CENTRAL VALLEY REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD (CVRWQCB) <br /> Tom Pinkos <br /> Stan Phillippe <br /> 6/81 - Drilling mud ponds were inspected and found to have a soil permeability <br /> 8 x 10-6 and were required to be 1 x 10-6. Forward complied with the more <br /> restrictive criteria in order to receive the drilling muds. An inspection <br /> made 2/25/82 by CVRWQCB indicted some violations. The inspection report will <br /> be completed and made available to all parties by 4/27/82 or 4/28/82. The <br /> February inspection report does make reference to violations that were not <br /> noted on the report made available to County Counsel on the 3/4/82 report. <br /> State Geologist Jim Parsons cleared all monitoring wells at the site at the <br /> time they were installed. It now appears that more monitoring wells must be installed <br /> at the site. More information must be obtained from Jim Parsons before Forward <br /> is notified of this change. Samples from two (2) existing monitoring wells con- <br /> taining water do not indicate any significant migration of chemicals into the <br /> water strata. One well was destroyed and six (6) are dry which indicates no <br /> liquid transferred beyond the site. <br /> CVRWQCB stated they were concerned about the levees of the drilling mud ponds <br /> not being compacted to 1 x 10-6; however, the ponds were filled with a bentonite <br /> material which is an approved sealing material for water wells. <br /> CVRWQCB stated they will have a representative at the hearing 5/4/82 to answer <br /> any questions the Board of Supervisors might have regarding the Forward Site. <br />
