<br /> ' Average monthly monitoring data from January through August 2014.
<br /> The integrity of the pond liner was tested in 2013 using a geomembrane electrical leak location
<br /> survey. Based on the results, no electrical anomalies or holes were detected in the pond liner
<br /> under the water level at the time of testing. However, a portion of the pond near the paddle
<br /> wheel could not be evaluated.
<br /> Groundwater quality was unknown and was not investigated prior to the submittal of the 2008
<br /> RWD. At the request of Central Valley Water Board staff, groundwater monitoring wells were
<br /> installed around the wastewater pond in March 2014 (Attachment B). Three groundwater
<br /> monitoring wells, MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3, were installed to depths of approximately 30 feet
<br /> below ground surface (bgs) and screened from 15 to 30 feet bgs to characterize shallow
<br /> groundwater. As discussed in the 2014 RWD, analytical results from two groundwater
<br /> monitoring events indicate gross pollution with salinity constituents, nitrate nitrogen, sulfate, and
<br /> manganese has occurred, as shown on the table below. The table also includes applicable
<br /> Water Quality Objectives (WQOs).
