Box 2148 <br /> Lodi, CA 95241 <br /> Dear Mr. Stark: <br /> By now you have received your copy of the 4 August 1994 letter addres-ed to Patricia Leary <br /> of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, detailing the <br /> cause of the 6 July 1j994 release of process water to Bear Creek and the steps that have <br /> been taken to prevenjt a recurrence of the incident. I believe that the information contained in <br /> that letter should be adequate to address any additional questions that you may have had <br /> related to the relea4 In previous cor,espondence, however, I had indicated that I would <br /> prepare a final report for your office indicating the results of our clean-up efforts and provide <br /> you with copies of the{ analytical results that were obtained from the creek subsequent to the <br /> clean-up. Toward thIt end, Tri Valley Growers provides the following information: <br /> On 11 July 19941 Bear Creek was examined by Tri Valley Growers Environmental <br /> Department staff and found to be clear, clean, and consistent with its past <br /> appearance. Th aesthetics of the creek had been restored and wildlife was healthy <br /> and active alongits banks. Water samples of the creek were taken in two (2) <br /> locations; East of�the railroad trestle and South of the railroad trestle near the natural <br /> vegetation berm that had contained the original release. A 96 hour Bioassay was <br /> performed along with BOD, COD, Total Suspended Solids, and Suffite. Analytical <br /> results (see attachment) showed the creek no longer had high levels of BOD or COD <br /> and the Bioassay' showed greater than 95% survival. <br /> At this time, Tri Valley Growers considers Bear Creek to be restored to its original condition. <br /> If I can provide furthe information please contact me at (209) 572-5514. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Christopher J. Savage <br /> Supervisor, Environmental Services <br /> Attachments <br /> cc: Kasey Foley, SJ�DHS <br /> Patricia Leary, C RWQCB <br /> P.O.
