Page 11 Nestle Response: The Water Management Plan will be revised to incorporate this change and finalized after the meeting with the Counties. 15. Appendix E,Water Management Plan, Page 6, Section 4.4, San Joaquin County: In the second paragraph, revise "Nestle will assure that this information is made available to the agency" to "Nestle will assure that an updated plume map will be provided to the agency annually. Nestle will also upload the annual groundwater monitoring report to Geotracker by 1 April of the following calendar year and provide a hard copy to SJCEHD upon request". Nestle Response: The Water Management Plan will be revised to incorporate this change and finalized after the meeting with the Counties. 16. Appendix E,Water Management Plan, Page 6, Section 4.5, Stanislaus County: The same commitment to San Joaquin County in Specific Comment 15 should be made to Stanislaus County. Add it to this section. Nestle Response: The Water Management Plan will be revised to incorporate this change and finalized after the meeting with the Counties. 17. Appendix E,Water Management Plan,Figure 1: How was the boundary of the Study Area determined? It does not include many municipal wells to the north, including MW- 12 and MW-13, and does not extend very far south of the Stanislaus River. Until we agree on the size of the buffer zone around the existing groundwater contamination, this Study area should be expanded at least one mile to the north,west, and south. Nestle Response: We will discuss this during the meeting with the Counties. 18. Appendix G,Revised Public Participation Plan, Section 2.2, Facility History: The facility history is missing an explanation of how the large TCE plume was created at the City of Ripon's wastewater ponds. Add discussion of the TCE that was apparently discharged by Nestle to the City of Ripon's industrial sewer system and was subsequently released into the subsurface at the ponds. Nestle Response: The findings from the proposed groundwater investigation may help further assess the origin of TCE impacts near the City wastewater ponds. The revised plan will include this discussion. 19. Appendix G,Revised Public Participation Plan, Section 2.3, Project Activities: The last sentence in this section refers to a "Final Remedial Action Plan" containing the final groundwater remedy. Revise this sentence based on General Comment 4 above. Nestle Response: This change will be incorporated in the revised plan. 20. Appendix G, Revised Public Participation Plan, Section 3.2, Current and Future Community Involvement: Based on the requested changes to the RAP in the comments
