KLEINFELDER The Spreckels factory stopped sugar production in August 1995. Since that time, almost all of the water in the wastewater ponds has been from stormwater runoff. On February 27, 1996, John M. Minney of Madera Ranchos, California composed a closure plan for the lime ponds on site. The closure of the remaining ponds on site was not addressed. The plan was very general and did not discuss the specifics for the closure. On August 19, 1996, the RWQCB responded to the April 24, 1996 closure plans by John Minney. In the review letter, the RWQCB stated that the closure plan by Mr. Minney was incomplete, and requested a detailed Report of Waste Discharge and a detailed Closure Plan for their review. On September 23 1997, the RWQCB issued "Revised Waste Discharge Requirements for Spreckels Development Company, Former Spreckels Manteca Sugar Plant, Lime Pond Closure, San Joaquin County". The Revised Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. 97-204 (hereinafter "WDRs") detailed the requirements the RWQCB had on the property owner. The WDRs required additional monitoring at the site. Included in the monitoring well network was Monitoring Wells MW-1 and MW-2. However, the WDRs allowed for the monitoring wells to be abandoned and moved to a"like hydrogeologic location", if development required. 4.0 SCOPE OF WORK Kleinfelder's scope of work includes the abandonment of monitoring wells MW-1 and MW-2. Monitoring wells MW-Ir and MW-2r will be installed to replace the existing monitoring wells MWA and MW-2. MW-Ir and MW-2r will be installed in accordance with the same methodology that was approved for the relocation of MW-3 to MW-3r (Kleinfelder Proposal 20- YP9-329, dated February 8, 2000). 4.1 Drilling Permit and Workplan Submittal Kleinfelder proposes to install a total of two (2) monitoring wells in a borings advanced by a truck-mounted drill rig at the location detailed on Plate 2. The San Joaquin County Public Health Services Department Environmental Health Division(PHS/EHD) requires a workplan and permit application for the installation of monitoring wells. Additionally, the RWQCB requires that a workplan (this document) be submitted. The proposed monitoring well installations, in addition to the abandonment of MW-1 and MW-2 will each require permits, and this workplan should be submitted by the client to both agencies for review. Kleinfelder will also prepare a health and safety plan for use in the field. 20-YPO-273/2000P331/2000 W 034 Page 6 of 1 1 Copyright 2000, Kleinfelder,Inc. September 4,2000 i
