ENFORCEMENT HISTORY 7. On November 6, 2002, the Discharger submitted an Evaluation Monitoring Plan, which describes the criteria for delineating the nature and extent of groundwater pollution. Because Module "f' is unlined and presumed to be a source of waste discharges, the WDRs require the closure of Module "I" as part of the corrective action measures. WDRs Order No. R5-2003-0020, Provision J.12, requires that the Discharger submit on 1 June 2003, the Engineering Feasibility Study report, which includes closure of Module "I". The Discharger did not submit the document by the date of compliance. 9. On 16 September 2003, the Executive Officer issued a CWC 13267 Order requiring the Discharger to submit two reports, including (a) the Engineering Feasibility Study report, which includes the closure of Module "I", required by the WDRs and (b) a Partial Cover workplan, which includes design and construction of the soil cover for all modules in the Unit and addresses the performance standards for precipitation and drainage controls. The WDRs • required the reports be submitted on 1 June 2003. The CWC 13267 Order required the documents to be submitted on 1 November 2003. 10. On 30 October 2003, the Discharger submitted the Partial Cover workplan and the Engineering Feasibility Study Report and Corrective Action Program. These documents did not include a closure plan for Module "I" in compliance with WDRs Order No. R5-2003-0020 or Title 27 CCR. 11. On 16 December 2003, the Executive Officer issued an Administrative Civil Liability Complaint (ACLC) No. R5-2003-0159 in the amount of $10,000 for non -submittal of (a) the Engineering Feasibility Study report including the closure of Module "I", as required by the WDRs, and (b) a Partial Cover workplan including specifications for design and construction of the soil cover for all modules in the Unit and specifies the performance standards for precipitation and drainage controls; in compliance with closure standards set forth in WDRs and Title 27 CCR. 12. The Executive Officer and Discharger entered into a settlement discussion and agreed to resolve by consent and without further administrative proceedings the alleged violations of the CWC and WDRs. The Discharger agreed to pay $10,000 in proposed civil liability and the Executive Officer agreed to revise the ACLC No. R5-2003-0159 (the new order is ACLC No. R5-2604-0520). The Discharger further agreed to accept CAO R5-2004-0706, which is intended to address releases from Module "I," and the Executive Officer agreed, if landfill gas releases are successfully eliminated, to recommend a modification of WDRs Order No. R5- 0
