1 <br /> FOX RIVER PAPER COMP RIPON - 3 - <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Water quality beneath Fox River exceeds the applicable water quality goals. As an example, TDS is as <br /> high as 1230 mg/L, chloride at 526 mg/L, and SC at 2030 µmhos/cm in monitoring well TH-1 based on <br /> October 2003 data. Monitoring well OB-1 shows a trend of increasing concentrations of SC, TDS, <br /> chloride, sulfate, calcium, sodium,potassium, and bicarbonate. We appreciate Fox River's efforts to <br /> improve effluent waste water quality that is discharged to land as a corrective action; nevertheless, this <br /> has not reduced the concentrations of constituents in the groundwater. <br /> As stated in the Monitoring and Reporting Program Order No. 5-01-148 the facility is in a Corrective <br /> Action monitoring program. Because Fox River's efforts have not improved water quality we require <br /> Fox River submit an amended report of waste discharge (RWD) that includes a detailed description of <br /> proposed corrective action measures that will be taken to achieve compliance with the Water Standard <br /> proposed in this letter. Once the RVND is found complete, Board staffproposes to revise the VArDRs. <br /> We require Fox River submit the amended RWD by 10 November 2004 (180 days). <br /> If you have any <br /> questions,please contact me at 916-464-4737. <br /> KIM A.
