Mr. Ben Hall -4 - 17 September 2004 <br /> Musco Family Olive Company <br /> groundwater, even when self-monitoring data clearly show the impact has been significant and probably <br /> irreversible. To document the extent to which Musco's discharge has loaded soils with salt constituents, <br /> Musco should present(a) a history the land application fields (i.e., identify for each field when discharge <br /> was initiated and, if applicable, when it used to compost olive leaves or used as a disposal site for pond <br /> silt); (b)tabulate the annual loadings (lbs/acre-year) of IDS, sodium, and chloride,to each land <br /> application field since discharge was initiated; and(c) quantify the estimated additional loadings <br /> (lbs/acre-year) of IDS, sodium, and chloride to each field resulting from the proposed discharge. It is <br /> appropriate for the RWD to contain this information since, until Musco implements salt reduction <br /> treatment, high salinity wastewater will continue to be discharged to the land application fields. <br /> Olive Leaf Discharge. Musco has not provided sufficient information demonstrating that it can conduct <br /> the olive leaf discharge in a manner that does not threaten to load soil with excessive nitrogen. <br /> While we require additional technical information to complete tentative waste discharge requirements, <br /> given the commitment of Musco to this strategy to come into compliance with the Water Code, staff will <br /> begin to develop the requirements prior to the receipt of additional information. <br /> *BEVORIS <br /> eer <br /> Enclosure A: 17 September 2004 Memorandum from Jo Anne Kipps to Bert E.
