MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM NO. R5-2013-0122 MRP-25 ATTACHMENT A EXISTING MILK COW DAIRIES the Representative Monitoring Program. The identification of management practices for the range of conditions must be of sufficient specificity to allow participants covered by the Representative Monitoring Program and the Central Valley Water Board to identify which practices at monitored facilities are appropriate for facilities with a corresponding range of site conditions, and generally where such facilities may be located within the Central Valley (e.g., the summary report may need to include maps of the Central Valley that identify the types of management practices that should be implemented in certain areas based on specified site conditions). The summary report must include an adequate technical justification for the conclusions incorporating available data and reasonable interpretations of geologic and engineering principles to identify management practices protective of groundwater quality. The summary report is subject to approval by the Executive Officer. 11. Assessments of groundwater monitoring data (including the annual reports and the summary report) are to be submitted electronically. Data shall be submitted in an electronic format acceptable to the Executive Officer. 12. On July 1 following Executive Officer approval of the SRMR, each Discharger that is a participant covered by a Representative Monitoring Program shall include in their annual report required in Section C of the MRP a description of management practices currently being implemented at their wastewater retention system(s), land application area(s), and animal confinement area(s). If these management practices are not confirmed to be protective of groundwater quality based on information contained in the SRMR, and therefore are not confirmed to be sufficient to ensure compliance of the facility with Groundwater Limitation F.1 of the Order the Discharger's annual report shall identify which alternative management practices the participant intends to implement at its dairy facility and a schedule for their implementation (based on the findings of the SRMR). Management practices deemed to be protective of groundwater quality are subject to approval by the Executive Officer. With each annual report submitted after the first report following Executive Officer approval of the SRMR, each participant shall include within his or her annual report an update with respect to implementation of the additional or alternative management practices being employed by the Discharger to protect groundwater quality. 13. Within three months of joining a Representative Monitoring Program, each Discharger that is a participant covered by a Representative Monitoring Program shall submit to the Central Valley Water Board a letter stating that they are voluntarily joining the Representative Monitoring Program, they are aware of the conditions and requirements to be a member of the Program, they intend to fully comply with the monitoring and reporting program and intent of the Program, and they are fully aware failure to comply with the Program may result in their removal from the Program and that they may be subject to enforcement by the Central Valley Water Board.
