t <br /> '*-eMEMORANDUM *ool <br /> CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD - CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> 3443 Routier Road Phone: (916) 361-5600 <br /> Sacramento, CA 95827.3098 ATSS Phone: 8.495-5600 <br /> TO: SMS Briners File FROM: David Brent, Project Engineer <br /> DATE: 22 July 1989 SIGNATURE: <br /> SUBJECT: MEETING TO DISCUSS AMENDED RWD AND GROUND WATER MONITORING SYSTEM <br /> On the 18 July 1989 we met with representatives from SMS Briners to discuss the subject <br /> amendments. The changes were requested by our 20 June 1989 letter and memorandum. An <br /> attendance sheet is attached. <br /> The meeting focused primarily on two topics, the verification ground water monitoring system <br /> and the stormwater run-off, Ms. Kretsinger of Luhdorff and Scalmanini disagrees with our <br /> contention that the production wells are not sufficient verification monitoring wells. We <br /> explained that the production wells had been sufficient to detect if the ponds were leaking <br /> but were not adequate to verify the magnitude and extent of the plume. After lengthy <br /> discussions, it was determined that SMS would install the three additional monitoring wells <br /> proposed in their workplan and that we did not support the use of the production wells as <br /> verification monitoring wells. We made it clear that additional monitoring wells may be <br /> necessary in the future to better define or observe the plume of contamination and/or comply <br /> with Subchapter 15 closure. <br /> SMS would like to discharge their storm water run-off directly to North Littlejohns Creek <br /> instead to the ponds as the currently do. We stated that such a discharge would have to be <br /> permitted and that permit limitations would be consistent with receiving water quality. <br /> Probably what will happen is that SMS will monitor storm water run-off during the upcoming <br /> rainy season while discharge to the ponds continues and a permit will be issued later, if <br /> appropriate. <br /> We extended the deadline for the submittal of the amended RWD and ground water monitoring <br /> system from 1 August to 15 September. <br /> - 'ri <br />
