CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> REVISED MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM NO. 5-01-148 <br /> FOR <br /> FOX VALLEY CORPORATION <br /> AND <br /> FOX RIVER PAPER COMPANY <br /> RIPON MILL <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Compliance with this Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP), and with the companion Standard <br /> Provisions and Reporting Requirements, is ordered by Waste Discharge Requirements Order <br /> No. 5-01-148. Failure to comply with this Program, or with the Standard Provisions and Reporting <br /> Requirements dated August 1997, constitutes noncompliance with the WDRs and with the Water Code, <br /> which can result in the imposition of civil monetary liability. <br /> Existing monitoring wells show that the past discharge from the Ripon Mill has degraded groundwater <br /> quality. Based on process changes, the Discharger has made substantial improvements in the quality of <br /> wastewater discharged from the Ripon Mill. However, effluent discharged to the Aeration Stabilization <br /> Basins #1 and 42 contain constituents of concern (COCs) above the Basin Plan Water Quality <br /> Objectives and the approved water quality protection standards. <br /> This MRP is a Corrective Action Monitoring Program, the purpose of which is to determine whether <br /> future measures taken by the Discharger are sufficient to clean up the effects of past and current waste <br /> discharges to ground water and to determine if the continued discharge of wastewater to land needs to be <br /> contained in a waste management unit described in the California Code of Regulations, Title 27 (Title <br /> 27). <br /> A. REPORTING <br /> The Discharger shall report monitoring data and infonnation as required in this Monitoring and Reporting <br /> Program and as required in the Standard Provisions and Reporting Requirements (1997). Reports which <br /> do not comply with the required format will be REJECTED and the Discharger shall be deemed to be <br /> in noncompliance with the WDRs. In reporting the monitoring data required by this program,the <br /> Discharger shall arrange the data in tabular form so that the date, the constituents, the concentrations, <br /> and the units are readily discernible. The data shall be summarized in such a manner so as to illustrate <br /> clearly the compliance with waste discharge requirements or the lack thereof. <br /> Historical and current monitoring data shall be graphed at least once annually. Graphs for the same <br /> constituent shall be plotted at the same scale to facilitate visual comparison of monitoring data. A short <br /> discussion of the monitoring results, including notations of any water quality violations shall precede the <br /> tabular summaries. Data shall also be submitted in a digital format acceptable to the Executive Officer. <br /> Method detection limits and practical quantitation limits shall be reported. All peaks shall be reported, <br /> including those which cannot be quantified and/or specifically identified. Field and laboratory tests <br />
