KLE/NFELDER <br /> �i a„4naow,.A;9n:o ,;o <br /> • 9. Influent water samples will be collected and analyzed on an annual basis. <br /> The Norman's staff collects surface water samples entering the site from the <br /> south (Duarte property) when applicable. <br /> This BMP has been implemented as modified above. <br /> 10.The non-operational Windmill Well was properly abandoned in accordance <br /> with State and local water well regulations. <br /> This BMP was completed by Purviance Well Drilling in late October <br /> 1998. <br /> 11. Norman's Nursery will plant River Birch along the western and northern <br /> perimeters of Basin B. The water loving trees will increase the uptake of <br /> shallow groundwater near the perimeter of the basin. In addition, the variety <br /> of trees may also aid in reducing the concentration of nitrates reported in <br /> groundwater beneath the site. <br /> • <br /> In April 1998, Norman's Nursery completed planting approximately 90 <br /> European White Birch (sp. Betula Pendula) along the north and east <br /> edges of Basin B. According to the nursery's experts, the trees are <br /> hydrophilic. However, like the adjacent orchards, it may take time for <br /> the root ball to develop to greater depths and have a significant effect. <br /> 12.Norman's Nursery plans on grouping certain plant groups together, based <br /> upon water usage and needs. Hydrophilic plants will be grouped together, as <br /> will drought resistant plants, etc. This should allow for a further reduction in <br /> irrigation volume in several areas of the nursery. These plant grouping <br /> procedures are reportedly ongoing. <br /> This BMP was implemented during the winter of 1997-1998. For <br /> example, when the nursery receives its bare root plants, they are placed <br /> in the nursery according to the plants' water requirements. Older trees <br /> that are root bound and require more water were moved and <br /> • <br /> 117226.E021ST012RO696 Page 32 of 43 September 14, 2012 <br /> Copyright 2012 Kleinfelder <br />
