• • Mr. Pat Mitchell - 3 - 13 March 2001 California Natural Products 0.01 foot. The Well Survey Report shall include the Land Surveyor/Engineer's field notes in an appendix. 2. By 13 April 2001, California Natural Products shall submit a Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) that will be implemented for all future groundwater monitoring. The SAP shall be prepared under the supervision of a California Registered Engineer or Geologist with experience in groundwater quality investigations. At a minimum, the SAP shall include: water level elevation measurement techniques, sample collection details (purging techniques, sampling equipment to the used, sample containers, and decontamination of sampling equipment), sample preservation and shipment, analytical procedures, chain of custody control, and quality assurance/quality control standards. California Natural Products shall collect,preserve, and transport groundwater samples in accordance with the approved SAP. 3. By 30 April 2001, California Natural Products shall submit a Wastewater Infiltration Rate Report. The infiltration rate for the land application area shall be determined using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Infiltration Rate Using a Double-Ring Infiltrometer with a Sealed-Inner Ring (ASTM D 5093-90, reapproved 1997), or Standard Test Method for Infiltration Rate of Soils in Field Using Double-Ring Infiltrometer (ASTM D-3385-94). A minimum of three infiltration tests shall be conducted; wastewater from the processing facility shall be used in the tests. Wastewater infiltration rate tests shall be performed in all areas that wastewater discharge is proposed. The Wastewater Infiltration Rate report shall be prepared under the supervision of a California Registered Engineer. 4. By 30 April 2001, California Natural Products shall submit a technical report which evaluates: a) the availability(through either lease or purchase) of additional suitable land for land application of wastewater; and b)municipal treatment system wastewater disposal capacity that is immediately available. The disposal capacity evaluation shall include projections for the availability of capacity in the next ten years. 5. Because of the large increase in flow rate requested by California Natural Products, California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) documentation must be completed. By 30 April 2001, California Natural Products shall submit all necessary CEQA documentation for the changes requested in its RWD, and shall describe whether the County or the Board will be the lead agency. If the County will be the lead agency, then California Natural Products shall consult with the County and provide an expected date of adoption for the CEQA document. The CEQA documentation shall be completed by an individual or firm with experience in this area. 6. By 10 May 2001, California Natural Products shall submit a Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation Workplan consistent with the requirements described in the attached guidance document. Additional groundwater monitoring wells shall be installed at the land application area, including a minimum of one background well. The proposed groundwater monitoring system shall include a sufficient number of monitoring points, installed at appropriate locations, to provide groundwater samples from the uppermost aquifer that represents the extent of the groundwater that has been affected, or may be affected, by the discharge of waste. Additional monitoring points shall be added to provide the best assurance of the earliest possible detection of an adverse impact to groundwater due to the discharge of the waste.
