Box 795 4 <br /> c/o Southwest Hide Company <br /> Modesto CA 95353-0795 <br /> SOUTHWEST HIDE COMPANY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY(CASE#2664) <br /> We have received from Southwest Hide a"Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study..." dated September <br /> 1998 and an "Addendum to Closure-Post Closure Maintenance Plan, Surface Impoundment" dated <br /> August 1998 in response to a Regional Board staff(staff) letter of 3 March 1998. Staff finds that these <br /> submittals are not in compliance with Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations. We also have <br /> reviewed Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. 92-077 (WDRs) for Southwest Hide and the case <br /> file, and have determined that Southwest Hide is not in compliance with the WDRs or Cleanup and <br /> Abatement Order No. 89-707 (C&A). Requirements in the WDRs for closure of the pond, groundwater <br /> remediation and financial assurance have not been met. The lateral and vertical extent of the <br /> groundwater plume has not been defined as required in the C&A. More detailed comments on the <br /> reports, WDRs and C&A are attached. <br /> Based on the issues discussed above and pursuant to Section 13267 of the California Water Code, <br /> Southwest Hide is required to furnish the following technical reports under penalty of perjury: <br /> ♦ Financial assurances for foreseeable release by 15 July 1999 <br /> ♦ A technical report in the form of a work plan with a schedule to begin soil and groundwater cleanup <br /> due to staff by 15 July 1999 <br /> ♦ A technical report in the form of a work plan with a schedule to define the vertical and lateral extent <br /> of the release from the facility by 15 July 1999 <br /> ♦ A technical report in the form of a work plan to conduct monitoring and reporting in compliance <br /> with the WDRs, Monitoring and Reporting Program Order Number 92-077, and the C&A by 30 <br /> August 1999 <br /> California Environmental Protection AgencyL bw <br /> r a 4 <br /> ;p*Recycled Paper K <br />
