Quarterly reports are required in Section 2652(d) of the Underground Tank Regulation, Chapter 16, Division 3, Title 23, of the California Code of Regulations. Recommended reporting formats are included in the Tri-Regional Recommendations and Appendix A. Ground water monitoring results, volumes of extracted ground water and product, and remediation system operational information must be included. REPORTING In reporting the monitoring data, the Discharger shall arrange the data in tabular form so that the date, the constituents, and the concentrations are readily discernible. The data shall be summarized in such a manner to illustrate clearly the compliance with waste discharge requirements. 90 days after the issuance of this Order, the discharger shall supply Board staff with a ground water monitoring program that will demonstrate the effectiveness of the ground water treatment system. Annually, by 30 January, the discharger shall submit a report evaluating the effectiveness and progress of the ground water cleanup, including at a minimum: both tabular and graphical summaries of the monitoring data obtained during the previous year; trends in the concentrations of the pollutants in ground water monitoring wells; whether the contaminant plume is being captured by the extraction system or is continuing to spread; plans for improvements to the ground water monitoring, extraction or treatment system; status of any other cleanup activities such as soil excavation or soil venting systems; and the anticipated date for completion of cleanup activities. The annual report shall also include the reasons for and durations of all interruptions in the operation of the treatment systems. Quarterly monitoring reports shall be submitted to the Regional Board by the 15th day of the following month after the calendar quarter. The results of any monitoring done more frequently than required at the locations specified in the Monitoring and Reporting Program shall be reported to the Board. Upon written request of the Board, the Discharger shall submit a report to the Board by 30 January of each year. The report shall contain both tabular and graphical summaries of the monitoring data obtained during the previous year. In addition, the Discharger shall discuss the compliance record and the corrective actions taken or planned which may be needed to bring the discharge into full compliance with the waste discharge requirements.
