' Cary Keaten 0 - 5 - • 10 April 2007 <br /> ' d. The report does not describe any investigation of the possibility of survey <br /> coordinates for the lost wells, nor does it describe any photo interpretation in an <br /> ' attempt to locate the wells. Please describe all activities performed to locate the <br /> lost wells. <br /> t e. If homes will be constructed where the lost wells are located, how will the <br /> possibility of a homeowner discovering the well be prevented? <br /> f.

The report states, "The wells were successfully located using a portable survey <br /> grade Global Positioning System (GPS) as stated in the above-referenced letter." <br /> ' It is unclear if the comment indicates survey coordinates were used to find the lost <br /> wells, or the discovered weds were surveyed with GPS equipment to establish <br /> their location. Please clarify the statement and provide the well coordinates. As <br /> with all other monitoring wells at the site, elevation shall be within 0.01 foot and <br /> horizontal coordinates shall be within one foot and shall be performed by a <br /> California licensed surveyor or engineer licensed to perform surveying. <br /> ' b.

Well MW-18 is part of the established groundwater monitoring network as <br /> ' described by WDRs Finding No. 62. The destruction of the well without first <br /> obtaining authorization from the Regional Water Board is a violation of the WDRs. <br /> ' The MRP requires: <br /> Prior to construction and/or sampling of any groundwater monitoring wells, <br /> the Discharger shall submit plans and specifications to the Board for review <br /> and approval. All wells identified in the groundwater monitoring well network <br /> shall be sampled and analyzed according to the schedule below. <br /> ' b. On all technical reports, please include a title that identifies the licensed <br /> professional responsible for the adequacy of the field work and contents of the <br /> report. <br /> As stated above, by 15 June 2007, please submit the Revised Master Workplan and the <br /> three stand-alone reports; by 29 June 2007 please submit the Groundwater Well Project <br /> Description Addendum. The City of Lathrop is currently violating WDRs Order No. <br /> R5-2006-0094 because it does not have the groundwater monitoring network required by the <br /> WDRs and therefore the replacement wells must be installed as soon as possible. <br /> W tSu MnwT mJauin\L&Wo_WW-MaR 6MGOUww 5 My 07.da <br />
