Based on our review, the <br /> Discharger did not comply with the WDRs or Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP). <br /> Influent Monitoring Violations <br /> The MRP requires that Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) be measured daily in Leprino's <br /> discharge to the holding pond.

The MRP requires Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Volatile Dissolved Solids (VDS) be <br /> measured monthly for Ponds. However, results were not reported for July 2013. <br /> 2. The MRP requires Freeboard, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH, Specific Conductance, Total <br /> Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Volatile Dissolved Solids (VDS) be measured weekly for the <br /> Ponds. However, results were not reported for Pond 3 in February 2014. <br /> Groundwater Monitoring Violations <br /> 1. The First quarter 2013 monitoring report did not include the calculated values for the <br /> gradient or gradient direction as required by the MRP. <br /> 2.
