When this <br /> happens, the dewatering wells must either be shut down or the water diverted <br /> to holding tanks to limit the flow of the high nitrate-nitrogen concentration <br /> ' water from entering Potter Creek. <br /> This BMP is still being used as modified above. <br /> 6. Norman's Nursery installed a calibrated depth gauge in on-site Basin B. The <br /> gauge is read daily. This data is useful in assessing the water loss from the <br /> basin because of evaporation and infiltration. <br /> ' The water level measuring gauge was removed during maintenance of <br /> ' the basin in October of 2003 and should be replaced to implement this <br /> BMP. <br /> ' 7. Norman's Nursery collects and analyzes water samples from the on-site run- <br /> off basin monthly. Water from the discharge of the dewatering wells also is <br /> pumped to the Basin B and sampled weekly. The samples are analyzed for <br /> nitrate concentrations. KI-Nitrifier (a biological additive which increases nitrate <br /> consumption in the basin) is added when high concentrations of nitrate are <br /> reported in the samples. Basin water is reused in water trucks onsite for dust <br /> control, as needed. <br /> This BMP is still being used. <br /> 8. Quarterly, the water contained in Basin B is sampled and analyzed for nitrate. <br /> This BMP has been implemented for nitrates-nitrogen and ammonia- <br /> nitrogen analysis; and only when the culverts are closed and Basin B <br /> contains irrigation tailwater. Otherwise, the discharge from Basin B is <br /> sampled (see MRP by the RWQCB). <br /> ' Pa e 30 of 42 September 11, 2012 <br /> 117226.E021ST012 R0693 9 <br /> Copyright 2012 Kleinfelder <br />
