This report was <br /> submitted as a requirement of Title 27 California Code of Regulations Section 20415 and to comply <br /> with Reporting Requirement E.2.Task f(ii) of Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. R5-2004-0157. <br /> The Discharger proposes to drill three 50-foot borings, and two 100-foot borings using a hollow stem <br /> auger. In addition,three borings will be advanced to at least 50-feet using CPT. The data from these <br /> borings will be used to evaluate the impacts of salt in the vadose zone directly beneath the ponds, and to <br /> establish the geotechnical properties of the soils within the existing ponds and beneath the <br /> impoundments. Staff expects that this data will be presented in the forthcoming closure plan. Any <br /> modifications from this plan must be submitted in writing for concurrence. Prior to completing the <br /> investigation,the Discharger must abandon all boreholes in compliance with all applicable regulations. <br /> Staff concurs with the presented strategy, and expects the discharger to proceed immediately with the <br /> investieation. <br /> The Regional Board looks forward to working with SMS Briners on their compliance issues.
