Mr. Dennis Zaragoza - 2 - October 15, 2007 t Public Notice Process. 1. The Regional Water Board requires that two separate documents be provided. The first document will be the draft RAP Fact Sheet. The second document will be a stand alone, draft final RAP, which may become a final RAP after the 30 day public comment period, and if all questions or concerns submitted during that period can be addressed without future revisions. 2. Once the Regional Water Board has concurred with the draft RAP Fact Sheet, the RAP Fact Sheet can be finalized, and the 30-day public comment period should begin. The Fact Sheet should be public noticed in the local newspaper, and distributed to the surrounding businesses and residences. The Regional Water Board concurs with the preferred manner for distributing the Final Fact Sheet, which is hand delivery to surrounding businesses and residences within a two-block radius of the Site. 3. The "CLEANUP GOAL" section of both the fact sheet and draft final RAP should contain the following language: "Pursuant to Resolution 92-49, the Regional Water Board is required to ensure that the discharger cleanup to "background" unless that is not reasonable and at minimum cleanup to the level that is economically and technically feasible and meets water quality objectives. This means that in orders issued pursuant to Water Code section 13304, the Regional Water Board does not typically set forth the final cleanup levels; rather it provides the discharger with the information about the applicable water quality objectives, but defers the decision on when to "close" the site based on information provided by the discharger. In many cases, a site may be closed before it meets the applicable objectives, where, for example it is not reasonably feasible to achieve more cleanup in a cost-effective way and the site will naturally degrade or attenuate in a reasonable time. 4. On April 27, 2007, the Regional Water Board concurred with the proposal to install one additional deep monitoring well, and with the proposed location near the corner of E. Walnut and S. Main. Well installation will begin within the next two weeks, and E2C will provide the Regional Water Board at least one week notice of the field work commencement. The deep well installation report can be included with the Fourth Quarter Groundwater Monitoring Report to be submitted in early 2008. 5. During the Fourth Quarter Groundwater Monitoring event, the Regional Water Board will collect a set of split groundwater samples from the Key Monitoring Wells as described on page 15 of the Pay for performance Contract.
