KLEINFELDER <br /> 3 BACKGROUND <br /> California Nuggets has voluntarily requested that a baseline groundwater assessment be <br /> conducted at the site for future development of WDRs and supporting data for a pending ROWD <br /> being prepared by Nolte and Associates. The following is given as a summary of minimum <br /> requirements usually requested by the RWQCB. <br /> 1. A description of the types of soil underlying the planned effluent disposal area <br /> including stratigraphy, soil classification (Uniform Soil Classification System, <br /> USCS, is preferred), estimated permeability, and other factors relevant to vadose <br /> zone fluid mobility. <br /> 2. The approximate depth from the existing ground surface to the groundwater table <br /> including (if available) expected seasonal variations. <br /> 3. Typical Groundwater Flow gradient. <br /> 4. Analytical data for at least three shallow groundwater samples obtained in the <br /> upgradient and down-gradient ends of the planned wastewater disposal area. <br /> Samples shall be collected from the first groundwater encountered, and may be <br /> obtained by use of monitoring wells. <br /> The processes for preparing the com nut product includes softening the corn skins in a lime <br /> solution. Process water is currently softened with sodium. The current wastewater volume <br /> generated is approximately 14,000 gallons per day. Skin solids are separated from the current <br /> waste stream prior to discharge to the ponds or sprayfield. Solid waste is sold off-site for <br /> livestock feed use. <br /> 50890.EO1/ST05R358/IDZ:ly Page 3 of 12 <br /> 0 2005,Kleinfelder,Inc. April 29,2005 <br />
