Surrounding land uses are agricultural and industrial; there are four industrial or agricultural <br /> wells downgradient of the wastewater ponds. <br /> 9. Domestic and industrial water is supplied by two wells at the facility. One well is adjacent <br /> to the leased "VIP warehouse" and provides domestic and fire protection water. The second <br /> well is in the employee parking area and supplies water to the glass manufacturing plant. <br /> The second well's casing is perforated in deep aquifer zones (440 to 530 ft. bgs). The well's <br /> seal extends from the surface to 350 ft. bgs. The well location is presented in Attachment B. <br /> Characterization of the water quality was reported to be: <br /> Constituent units Concentration <br /> Total Hardness (as CaCO3) mal 447 <br /> Calcium mg1 97.9 <br /> Magnesium ma/1 49.1 <br /> Sodium ma'1 175 <br /> Potassium mel 7.3 <br /> Total Cations mail 16.72 <br /> Total Alkalinity(as CaCO3) mol 157 <br /> Hydroxide Alkalinity(as CaCO3) mail 0 <br /> Carbonate Alkalinity(as CaCO3) mail 0 <br /> Bicarbonate Alkalinity (as CaCO3) me/] 157 <br /> Sulfate Mal 408 <br /> Chloride moil 187 <br /> Nitrate mJl 21.7 <br /> Fluoride mJl 0.12 <br /> Total Anions ms/l 17.26 <br /> PH pH units 7.6 <br /> Specific Conductance umhos/em 1580 <br /> Total Dissolved Solids mo/1 1047 <br /> Copper 129,1 <50 <br /> Iron ug/1 <100 <br /> Manganese u21 <10 <br /> Zinc 119A <50 <br /> Note: <br /> Data from Nolte Associates, "Owens-Broc"ay Glass Containers, Groundwater Monitoring <br /> Workplan," 14 July 1994. <br /> 10.
