Quarterly monitoring reports shall <br /> be submitted to the Regional Board by the 15th day of the following quarter, during the offseason. " <br /> Our records show that the last submitted monitoring report under MRP No. 90-142 is for November <br /> 1994, which means that the Discharger is almost four years delinquent on this reporting. <br /> Groundwater beneath and north of the Triple E Produce facility is contaminated with trihalomethane <br /> constituents, of which chloroform is the primary contaminant, caused by past discharges of chlorinated <br /> tomato wash water to an infiltration pond.
