FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT MUSCO FAMILY OLIVE COMPANY SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 31 and 32). Due to excessive vegetation, I could not inspect the soil in this drainage for evidence of discoloration. I also noticed two culverts southwest of this area through which flows surface runoff from the northwest portion of Masco's property and properties surrounding this drainage way; both of these culverts contained accumulations of discolored sediment (only one culvert is shown in Photo 33). Olive Processing Tanks Spill Area and Collection Ditch I inspected the olive processing tank area (See Photos 20 through 22 of my March 2006 FIR) where I had observed on my earlier inspection a spill of olive processing liquid on soil. There are two concrete pads — one east and the other west of a dirt road —that I will refer to as East Tank Pad and West Tank Pad, respectively. The affected soil appeared to have been removed. However, Leikam indicated that the soil had not been removed, but rather clean soil had been applied to this area (Photo 34). 1 informed him, as I did on 23 March, that the i affected soil must be removed for proper disposal forthwith and that he should ,notify Regional Water Board staff when this work was complete. I inspected the East Tank Pad and observed spills of olive processing liquid (Photos 35 and 'k 36). 1 followed the spill path to an area where wastewater could discharge to soil (Photo 37). 1 documented similar spillage in my 23 March 2006 facility inspection report. I inspected the fEast Tank Pad's wastewater and storm water collection system and observed debris in the runoff collection channel (Photos 38 through 40). 1 also inspected the West Tank Pad's 'i wastewater and storm water collection system (Photo 41) and again observed debris in the F runoff collection channel. Accumulation of sludge and debris in this channel could plug the channel and cause concentrated Wastewater to spill to the storm drain inlet adjacent to the West Tank Pad (Photo 42). I also inspected the northern portion of the West Tank Pad runoff collection system, which C discharges to a drainage channel and ultimately pumped to 1-mg Pond (Photos 43 and 44). According to Leikam, this part of the system also collects retort cooling water. South Ridge and Check Fields I drove the road north of South Ridge Field. The western portion of this field displayed better NyPa growth (Photo 45) compared to the remainder of the field (Photo 46). 1 also observed a hose that could be used to convey wastewater from a sump (Photo 47), and noted that its terminus was within the South Ridge Field. In my earlier inspection, I observed the use of a similar hose to convey wastewater and storm water from the sump to the Check Field (see Photos 35 through 42 of the March 2006 FIR). 1-mg Pond I inspected the 1-mg Pond and noted that its surface was partially covered with an oily scum layer (Photos 48 and 49).
