Originally, five monitoring wells at four locations were planned <br /> to accomplish these objectives. However,significant modifications have been necessary to <br /> the initially planned monitoring well locations. These modifications, as further described <br /> below, were necessary because the property owner(the owner of the property south of <br /> Littlejohns Creek and adjacent to the western border of SMS Briners, Arnold Sousa, has <br /> indicated firm opposition when an inquiry was made to him concerning well installation on <br /> his property). <br /> Proposed Monitoring Well Locations <br /> Based on the historical record for ground-water Flow directions and the estimated extent of <br /> ground-water quality impacts in the shallow and deep zones (LSCS, 2003), the initially <br /> proposed locations for the new facilities were as follows: <br /> • Shallow Completion: approximately 600 feet west-southwest of the southwest corner <br /> of the south pond, <br /> • Shallow Completion: approximately 750 feet east of the northeastern corner of the <br /> north pond,just west of the access road to the facility, <br /> • Deep and Shallow Completions: approximately 750 feet northwest of the <br /> northwestern corner of the north pond, <br /> 500 F:r�t st'oet Wnnt3'snt}, CA 9Se,435.ACrPF3 • 53n.Rnl F39fW4 • t <br />
