Diablo Blvd., Suite 260 <br /> Lafayette, CA 94549 <br /> USE OF PURGE WATER FROM WESTERN FARM SERVICE SITE IN VERNALIS, <br /> SAN JOA Q UIN COUNTY <br /> During 26 and 29 June 1998 telephone conversations with Ms. Carolyn Kneiblher of GeoSyntec <br /> Consultants, Inc., your consultant, Ms. Kneiblher stated that Mr. Scott Hudson, Agricultural <br /> Commissioner for San Joaquin County, requested that I approve use of 40,000 gallons of water from <br /> a groundwater pumping test for make-up water in fertilizer solutions. The water, which has 15 mg/1 <br /> nitrate, 53 mg/1 ammonia, 0.51 gg/1 trichloroethene, and 0.025 gg/1 of ethylene dibromide, is to be <br /> applied to crops at agronomic rates. As I wrote in my 8 June 1998 letter, use of the water would <br /> need to be approved by Mr. Hudson. Ms. Kneiblher stated that Mr. Hudson did not have any <br /> objections to water applied as fertilizer solutions. Use of the groundwater as fertilizer make-up <br /> water to be applied at agronomic rates is approved. Please include in the next quarterly report a <br /> description of when and where the water was applied. <br /> If you have any questions, I can be contacted at (916) 255-3082. <br /> 6(pv'g, 9[ZM--X-14 <br /> DAVID F.
