Page 7 <br /> Valley Water Board staff recommends following Integrated DNAPL Site Strategy (ITRC, <br /> November 2011) to develop remedial action objectives for the Interim and Final RAPs. <br /> Nestle Response: Comment noted. The revised RAP will incorporate functional objectives. <br /> 9. Please include the groundwater modeling that was performed to support the <br /> groundwater extraction and treatment remedy for the Upper Aquifer zone to the Interim <br /> RAP. It should be added as a new Appendix and include a summary of the <br /> inputs/assumptions, model outputs, and sensitivity analysis. <br /> Nestle Response: The model details will be included as a new Appendix in the IRAP <br /> document. <br /> 10. Section 3 of the Draft RAP is unclear on whether Nestle is planning to submit a design <br /> plan or a well installation work plan or both in support of the proposed groundwater <br /> extraction and treatment system for the Upper Aquifer. Please revise this section to <br /> clarify which documents Nestle plans to submit to Central Valley Water Board staff for <br /> review. <br /> Nestle Response: Based on Water Board staff comments, Nestle now plans to submit an IRAP <br /> document that contains well installation plans and design plans on 30 April 2015. <br /> 11. Based on our review of the WMP in Appendix E, a meeting between the local agencies <br /> (Stanislaus County, San Joaquin County, and City of Ripon), Nestle, and Central Valley <br /> Water Board staff is needed to establish a program that is fully protective and to resolve <br /> any coordination issues in implementing the WMP. Nestle can also use this meeting to <br /> provide an update on planned remedial actions. Please arrange this meeting for the <br /> second quarter of 2015. The WMP refers to many agreements with the City of Ripon, <br /> San Joaquin County, and Stanislaus County that were made in meetings that Central <br /> Valley Water Board staff did not attend. Furthermore, there is no reference to a letter or <br /> meeting minutes that formalize these agreements. When the requested meeting is held <br /> with these local agencies, Nestle needs to document the agreements by distributing <br /> meeting minutes to all attendees. These minutes should also be attached to the Final <br /> WMP. <br /> Nestle Response: Nestle will arrange this meeting, will include Water Board staff in the <br /> coordination effort, and circulate minutes to all attendees. The minutes will be included as an <br /> Appendix to the Final WMP. <br /> 12. One of the key elements of the WMP is the coordination of well permit applications with <br /> Stanislaus County, San Joaquin County, and the City of Ripon. A similar process has <br /> already been in-place in Sacramento County for more than a decade. When Sacramento <br /> County receives a permit application for a well proposed within a known plume or <br /> within 2000 feet of a plume, Sacramento County contacts the Central Valley Water <br /> Board caseworker assigned to that site to obtain information on the plume and feedback <br /> on the proposed well design. In some cases, the caseworker may request that the <br /> responsible party provide their input, which may include modeling the potential impact <br />
