WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2008-0064 4 <br /> BP WEST COAST PRODUCTS <br /> ARCO/BP STOCKTON TERMINAL#40T <br /> ENHANCED BIOREMEDIATION PILOT STUDY <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> monthly during the first six months, and quarterly thereafter during the pilot test for <br /> the parameters outlined in the attached MRP No. R5-2008-0064. <br /> 14.If the levels of nitrate and sulfate in AR/MW-23A drop below baseline levels and <br /> upon written approval of the Executive Officer, the Discharger may begin another <br /> three-month cycle of the injection with up to 280 mg/L of the potassium <br /> nitrate/sulfate/phosphate solution. <br /> 15.In the event that concentrations of nitrate, sulfate, nitrogen, sodium, ammonium, <br /> sulfide, phosphate, and/or phosphorous in downgradient well AR/MW-1A exceed the <br /> baseline concentrations listed in Item C.1 below by 20 percent or more, or if the <br /> injected material is observed leaving the well network above baseline <br /> concentrations, injections will cease and the Discharger will collect a confirmation <br /> sample. If the exceedance is confirmed, the Discharger will cease the injections and <br /> continue monthly monitoring of well AR/MW-1A for three months to generate enough <br /> data to establish a trend. If the levels, based on the concentration trend, are more <br /> than 20 percent above baseline levels, the Discharger will implement the <br /> contingency plan. The Discharger will install a groundwater extraction and treatment <br /> system and begin extraction of groundwater from extraction wells AR/MW-13A, <br /> AR/MW-3A, and AR/MW-8A, treat it, and then discharge it to the sanitary sewer or <br /> haul it off-site for disposal. The Discharger will also monitor well AR/MW-1A every <br /> other week until the levels decrease to baseline levels and then monthly for at least <br /> six months to confirm concentrations remain below baseline levels. <br /> 16.Groundwater consistently flows in an easterly direction at an average gradient of <br /> 0.0064 feet per foot. AR/MW-1A was selected as the well to evaluate for <br /> exceedences because it is about 280 feet east of the proposed injection wells. <br /> 17.The injection into waters of the State is subject to regulation under the California <br /> Water Code. This Order authorizes the Discharger to inject sodium sulfate, sodium <br /> nitrate, and ammonium phosphate into groundwater subject to specific discharge <br /> requirements. <br /> 18.The Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River <br /> Basins, Fourth Edition, (hereafter Basin Plan) designates beneficial uses, <br /> establishes water quality objectives, contains implementation plans and policies for <br /> protecting waters of the basin, and incorporates by reference plans and policies <br /> adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board). Pursuant to <br /> Section 13263(a) of the California Water Code, waste discharge requirements must <br /> implement the Basin Plan. <br /> 19.Surface water drainage is to the San Joaquin River within the legal boundaries of the <br /> Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta. The beneficial uses of the Sacramento - San <br />
