1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report documents and presents the results of the groundwater monitoring performed in 2021 at the Glory Hole Recreation Area Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) at New Melones Reservoir. The first semi-annual monitoring event was performed during the first calendar quarter of 2021. The second semi-annual monitoring event (annual event) was performed during the third calendar quarter of 2021. During third quarter sampling event, groundwater samples were collected from the eight (8) groundwater monitoring wells in accordance with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (CVRWQCB) Revised Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) No. 2014-0153-DWQ-R5273 dated December 12, 2018.

During first quarter sampling event conducted in March 2021, depth-to-groundwater in the monitoring wells ranged from approximately 4 to 10.5 feet shallower in comparison to the third quarter results in 2020. The third quarter sampling was performed in August 2021. Water level measurements indicated an increase in depth to groundwater in the monitoring wells, due to decrease in precipitation. This is consistent with trends from past monitoring events where groundwater is typically shallower during the first and second quarters, and deeper during the third quarters. Although groundwater elevations were different for the two monitoring events, the groundwater gradients and gradient directions were similar.

The analytical results during the first and third quarters 2021 were generally consistent with historical trends. Total dissolved solids (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) exceeded recommended groundwater limitations in groundwater samples collected from well GH-MW1.

Total coliforms were detected in wells GH-MW4 and SF-MW1 during the first quarter 2021. Total coliforms were detected in well SF-MW3 during the third quarter 2021.

MRP No. 2014-0153-DWQ-R5273 does not require monitoring or sampling the two (2) water supply wells (Primary Supply Well and Secondary Supply Well). Therefore, the water supply wells will no longer be monitored or sampled during the semi-annual or annual monitoring events.

Recommendation: Reclamation is recommending the use of No-Purge Sampling technique for the semi-annual and annual events. It is recommended that No-Purge Sampling starts during the first quarter 2022 groundwater monitoring event.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The New Melones Reservoir is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills, approximately 65 miles southeast of Sacramento and 40 miles east of Stockton as shown on Figure 1. It is a multi-purpose reservoir owned and operated by Reclamation. The reservoir provides water storage for irrigation, flood control, hydropower, and recreation activities. Reclamation owns and operates a WWTF on the north side of the reservoir, which accepts wastewater from throughout the Glory Hole Recreation Area as shown on Figure 2. The Glory Hole entrance kiosk is located on Whittle Road, approximately 2.1 miles south of the intersection of Whittle Road and Highway 49. The WWTF’s ponds are located approximately 850 feet west southwest of the kiosk on a hillside approximately

350 feet above the reservoir’s normal operating water surface (Figure 3). The bottom of the ponds is at an approximate elevation of 1425 feet msl.

The WWTF began treating wastewater in 1984 from the Glory Hole Recreation Area, which serves two campgrounds, four (4) day use areas, and a marina concessionaire. Contributing sources of wastewater include restrooms, showers, fish cleaning stations, floating portable toilets, a RV trailer waste dump station, and a marina. Although, waste is currently not accepted from the RV trailer dump station and marina. The wastewater treatment system consists of a force main sanitary collection system and two wastewater treatment lagoons (ponds). Eight lift stations pump wastewater to the facility and the wastewater is discharged into Pond 1. Lift Station #8 is furthest downstream station (closest upstream station) to the ponds as shown on Figure 4 and Appendix A

- Photos 1 and 2. Wastewater flows from Pond 1 to Pond 2 by an interconnecting weir (Appendix A - Photo 4). The ponds, which have a combined capacity of approximately 3.47 million gallons, are lined with an 80-mil HDPE membrane to prevent wastewater from percolating into the subsurface and promotes evaporation (Appendix A - Photo 5). Land application areas (two spray fields) were constructed east of the ponds for disposal of treated wastewater (Figure 4 and Appendix A - Photo 6); however, they have not been used since 2008 as the ponds have adequate capacity to achieve zero discharge through evaporation of wastewater. As-built drawings for the ponds and spray fields are included in Appendix B.

The CVRWQCB is the lead regulatory agency responsible for protecting beneficial use of waters of the State, and for mandating monitoring requirements for WWTF operations that have the potential to negatively impact waters of the State. The objective of the WDR/MRP is to establish a monitoring program for assessment of the impact of WWTF operations on the beneficial use of waters of the State. The current MRP (MRP No. 2014-0153-DWQ-R5273) requires monthly monitoring and quarterly reporting of the pond wastewater; annual sampling and reporting of the influent; and semiannual monitoring and reporting of groundwater. Influent samples are collected from Lift Station #8, pond samples are collected from the Pond 1, and groundwater samples are collected from eight monitoring wells shown on Figures 4 and 5.

The monitoring wells were installed in June 2003 and groundwater monitoring has been performed since July 2003. Monitoring well construction details are shown on Table 1.

Groundwater monitoring includes: measuring depth to groundwater; purging; measuring pH, temperature, and electrical conductivity (EC) during purging; collection and laboratory analysis of samples, and semiannual reporting. Table 2 lists the semi-annual constituents to be analyzed per MRP No. 2014-0153-DWQ-R5273.

3.0 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY

New Melones Reservoir is located within the foothills of the Sierra Nevada geomorphic province, which is primarily composed of Jurassic age [approximately 145 to 200 million years (Ma)] igneous (granitic) and metamorphic (metasedimentary and metavolcanic) rocks as shown on Figure 6.

Faulting uplifted the Sierra Nevada province approximately 4 to 5 Ma, tiling it westward.

The WWTF area is bounded by a series of northwest trending strike-slip faults of the Melones Fault Zone and Bear Mountains Fault. The ages of the faults range from Late Quaternary (less than

700,000 years) to pre-Quaternary (greater than 2.6 Ma). Faulting has tilted and folded some of the geologic units, resulting in numerous anticlines and synclines throughout the region (Figure 6).

Geologic logs of drill holes advanced at the site, in which the monitoring wells were installed in, indicate a thin surficial layer of Quaternary-age clayey soil and/or colluvium is present to depths between 1 and 8.5 feet. The soil/colluvium is underlain by Jurassic-age rock consisting of two major rock groups: fractured and foliated metasediments (slate) and metavolcanics (greenstone).

The type of rock at a particular location varies with depth and may be controlled by faults and/or folding. For example, greenstone is underlain by slate at monitoring well GH-MW1; however, the opposite occurs at monitoring well GH-MW2. First groundwater was encountered in fractured and foliated (parallel alignment of the rock structure) rock at depths between 17.5 to 139 feet during drilling. Static/equilibrated groundwater has ranged from artesian (approximately 1 foot above ground surface in SF-MW2) to approximately 150 feet below ground surface (bgs) in GH-MW1.

Based on well development and sampling, groundwater recovery is low in all but well GH-MW4.

Recharge in most wells range from less than 1 gallon per minute (gpm) to 3 gpm. Recharge in GH- MW4 is estimated to be about 20 gpm. Groundwater gradient directions are generally opposite to perpendicular of topography. The orientation and continuity of fractures and foliation are unknown, but likely play a major role in controlling groundwater conditions at the site. Other undocumented geologic features such as faults and folds may also control groundwater conditions.

A diagrammatic cross section was prepared along a nearly east to west aligned transect that bisects the site (Figures 7 and 8). The objective of the section is to illustrate the normal reservoir water surface elevation, general topography, general geologic conditions, well screened intervals, and depths to groundwater. The following discussion summarizes information shown on the section:

The WWTF is located in a saddle between two ridge lines (Appendix A - Photo 7). A seasonally flowing creek is located at the low point of the saddle, which drains southerly into the reservoir.

The ponds are on a hillside that slopes toward the east. The normal reservoir water surface elevation is approximately 350 feet below the bottom of the ponds. The spray fields are located on a hillside that slopes toward the west.

Monitoring wells are screened in fractured rock and extend to depths between approximately 27 and 150 feet, or approximately between 48 and 136 feet below the bottom of the ponds. The top of wells screens are between approximately 27 and 115 feet below the bottom of the ponds. Table 1 provides a summary of the groundwater monitoring well construction details. Photos 4 and 6 through 12 in Appendix A show the well locations. The groundwater gradient is generally opposite of topography and is steep, ranging in depth between approximately 40 and 110 feet directly below the ponds. The groundwater gradient is generally mimic the topography and gentler east of the ponds and beneath the spray fields.

4.0 GROUNDWATER QUALITY STANDARDS

The constituents to be analyzed in groundwater samples as set forth in MRP No. 2014-0153-DWQ- R5273 are listed in Table 2. The WDR provides the maximum allowable concentrations (limitations) for some of the constituents as listed in Table 3. The CVRWQCB directed Reclamation to use drinking water quality goals or background water quality concentrations (whichever values are higher) as a basis for comparison for those constituents without limitations. Therefore, Reclamation used the State Water Resources Control Board’s “A Compilation of Water Quality Goals” online database to determine drinking water quality goals for those constituents that do not have limitations listed in the WDR as presented in Table 3. Constituents that do not have published federal or state drinking water quality goals include sodium and zinc.

5.0 UP-GRADIENT (BACKGROUND) GROUNDWATER QUALITY

An exceedance of a groundwater quality standards does not necessarily indicate that wastewater has impacted groundwater quality. Up-gradient conditions, migration pathways, and geologic structure must also be considered in assessing impact on groundwater quality. Constituents with elevated concentrations can be naturally occurring and/or the result of up-gradient activities.

The monitoring wells are screened at elevations that are lower than the bottom of the ponds;

therefore, the wells have varying degrees of probability to intercept wastewater if the ponds were to leak. Wells SF-Background and SF-MW3 were installed at a distance from the ponds for groundwater in the wells to be considered representative of background water quality. Well SF- Background is located approximately 650 feet northeast of Pond 2 and Well SF-MW3 is located approximately 300 feet north-northeast of Pond 2. Both wells of are located hydraulically up-gradient of the ponds and constituents of concern are seldom detected in these wells at concentrations greater than their respective groundwater quality standards. As discussed in the Technical Report, dated December 1, 2012, Wells SF-Background and SF- MW3 would not likely intercept wastewater percolating into the subsurface from beneath the ponds and as such, are considered “background” or up-gradient wells.

6.0 WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR CERTIFICATION

In accordance with the MRP and Title 23, CCR. Division 3, Chapter 26, the operator’s certification is included in Appendix C.

7.0 WATER SUPPLY WELL MONITORING

A groundwater well designated as “primary well” is used to supply potable water to Glory Hole Recreation Area. A “secondary well” serves as a backup, if needed. These two (2) wells are located approximately 1,000 feet south-southeast of the wastewater treatment ponds as shown on Figure 4. The ground surface at the water supply wells is approximately 50 feet lower than the bottom of the ponds. The wells are located hydraulically cross-gradient to down-gradient of the ponds. It appears that the drilling contractor who installed the wells submitted a Well Completion

Report for only one of the wells to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) but the Report does not specify which well. The well completion report does indicate that the well was installed in November 2004 to a depth of 1,020 feet. The well is screened in fractured greenstone, and in underlying foliated schist.

The water supply wells are sampled monthly for total coliforms (county and/or state requirements). Monthly sampling is not a requirement of the WDR/MRP; therefore, the sampling results are not included in this report. Monthly sampling results were included in previous semi-annual and annual groundwater monitoring reports. Total coliforms were not detected in either well dating back to at least 2010.

In accordance with the WDR/MRP, the water supply wells were sampled annually for EC, pH, and standard minerals. Annual sampling was performed during the third quarter of each year when peak recreational use of the Glory Hole Recreation Area occurs. The CVRWQCB MRP No.

2014-0153-DWQ-R5273 dated December 12, 2018 does not require monitoring or sampling the water supply wells.

8.0 INFLUENT MONITORING

Lift Station #8 pumps wastewater into Pond 1 (Figure 4 and Appendix A - Photo 1). Lift Station #8 is sampled monthly and samples are analyzed for a variety of constituents. Monthly reports were submitted to the CVRWQCB.

In the past, the only constituents analyzed in both Lift Station #8 and monitoring wells was formaldehyde and total phenols. Analyzing for these constituents in pond samples assisted in evaluating whether wastewater contained sufficiently high enough concentrations to impact groundwater quality and account for concentrations detected in the wells. As required in the previously MRP (June 2010) formaldehyde and total phenols were first analyzed in influent samples from Lift Station #8 in July 2010. Unusually high concentrations of these two constituents were detected in samples from Lift Station #8 during first, second, and fourth quarters of 2013. The MPR dated April 2013 did not require formaldehyde and total phenols be analyzed in influent samples from Lift Station #8 (beginning in June 2013). However, Reclamation elected to voluntarily analyze samples from Lift Station #8 monthly for a two year period for these two constituents to evaluate whether elevated concentrations detected in 2013 were isolated occurrences. Elevated concentrations of these two constituents were not detected during the subsequent two years of monitoring. For this reason, Reclamation ceased voluntary monitoring of wastewater from Lift Station #8. Analytical summary tables of Lift Station #8 sampling are included in the 2015 annual report.

9.0 LAGOON (POND) MONITORING

The WWTF lagoons (ponds) were monitored weekly (field parameter sampling and pond liner condition). The liners were reported as intact and in good condition. Monthly reports were submitted to the CVRWQCB.

Elevated concentrations of TDS, iron, and manganese were detected in down-gradient wells GH- MW1 and GH-MW2. Reclamation voluntarily analyzed samples from Pond 2 for these constituents intermittently between July 2014 and June 2015 to assist in evaluating whether wastewater contained sufficiently high enough concentrations to impact groundwater quality and account for concentrations detected in the wells.

Due to the lack of water, GH-MW1 was only sampled once and GH-MW2 was only sampled twice between July 2014 and June 2015. Pond 2 was sampled eight times during this period. Wastewater in the ponds contained high concentrations of TDS that could impact groundwater quality and to account for concentrations detected in the wells. However, with the exception of August 2014, wastewater did not contain high concentrations of iron and manganese to account for concentrations detected in the wells. As such, Reclamation voluntarily ceased monitoring wastewater from Pond 2. Analytical results for Pond 2 sampling were included in the 2015 annual report.

10.0 DISPOSAL OF SLUDGE AND/OR SOLID WASTE

Sludge and/or solid waste has not been disposed of following installation of the pond liners in 2003. Photos 2 and 3 show accumulated sludge in the ponds on January 29, 2015.

11.0 SPRAY FIELDS STATUS

Wastewater disposal was accomplished by evaporation of the ponds; therefore, the spray fields were not used in 2021. The spray fields were last used in 2008.

12.0 2021 GROUNDWATER MONITORING

Alisto Engineering Group (Alisto) performed two (2) groundwater monitoring events in 2021. Semi-annual groundwater monitoring was performed in March and a report of findings (2021 Semi- Annual Groundwater Monitoring Report) dated July 2021 was submitted to the CVRWQCB. The annual monitoring was performed in August 2021. Findings of the annual monitoring are discussed in the following sections.

12.1 First and Third Quarters 2021 Groundwater Depths, Elevations, and Gradients

Depth to groundwater was measured prior to purging and sampling each well. During the first and third quarters 2021, measurements were using a conductivity-based water level meter. The need to provide a snapshot of groundwater elevations in all wells prior to any purging and sampling was not necessary due to the use of low flow purging that minimized groundwater withdraw. To reduce the potential for cross contamination, the water level meter was cleaned and rinsed with deionized water, and new Nitrile gloves were donned between wells. Depth to water in each well was measured to the nearest 0.01 foot from the surveyed notch on the top of well casing. Measurements were recorded on groundwater sampling logs (Appendix D). Depths to groundwater were between 9.42 feet below ground surface (bgs) in SF-MW2 and 141.81 feet bgs in GH-MW1 during the third quarter. Depth to groundwater measurements are summarized on Table 4.

The equilibrated groundwater surfaces in GH-MW1, GH-MW2 and SF-MW1 were within the well screen intervals, and were above the well screen interval for the remainder of the wells. The presence of groundwater in wells above the screened interval indicates subsurface pressure exists and does not necessarily indicate groundwater is present in the subsurface at the measured depth.

Water enters the wells through the screen and the measured depth to groundwater is considered a potentiometric surface that represents the depth groundwater stabilizes at (in an open hole), once subsurface pressure and atmospheric pressure reach equilibrium. The WWTF is located near a hilltop, about 300 feet higher than the maximum reservoir elevation (Figure 3).

Potentiometric elevations were calculated by subtracting depth to groundwater measurements from the surveyed top of well casing elevations. During first quarter 2021 potentiometric elevations varied between approximately 1409 feet mean sea level (msl) and 1319 feet msl (Figure 9). The bottom of the ponds is at an approximate elevation of 1425 feet msl; therefore, the potentiometric surface was estimated to have been between approximately 16 and 106 feet beneath the bottom of the ponds.

For the third quarter 2021 potentiometric elevations varied between approximately 1403 and 1303 feet msl (Figure 10). The potentiometric surface was estimated to have been between approximately 22 and 122 feet beneath the bottom of the ponds during third quarter 2021. Based on potentiometric elevations, the actual distance between the bottom of the ponds and groundwater may be greater than the distance between the bottom of the ponds and the potentiometric surface.

Figure 10 depicts potentiometric elevation contours for the third quarter 2021 with groundwater gradients and flow directions across the site. A north-south aligned and southerly draining seasonal creek bisects the site and is coincident with the change in groundwater gradients and gradient directions. The creek bed is located at the base of a hillside sloping toward the east (on which the ponds are located) and a hillside sloping toward the west (on which the spray fields are located).

Potentiometric gradient directions east of the creek bed and beneath the spray fields were approximately southwest with gradients of approximately 0.02-foot and 0.04-foot vertical drop per 1-foot horizontal distance. Topography generally slopes to the west beneath the spray fields;

therefore, the potentiometric gradient direction was nearly parallel to topography. SF-Background was up-gradient of the spray fields, and SF-MW3 was cross-gradient of the northern spray field.

GH-Background and SF-MW2 were down-gradient of the southern spray field, and SF-MW1 was cross-gradient of the spray fields. The spray fields have not been utilized since 2008.

The potentiometric gradient directions west of the creek bed and beneath the ponds were approximately west-southwest with steeper gradients of approximately 0.15-foot (Pond 2) and 0.25-foot (Pond 1) vertical drop per 1-foot horizontal distance. Topography in the area of the ponds generally slopes to the east; therefore, the potentiometric gradient directions were approximately opposite of topography. GH-MW1 and GH-MW2 were down-gradient of the ponds.

12.2 Third Quarter 2021 Well Purging and Sampling Procedures

Following depth to groundwater measurements and prior to sampling, water was purged from each well. A stainless steel submersible low flow pump attached to Teflon tubing was used to purge and sample the groundwater monitoring wells. The pump was placed at the approximate center-point of each well screen interval. Pumping rates ranged between 200 and 400 mL/min. To reduce the potential for cross contamination, the pump was triple rinsed with deionized water prior to use in each well. New Teflon tubing was used for each well. Nitrile gloves were donned between wells. Information collected during purging is shown on the purging and sampling logs (Appendix D).

Approximately 0.1 to 1.3 well volumes of water were removed from the wells. One well volume is defined as the volume of water (water column) in the well prior to purging. Purging continued until field parameters “stabilized” as follows:

pH: +/- 0.2 units

Temperature: +/- 0.15o C

Specific Conductance: +/- 5%

Specific conductance in GH-MW1 was measured at 958 μS/cm, which exceeded the groundwater limitation of 900 μS/cm, but consistent with historical record.

Samples were collected from each well by filling bottles provided by the laboratory with water discharging from the Teflon tubing. Sample bottles were certified by the laboratories as clean sample containers; some pre-preserved, as necessary. Sample bottles were properly sealed and labeled, then placed in coolers containing blue ice and transported to the laboratories using standard chain-of-custody procedures. During the sampling event, field quality control (QC) checks were accomplished by submitting a blind controlled sample to the laboratory. The duplicate sample QC-2 was collected from SF-MW2. As the duplicate sample was "blind", the copy of the chain-of-custody record received by the analytical laboratory did not indicate the identity of the field duplicate or the location from which it was collected. Chain-of-custody form is included in Appendix E.

12.3 Third Quarter 2021 Laboratory Analytical Data

Eight monitoring wells were sampled in accordance with the new CVRWQCB MRP No. 2014-0153- DWQ-R5273. Current and historic analytical results are summarized in Table 5. The laboratory analytical report including the quality control data for the third quarter 2021 is included in Appendix E.

Total dissolved solids (TDS) and total coliforms were the only semi-annual constituents detected at concentrations that exceeded established and/or recommended groundwater limitations, as follows:

Electrical Conductivity GH-MW1 (958 μS/cm)

Total Dissolved Solids GH-MW1 (810 mg/L)

Total Dissolved Solids SF-MW1 (470 mg/L)

Total Coliforms SF-MW1 (3.1 MPN/100 mL)

Groundwater limitations were not exceeded in samples from the remaining monitoring wells.

13.0 2021 GROUNDWATER MONITORING TRENDS

The results of the 2021 groundwater monitoring events and observed trends in water quality parameters detected in the monitoring wells are discussed in the following sections.

13.1 Groundwater Depths and Elevations, Gradient, and Gradient Direction

Variances in depth to groundwater (feet below top of casing) between the 2021 monitoring events are as follows:

1st Q 2021 3rd Q 2021 Change (current)

GH-Background: 26.83 ft. 32.29 ft. 5.46 ft. deeper

GH-MW1: 143.58 ft. 144.01 ft. 0.43 ft. deeper GH-MW2: 114.95 ft. 131.28 ft. 16.33 ft. deeper GH-MW4: 35.95 ft. 41.07 ft. 5.12 ft. deeper SF-Background: 71.15 ft. 72.34 ft. 1.19 ft. deeper SF-MW1: 13.30 ft. 24.47 ft. 11.17 ft. deeper SF-MW2: 6.95 ft. 11.71 ft. 4.76 ft. deeper SF-MW3: 9.70 ft. 19.43 ft. 9.73 ft. deeper

These variances are consistent with trends from past monitoring events where groundwater is typically deeper during third quarters and shallower during first quarters. This cyclic variance correlates with the “dry” and “wet” seasons.

Groundwater (potentiometric) elevations since installation of monitoring wells in 2003 were plotted for each well to evaluate seasonal trends as shown on Charts 1 to 9. The charts show groundwater elevations generally follow a seasonal and cyclic pattern between 2003 and 2013.

Groundwater elevations show a more stable pattern between 2013 and 2015, which is due to a prolonged period of low precipitation from 2012 to 2015. Excessive precipitation occurred in 2017, which resulted in the recurrence of groundwater in the two deepest wells GH-MW1 and GH- MW2. The current and previous groundwater gradients and gradient directions beneath the ponds were similar.

13.2 Analytical Trends

The analytical results for semi-annual constituents in monitoring wells are summarized in Table 5 and the previous annual constituents in the monitoring wells are summarized in Table 6.

Exceedance of a currently established groundwater limitation is highlighted in yellow the tables and exceedance of a recommended groundwater limitation is highlighted in blue.

Groundwater limitations (established and recommended) were not exceeded in samples from wells GH-Background, GH-MW2, GH-MW4, SF-Background and SF-MW2. Three constituents (EC, TDS, and total coliforms) exceeded established and/or recommended groundwater limitations in monitoring wells GH-MW1, SF-MW1 and SF-MW3. Constituent concentrations that exceeded their established and/or recommended groundwater limitation and concentrations that exceeded those detected in background wells were plotted to evaluate trends as shown on Charts 10 to 15.

14.0 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

During the 2021 groundwater monitoring period, there were no deficiencies or violations of the monitoring and reporting requirements that required corrective action.

15.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

The results and findings of the 2021 groundwater monitoring events are presented and summarized in the following sections, including conclusions and recommendations where applicable.

15.1 Water Supply Monitoring

The previous MRP required annual sampling of the water supply wells in the third quarters during peak recreational use of the Glory Hole Recreation Area. The new MRP No. 2014-0153- DWQ-R5273 does not require monitoring or sampling the two (2) water supply wells. Therefore, the water supply wells will no longer be sampled.

15.2 Influent Monitoring

Lift Station #8 is sampled and samples are analyzed for the required constituents in accordance with the MRP. Monitoring reports are submitted to the CVRWQCB.

15.3 Lagoon (Pond) Monitoring

The WWTF lagoons (ponds) were monitored weekly (field parameter sampling and pond liner condition) in 2021. The liners were reported as intact and in good condition. Monthly reports were submitted to the CVRWQCB.

15.4 Pond Sludge

The pond liners were reported as intact and in good condition in 2021 with a thin layer of processed solids present on the bottom of the ponds. Reduction of sludge in the ponds is achieved by aerobic digestion in which bacteria digests oxygenated organic matter in wastewater. The amount of solids introduced into the ponds is not significant, given the size of the ponds. The ponds dry up annually and a thin layer of processed solids are deposited each year. A two- to three-inch thick layer of solids was observed at the bottom of both ponds as shown on Appendix A, Photos 2 and 3. Reclamation is evaluating the necessity and cost to dispose of the processed solids.

15.5 Spray Fields

Wastewater disposal was accomplished by evaporation in the ponds; therefore, the spray fields were not used in 2021. The spray fields were last used in 2008.

15.6 Groundwater Monitoring

The results and findings of the groundwater monitoring performed at the site in 2021 are summarized in the following sections.

15.6.1 Up-Gradient (Background) Groundwater Quality

Groundwater in wells SF-Background and SF-MW3 are considered to be representative of background groundwater quality. It is important to note that background groundwater chemistry can change with lateral and vertical distance, especially since the wells are screened in different rock types. This may account for the difference in manganese concentrations detected in the two background wells during previous monitoring events.

15.6.2 Depth to Groundwater and Groundwater Gradient

Depths to groundwater in the monitoring wells were deeper during third quarter 2021 in comparison to first quarter 2021. This is consistent with trends of past monitoring events where groundwater is typically shallower during first and second quarters, and deeper during third quarters. Groundwater gradients and gradient directions during the two sampling events in 2021 were consistent with historical conditions.

15.6.3 Analytical Results

There are no abnormalities noted in the analytical results for this monitoring period.

Groundwater characteristics are consistent with historical conditions.

15.7 Recommendations for No-Purge Sampling

Semi-annual and annual monitoring events have been conducted at the site using low-flow (minimal drawdown) sampling procedure. The field parameters (pH, temperature and electrical conductivity) measured during purging have been within acceptable criteria for stability (pH: 0.2 pH unit; Temperature: 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit; and EC: 50 μmhos/cm) as shown on the purging and sampling logs (Appendix D).

Based on the results of historical monitoring and sampling it is recommended that No-Purge Sampling technique be used in all future semi-annual and annual events. Depth to groundwater, pH and EC will continue to be measured as specified in MRP No. 2014-0153-DWQ-R527. To avoid potential cross contamination, sampling equipment will be decontaminated using Alconox solution and rinsed with distilled water prior to use in each well; nitrile gloves will be worn between wells.

It is also recommend that the No-Purge Sampling technique be implemented starting with the first quarter 2022 groundwater monitoring event.
