Review of <br /> Chart 10 shows a seasonal trend in the Dodge well . No other trends , seasonal or otherwise, <br /> can be ascertained from the data over time . The highest concentrations , with few exceptions, <br /> have generally been from the Eason well . According to San Joaquin County Flood Control and <br /> Water Conservation District reports and the deep aquifer gradients calculated by Kleinfelder's <br /> monitoring of DP-1 through DP-3 to date , flow of the deeper aquifer is towards the southwest. <br /> Based on the data plotted , it appears that the source(s) of nitrates in the deep aquifer is <br /> located off site in the area of the Dodge and Eason wells. <br /> 5.2 SURFACE WATER MONITORING <br /> The RWQCB's Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) No. 97-811 requires that "Visual <br /> inspections shall be made daily at all points at which surface runoff may leave the nursery and <br /> enter Potter Creek. These discharge points include , but are not limited to , the pipes from the <br /> tailwater holding pond (Basin A and B) and the roadside drainage ditch along Escalon Bellota <br /> Road . " The MRP required sampling of 3 locations in addition to all discharge locations. <br /> Included in the surface water discussion is the dewatering discharge . While it is technically <br /> groundwater, it is discharged to a basin on site. Norman 's Nursery has consistently exceeded <br /> the number of monitoring locations required . <br /> Surface water monitoring and visual - inspections were conducted by Norman's Nursery <br /> personnel . A discussion of the flows, observations and chemical results are detailed in the <br /> following sections of this report. For a summary of the flows and chemical results , please refer <br /> to Tables 4 and 5 beneath the "Tables" tab of this report. <br /> 5 . 2. 1 Surface Water Flow <br /> Surface water was observed by Norman 's Nursery staff at specified locations from October 1 <br /> through December 21 , 2012 . Flow rates were monitored for a total of 82 days during the <br /> quarter. Normans Nursery was closed from December 22 through December 31 . Surface <br /> water flow data is shown in Table 4 in the Appendix. <br /> The following table describes the surface water monitoring locations . <br /> 117226 .E02/ST013R0176 Page 25 of 40 January 31 , 2013 <br /> Copyright 2013 Kleinfelder - <br />
