Y f FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT _3- MUSCO FAMILY OLIVE COMPANY SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. Spur North Field is northeast of Musco's main office.(Photo 9) and separated from 18 North Field by the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. I observed evidence that wastewater had run off from Spur North Field and flowed along the railroad tracks and the field's southern fence line (Photos 10 through 14). 1 also observed discolored soil (Photos 11 and 12) and standing -wastewater near the same area (Photos 10, 13, and 14). 1 observed that a low earthen berm had been made along the fence line northwest of this field (Photo 10); however, it did not appear sufficiently large to contain the spill. We walked along side the railroad tracks east toward the Aqueduct and followed the spill paths. One path extended along the southern border of the railroad tracks through a storm drain inlet to the east side of the Aqueduct (Photo 15). Another path went through a culvert along the tracks and extended along the northern border of the railroad tracks to an area west of the Aqueduct (Photo 16). Attachment 1 DFG's inspection report, provides p p , p additionalhoto ra hic evidence of the P 9 P wastewater spill. Specifically, Attachment 1 documents conditions of standing wastewater in areas adjacent to the Aqueduct (Photos 21, 19, and 16); and erosion channels created from the spill from Spur North Field, as well as conditions of standing wastewater along the fence (Photos 6, 11, and 17). We followed a wastewater spill path to an area west of the Aqueduct (Photos 16 and 17), and observed how the spill may have discharged to the Aqueduct through a storm water outfall (Photos 18 and 19). We also followed a wastewater spill path to an area east of the Aqueduct (Photos 20 and 21), and observed how the spill may have discharged to the Aqueduct through another storm water outfall (Photo 22). 18 North ):veld We inspected 18 North Field. I observed that wastewater and storm water had runoff from the southeast portion of this field to the northern border of the railroad tracks (Photo 23). 1 noticed that the field was not adequately leveled and saw minimal vegetative growth (Photo 24). 1 observed several areas with standing wastewater in (Photo 25). 1 also observed an erosion channel leading to a wastewater collection sump in the northeast portion of the field (Photos 26 and 27). 1 also observed an overflow pipe capped on the other side of the sump (opposite side of inlet pipe) where an area was bermed (Photo 28). This berm appeared to have been constructed recently to prevent wastewater and storm water from overflowing from the sump next to a second culvert under 1-580 (hereafter referred to as "second culvert")_ Wastewater spills from the bermed area could have discharged to the adjacent drainage that flows through the second culvert (Photo 29). 1 observed dark-colored sediment accumulations at the entrance of the second culvert (Photo 30). Moran reported seeing brown-colored water flowing from Musco's property through this culvert last winter. We inspected the areas further northwest of 18 North Field and detected the flow path of surface water runoff from one culvert (northwest of 18 North Field) to another culvert (Photos
