MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM ORDER NO. R5-2011-XXX 2 ' FERNANDO'S-STOCKTON SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY ' The Discharger proposes to conduct an in-situ chemical oxidation pilot study (using ozone [031) to be followed by full-scale implementation of this remedial alternative, depending upon the success of the pilot study, for remediating the residual fuel hydrocarbon and ' oxygenate impact to soil and groundwater. The Discharger proposes to inject 03 into eight single-completion injection wells at two separate depth intervals (as shown on the attached Figure 2A). During the proposed remediation, the Discharger will perform applicable ' monitoring, sampling and reporting. Pilot test and sampling results will be evaluated by San Joaquin County RWQCB staff. Adequate fail-safe alternates (stop injection and monitor as aquifer conditions return to baseline) are contained within the Discharger's ' proposal (ISCO Pilot Study Work Plan, dated 17 April 2012) should adverse water quality conditions occur due to the injection of oxidants.
