Page 2, Item A.1 — There are no background deep zone wells for the Austin Road Unit; suggest changing the status of well AMW-7 to an Austin Road Deep Zone Detection Well, Also, suggest adding the sampling frequency of the wells to this table Response: AMW-7 has been changed to Deep Zone Detection Well, sampling frequency is shown elsewhere in the MRP. Comment 12: Page 3, Item A.1, second paragraph, line 6, suggest changing "extend" to "extent". Response: The suggested change has been made. Comment 13: Page 3 Item A.1, fifth paragraph. Suggest changing Table VI to Table VIII. Response: The suggested change has been made. Comment 14: Page 5, Item A.3 — With the exception of sumps F -North (Forward Pond) and F - West (Austin Pond), leachate collected from the sumps is pumped out to evaporation ponds weekly. The Forward Pond is the leachate monitoring point for WMU a and WMU D series sumps, while the Austin Pond is the leachate monitoring point for WMU FU series sumps. Suggest replacing the monitoring points with the appropriate leachate pond. Response: Liquid in Forward and Austin Ponds is from several sources including leachate sumps, cannery rinsate, stormwater, etc. and sampling the ponds only does not tell us much about leachate generated by the various WMUs. Leachate sumps are sampled annually to keep costs reasonable. No change to the Order will be made. a
