Except for incomplete self- <br /> monitoring reports, we have not received any response to our request. <br /> During the 19 December 1991 meeting, you also indicated that you were unsure <br /> as to what funding would be available for continued operations, maintenance, <br /> and monitoring required to comply with the WDRs and the C&D. Although Victor <br /> has continued operations of its pretreatment plant and injection wells, Victor <br /> has not completed all the required monitoring or submitted the required <br /> Technical Reports including closure plans for all of its ponds. <br /> We are very concerned that failure by Victor to properly close its wastewater <br /> ponds and facilities will exacerbate the existing ground water problem at the <br /> site. In addition to operating and maintaining the pretreatment plant and the <br /> injection well to manage the extracted ground water and remaining production <br /> water, Victor must take action to properly closed its lined and unlined <br /> wastewater ponds as required in its WDRs. <br /> The enclosed Cleanup and Abatement Order directs you to apply corrective <br /> measures forthwith and to begin submitting the required Technical Reports no <br /> later than 1 June 1992. If you have any questions regarding this matter. <br /> please contact Robert Evans at (916) 361-5737. <br /> WILLIAM H.
