The submittal due date is 30 June 2002. Your letter describes the potential use of new land application areas and requests a delay in well installation at the designated land application areas until the issue is resolved. If new land application areas are used, a revised monitoring network would be designed. Wastewater can be applied to new land application areas only after the WDRs are revised. To revise the WDRs, a complete Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) must be submitted at least 120 days prior to initiating the discharge. Your letter does not describe the status of the land application areas described in the WDRs; will they be used for wastewater application? If so, there is no reason to delay installation of the monitoring wells. Additional wells for new land application areas can be added to the monitoring network later and would be addressed in revised WDRs. Failing to meet the schedule for well installation will impact the schedule of a number of other technical reports including the reports required by Provisions F.l.f and F.l.g. You request an extension until 30 August 2002; in fact, if new land application areas are proposed, an RWD will be required delaying the well installation considerably beyond 30 August 2002. If you have any questions on this information,please telephone me at (916) 255-3116. TIMOTHY R.
