(Kennedy/Jenks)has prepared this Work Plan- Offsite <br /> Groundwater Characterization (Work Plan)on behalf of Musco Family Olive Company(Musco). <br /> Kennedy/Jenks is submitting this Work Plan to notify the Regional Water Quality Control Board, <br /> Central Valley Region (RWQCB)of the approach and initial steps to characterize shallow <br /> groundwater(above the Corcoran Clay layer)beneath prospective offsite locations for <br /> application of reclaimed process wastewater for agricultural purposes. <br /> Background <br /> Musco is evaluating the feasibility of supplying treated process wastewater for irrigation of the <br /> Jepsen Webb Ranch LLC property,APN 209-240-26 and 209-240-27, located in the southern <br /> portion of Section 36,T2N/R4E Mount Diablo Base and Meridian (MDB&M). Musco intends to <br /> investigate the quality of the underlying groundwater in this area and use the results of this <br /> investigation to identify appropriate limitations for the quality of the reclaimed water. Musco <br /> intends to submit a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) to obtain reclamation requirements for <br /> use of the reclaimed water for crop irrigation on this property or other nearby properties.The <br /> objective of the investigation outlined in this Work Plan is to generate an exploratory-level <br /> characterization of groundwater in the potential reclamation areas.The findings of this <br /> investigation, i.e. the hydrogeologic understanding and groundwater quality data, will be used as <br /> baseline data to assist in establishing reclamation requirements, <br /> Proposed Sampling Methodology <br /> Kennedy/Jenks intends to assess the groundwater in the potential irrigation areas using a <br /> combination of cone penetrometer testing (CPT)and HydropunchTM or equivalent groundwater <br /> sampling. The CPT and groundwater sampling is conducted in two separate steps at each <br /> p.G:awwm'n`ryEam2ut0/.m�neeaep+ews�ww^ rM_o� navh.�ln.bx .. <br /> �_ .—� 'd-60H ON SJNtl110SN00 S�N3f/A03NN3��WtlSI Ol_b041 '6l 'BtlW. <br />
