We have determined that <br /> both the 2nd and 3rd Quarter Reports are incomplete, therefore, in noncompliance with Waste Discharge <br /> Requirements Order No. 5-01-148. Please respond to the following requirements discussed below: <br /> 1. Dissolved Oxygen (D.O.) is not being reported as required by Waste Discharge Requirements <br /> (WDRs) Order No. 05-01-148, Discharge Specifications C.3. Aeration Stabilization Basins <br /> (ASB)No. 1 and No. 2 are required to have a D.O. measurement of no less than 1.0 mg/l to <br /> comply with WDR, Discharge Specification C.2. D.O. field measurements are required to be <br /> measured monthly. The results shall be compiled in a table format and presented in the monthly <br /> reports. In the past the staff has requested the Discharger to submit D.O. results per the WDRs <br /> and they have not been received. In the March 2006 Monthly Report due on 30 April 2006, <br /> summarize the historical D.O. measurements in table format. Future monthly D.O. measurements <br /> will be added to the historical table and reported in subsequent monthly reports. If the <br /> Discharger fails to comply with WDR 05-01-148, Discharge Specifications C.3, the Board staff <br /> will recommend further enforcement. <br /> 2. The Board staff was not notified and 3`d quarter report did not discuss the improper destruction of <br /> well OB-5 within the text portion of the report. Also, the well was not labeled as destroyed or <br /> "not sampled" (NS) in the appropriate figures. This is a violation of the MRP for not requesting <br /> approval to modify the existing monitoring system or for not properly destroying the well in <br /> accordance with San Joaquin County Public Health Services or Department of Water Resources <br /> water well standards. It is recommended the Discharger provide documentation of and current <br /> disposition of the well's casing, box, and wellhead. The documentation should include pictures. <br /> The Discharger should prepare a work plan to properly destroy and replace well OB-5 so that <br /> water quality near the western boundary of the FR site continues to be monitored.
