(FCE) and determined that it is inadequate. The workplan was prepared in response to a 28 April 2003 California Water Code (CWC) Section 13267 Order for Technical Reports. The CWC 13267 Order stated, "Failure to submit the above reports, or submission of inadequate reports or late reports, may result in enforcement action including fines of up to $1,000 per day." Regional Board staff also commented on the need for additional groundwater monitoring wellsatthe facility in a 28 July 2003 Response to Additional Monitoring Well Inquiry which slated,"The request for a delay is denied; the installation of additional groundwater monitoring wells is necessary to evaluate the impact that the wastewater application may have on groundwater quality." The scope of groundwater monitoring as required by the.Regional Board has been clearly stated in the 10 December 2002 Revised WDRs, the 28 April 2003, CWC 13267 Order for Technical Reports, and the 28 July 2003 Response to Additional Monitoring Well Inquiry correspondence. The workplan submitted does not adequately address the criteria presented in the Regional Board documents. Staff has identified the following deficiencies in the workplan: • Figure 1 does not identify the locations of all the land application areas that are presently in use. Please revise the figure to present all the active land application areas. The March 2002 Report of Waste Discharge identified Vineyards No. 1, 2, and 3 as active areas for wastewater disposal. At a minimum, all active land application areas must be monitored. Please revise the workplan accordingly. • The workplan proposes the;installation of two wells in an area north of the 12-acre land application area, and the text describes the well locations as upgradient of the site. However, the proposed locations are downgradient of Vineyard'No. 3 (an active land application area) so they will not provide upgradient water quality information. Please review the status of the vineyards, clarify if the areas have been used as land application areas and revise the well locations as required.
