At this time, Arcady Oil is out of <br /> compliance with Cleanup and Abatement Order 90-029. This order requires the property owner and/or <br /> discharger to submit a Hydrogeologic Assessment Report, initiate a ground water monitoring program, <br /> and prepare a final closure/post-closure maintenance program for the surface impoundments. <br /> During the '12 May 1999 meeting between ERM (environmental consultants for Arcady Oil Company) <br /> and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board), ERM agreed to provide an <br /> additional work plan to further characterize the site and determine if the disposed drilling mud is <br /> considered hazardous waste under Title 22 limits. ERM requested that the California Department of <br /> Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) be contacted in regards to the waste characterization issue, prior to <br /> the report preparation. Following DTSC's review of the current site information and a search of their <br /> own files, they suggested that DTSC would review the site only if the discharger applies for their <br /> Voluntary Cleanup Program. For that reason, the Board will continue to direct the cleanup for this site <br /> regarding all water quality issues. <br /> Consequently, for the discharger to avoid further enforcement the outstanding reports required by <br /> Cleanup and Abatement Order 90-029 must be provided to the Board. The Hydrogeologic Assessment <br /> and Additional Site Characterization work plan shall be submitted no later than 30 May 2000. Included <br /> in the additional work plan should be a formal response to the Board's 22 March 1999 letter that <br /> reviewed the 19 February 1999 ERM Summary Report for soil investigations. In addition, the <br /> discharger shall submit a plan describing the implementation of ground water monitoring program by 30 <br /> June 2000. If the discharger does not fulfill its responsibility with regards to Cleanup and Abatement <br /> Order 90-029, the Board under California's Water Quality Control Act Section 13350(d)(1) may refer <br /> this case to the State Attorney Generals office for enforcement. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> �� Rcc j cled Paper <br />
