducted at this facility. Western Farm Service provided comments to the draft MRP and <br /> proposed revisions to the task schedule in its 30 May 2008 Memorandum, which was prepared <br /> by Geosyntec Consultants. As discussed below, Regional Water Board staff concur with the <br /> proposed schedule revisions and proposed changes to the MRP which have been <br /> incorporated into the attached Monitoring and Reporting Program No. R5-2008-0817. <br /> Monitoring and Reporting Program <br /> Western Farm Service provided the following comments and proposed these changes to the <br /> draft MRP. <br /> Comments 1 and 2. These refer to the repair of the pond cap and work plan delivery <br /> schedule and are addressed in the Revised Task Schedule secticri of this letter. <br /> Comment 3. In its 25 April review of the 31 October 2007 Annual Groundwater <br /> Monitoring Report (Annual Report), Regional Water Board staff observed that the compound <br /> bromacil is no longer included in the carbamate/urea analytical suite and requested that when <br /> the MRP is revised, Western Farm Service will specifically analyze for bromacil in wells where <br /> it has been previously detected. Western Farm Service suggests refining the request to <br /> require that bromacil be analyzed in these specific wells (MW-2, MW-3, MW-6, MW-14A and <br /> E-1) when Western Farm Service proposes removing the carbamate/urea suite of compounds <br /> from the MRP. Regional Water Board staffs intent is to obtain an analysis for bromacil from <br /> these wells in the future. Therefore, Western Farm Service's revision to the detail of when <br /> they shall be analyzed is acceptable and is now noted in the MRP narrative preceeding the <br /> tables. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> �d Rerycled Paper <br />
