If the Groundwater Monitoring Report or monitoring data shows that wastewater application has impacted groundwater quality, then within 90 days of receiving notification from the Executive Officer, the Discharger shall submit a salinity reduction workplan,which identifies methods the Discharger will implement to reduce the dissolved solids loading of land application areas. Failure to reduce the dissolved solids loaded could result in reclassification of the wastewater as designated waste and/or result in a requirement to cease the discharge. 6. At least 90 days prior to termination or expiration of any lease, contract, or agreement involving the land application or landscaped areas used to justify the capacity authorized herein and assure compliance with this Order, the Discharger shall notify the Board in writing of the situation and of what measures have been taken or are being taken to assure full compliance with this Order. 7.

The demonstration shall include the submittal of a technical report that describes, at a minimum, the results of a field demonstration project conducted over the course of at least two years on similar soil types as those in the land application areas and using similar food processing wastewater as that described in the Findings.
