P <br /> 0 U <br /> t. REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE: submit a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) <br /> to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board 180 days prior to the start of <br /> any activity on site. <br /> u. SEISMIC SAFETY: If strong seismic shaking is experienced at the project site as <br /> the result of a moderate to large earthquake (M 6 or greater) along the CRSBBZ, <br /> the project site shall be inspected by a qualified licensed civil or geotechnical <br /> engineer to determine if liquefaction or seismic subsidence has occurred and <br /> resulted in visible damage to reclaimed lands. A report, including recommendations <br /> to repair any damage that may have occurred, shall be submitted to the <br /> Development Services Division for review and approval. Upon approval by the <br /> Development Services Division, the proponent shall implement the <br /> recommendations set forth in the report. <br /> v. PROCESSING PONDS: Install two monitoring wells to a depth of ten feet below the <br /> invert elevation of the Delta-Mendota Canal. A registered engineer or geologist <br /> shall design the monitoring wells. The wells shall be located between the Phase 1 <br /> sedimentation ponds and the Delta-Mendota Canal for monitoring of any shallow <br /> perched groundwater. The applicant shall monitor water levels quarterly to ensure <br /> that if a zone of saturation forms beneath the canal, it does not rise to a level higher <br /> than the invert of the canal. The quarterly monitoring reports shall be sent annually <br /> to the Development Services Division of the County Community Development <br /> Department and recommended corrective actions, if necessary. Such monitoring <br /> wells are not required if sedimentation ponds are maintained below the invert <br /> elevation of the Delta-Mendota Canal or the California Aqueduct. <br /> w. SOIL RECONSTRUCTION PLAN: The applicant shall be required to submit a soil <br /> reconstruction plan prepared by a qualified soil scientist which establishes specific <br /> procedures for the amendment of soil used for agricultural reclamation at the project <br /> site. The plan shall present recommendations for suitable soil texture and the types <br /> and application rates of soil amendment products. At a minimum, the upper three <br /> feet reconstruction surface soils shall have an organic content of one percent. The <br /> plan shall demonstrate that potential migration of amendments to surface water or <br /> groundwater shall not result in reduction of water quality. In addition, the plan shall <br /> provide for procedures and specifications for a soil fertility and crop productivity <br /> monitoring program for test plots within the Phase I mining/reclamation area. <br /> Productivity goals shall be established on the basis of crop productivity of adjacent <br /> lands currently under agricultural production. <br /> A soil sample analysis from an independent laboratory shall be submitted for two- <br /> foot and four-foot depths (five random sample locations per 100 acres) of reclaimed <br /> soil. The analysis shall demonstrate that a minimum of 85 percent of the soil <br /> samples meet the specifications of the Soil Reconstruction Plan. <br /> x. CULTURAL RESOURCES: The excavator shall cease all construction and <br /> excavation work immediately upon the discovery of cultural resource material. <br /> Such work shall cease until the excavator has complied with the requirements of <br /> Appendix K of the CEQA Guidelines. <br /> y. INDEMNIFICATION: The owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the <br /> local agency or its agent and employees from any claim, action or proceeding <br /> against the local agency or its agents, officers, or employees to attach, set aside, <br />
