ENFORCEMENT & GROUNDWATER PERMITTING

Settlement Agreement
 Parvaneh Khayat

The Regional Board Executive Officer issued Complaint No. 00-117 for Administrative Civil Liability against Chevron on August 30, 2000 ("Complaint"). The Complaint alleges that Chevron failed to comply with certain provisions of Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 88-55 and Board Order 97-112. The Complaint recommends assessment of civil liability of $2,254,200. Subsequent to the initial assessment of civil liability in this matter, Chevron provided the Regional Board staff with additional information regarding the factual allegations set forth in the Complaint. At the time the Complaint was issued, the Regional Board staff was not in possession of this additional information. This additional information provides the justification for the penalty reduction set forth in this Settlement Agreement. The Regional Board staff has not found evidence that would support a finding that the releases giving rise to the Complaint was either willful or intentional. This Agreement supplants the Complaint, which shall be deemed withdrawn upon Regional Board approval of this Agreement.

In accordance with California Water Code section 13323, the Regional Board, on March 25, 2002 considered a Resolution authorizing the Executive Officer to approve a Settlement Agreement between Chevron USA, Inc. and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, in the amount of $1.55 million towards resolution of ACL No. 00-117 for discharging petroleum hydrocarbons to waters of the State.

STORM WATER SECTION

Construction and Industrial – Inspection Update
 Yi Lu

During March, staff completed 67 compliance inspections, compared to 143 during March of 2001. However, this decline was anticipated, as staff focused on followup inspections and informal enforcement actions arising from the 386 inspections completed by a contractor (TetraTech) from November through February. Even with this diversion, staff have almost reached year-end targets for compliance inspections, and will continue to focus on enforcement followup inspections plus a backlog of Notice of Termination applications that have come in since the wet season started.

 Yi Lu

The State Water Resource Control Board has dedicated resources to implement the second generation of a "System for Water Information Management" (SWIM 2) over the next several years. Once implemented and in full function, SWIM 2 will enhance Regional Board’s capacity and capability to manage and share information regarding water quality. During the month of March 2002, staff participated in a total of four teleconference meetings to discuss the SWIM 2 database development and management for the Storm Water and Enforcement Programs.

Industrial—Storm Report Newsletter
 RoseLynn Wright

On March 29, 2002, staff sent out the March 2002 Issue of the Industrial Storm Report. In this issue, staff continued the series of the articles addressing the water quality criteria and common pollution prevention tips, and updated our efforts on non-filers project, contractor inspection project, and the AB 2019 enforcement actions. Copies of the current issue, as well as the prior issues, of the Storm Report can be found on the Storm Water webpage (www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcb4/html/programs/stormwater/newsletter.html.)

Industrial – Planned Industrial Permit Compliance Training for Ventura Permittees Postponed
 Ejigu Solomon

Regional Board staff jointly with the Ventura Storm Water Management Program had planned to host an industrial permit compliance training for Ventura permittees on February 28, 2002. This training has been postponed. The training will be rescheduled in the near future as the identification of non-filers that need to participate in this training gets sufficiently underway.

Municipal – Ventura County MS4 Permit Audit Update
 Ejigu Solomon

As indicated in the December 2001 Executive Officer’s Report, the Ventura County MS4 audit report was issued on February 14, 2002 to the co-permittees of the Ventura County Municipal Storm Water NPDES Permit. The results of the findings were subsequently discussed between Regional Board staff and co-permittee representatives. The four co-permittees who were audited have already started addressing most of the identified deficiencies, and they are expected to build upon the positive elements of their programs. A second round of audits for the remaining six co-permittees is planned for the near future.

County of Los Angeles Municipal Storm Water Permit
 Wendy Phillips

Seven parties have petitioned the State Board to overturn certain requirements in the municipal storm water permit for the County of Los Angeles, adopted by the Regional Board on December 13, 2001. Some of the Permittees also have petitioned for a stay of the permit, until the State Board has an opportunity to consider the petitions. As Regional Board representatives explained at a hearing on the stay on March 25th, approval of a stay will delay progressive permit requirements, such as a requirement for each city to inspect certain industrial/commercial facilities for storm water best management practices. On April 25th, the State Board denied the stay petition.


REMEDIATION SECTION

Well Investigation Program

Status Report of the San Fernando Valley Chromium VI Investigation
 Dixon Oriola

Regional Board staff met with USEPA representatives on March 27, 2002 to obtain feedback on the Draft Chromium VI Investigation Report. These informal discussions centered on report format and content. USEPA indicated that formal comments would be provided in writing by mid April 2002. Also at this meeting, USEPA indicated that their Cooperative Agreement with the Regional Board would be ending on June 30, 2002 due to limited Federal funding.

The results of the Chromium VI Investigation revealed that of the 255 suspected sites, 105 are recommended for further assessment while the remaining 150 will be closed. Regional Board staff intend to transfer those 105 sites recommended for further assessment into the State Cost Recovery Program. This will ensure continued assessment and eventual cleanup. Sites that have impacted groundwater will be subject to a Cleanup and Abatement Order to help facilitate the cleanup.

San Gabriel Valley Superfund
 Dixon Oriola

USEPA and Regional Board staffs have completed draft mail-out letters for Emergent Chemical groundwater sampling in Puente Valley (74) and South El Monte (76) Operable Units. These joint titled letters are scheduled for mail-out in mid April and will be directed only at identified potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the respective operable units. The emergent chemicals targeted are: Ammonia Perchlorate, 1,4-Dioxane, N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), total chromium and hexavalent chromium. Sampling results for both areas are due by July 1, 2002.

UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK PROGRAM

Charnock Sub-basin MTBE Investigation
Weixing Tong

Introduction: The Charnock Sub-Basin Investigation Area is located in the Central Groundwater Basin of the Los Angeles Coastal Plain. During March 1996, MTBE concentrations up to 610 m g/L was detected in the City of Santa Monica (CSM) wells, consequently in June 1996, the CSM shut down its five production wells. The Southern California Water Company (SCWC) has a wellfield adjacent to the CSM wellfield and shut down its two production wells in October 1996, to avoid drawing in MTBE pollution. No MTBE was ever detected in the SCWC production wells. During April 1997, the Regional Board and USEPA (jointly the "Agencies") signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deal with the MTBE pollution problem affecting both the CSM and SCWC wellfields (collectively "Charnock Wellfields"). Pursuant to the MOU, the Agencies identified 48 potential responsible party sites (PRP sites) within one and one quarter mile radius of the wellfields (Charnock Sub-Basin Investigation Area). Based upon record search, 32 potential source sites were required to perform a preliminary investigation to determine the potential of soil and groundwater contamination. At present, there are 27 active sites in the Charnock Sub-Basin Investigation Area. Of the 27 active sites, additional site assessment work is required at 13 sites. Groundwater monitoring is being performed at all 27 sites. Remedial action workplans for the soil and/or groundwater have been approved for a total of 9 sites.

Site Specific Cleanup: Site specific cleanup technologies include air stripper, granular activated carbon adsorption, advanced oxidation process, and soil vapor extraction. The following are the current status of site-specific cleanup activities:

PRP Site No. 4 (ARCO): Implement soil vapor extraction. To date approximately 52,623 pounds of total petroleum hydrocarbons have been removed from beneath the site.

PRP Site No. 7 (Unocal): Implement soil vapor extraction. To date approximately 16,908 pounds of total petroleum hydrocarbons have been removed from beneath the site. A remedial action plan has been approved to clean up the contaminated groundwater beneath the site. A two-month groundwater remediation test has been completed at the site. The Agencies have issued a directive letter requiring more aggressive remediation for the contaminated groundwater.

PRP Site No. 8 (Mobil): Implement soils vapor extraction and groundwater pump and treat system. To date approximately 305 pounds of MTBE, 85 pounds of benzene, and 14,020 pounds of petroleum hydrocarbons have been removed by soil vapor extraction. Since November 1999, approximately 23.5 million gallons of groundwater have been pumped, treated and discharged under an NPDES permit. Approximately 780 pounds of petroleum hydrocarbons have been removed from groundwater underneath the site.

PRP Site No. 10 (Chevron): Implement soils vapor extraction and groundwater extraction system. A vapor and groundwater extraction system (VEGE) has been installed and operated at the site. To date approximately 4,258 pounds of petroleum hydrocarbons have been removed by soil vapor extraction.

PRP Site No. 11 (Shell): Implement soil vapor extraction and onsite and offsite groundwater pump and treat system. A groundwater pump and treat is used to recover polluted groundwater and is then treated using an air stripper to remove MTBE followed by advanced oxidation process to remove TBA. To date approximately 124 million gallons of groundwater have been treated and discharged under an NPDES permit. Since the inception of the remediation system, 8,669 pounds of total petroleum hydrocarbons, 435 pounds of benzene and 1,627 pounds of MTBE have been removed from the site. The system influent concentrations for MTBE have decreased from 19,000 m g/L in November 1999, to 420 m g/L in February 2002. The soil vapor extraction system has been operated since September 2000. To date approximately 86 pounds of MTBE, 29.6 pounds of benzene, and 3,247.3 pounds of petroleum hydrocarbons have been removed by soil vapor extraction.

PRP Site No. 12 (Winall Oil): Implement soil vapor extraction. A soil vapor extraction system has been operating since May 2000, and has removed to date (January 2002) 14,309 pounds of petroleum hydrocarbons, 96 pounds of benzene, and 1,869 pounds of MTBE.

PRP Site No. 6 (Conoco): Voluntary onsite soil excavation is ongoing.

PRP Site No. 16 (Tosco): Implement pilot test for soil vapor extraction system.

PRP Site No. 23 (Chevron-Thrifty-Best): Completed tanks removal and excavation of contaminated soil onsite and is Installing a duel-phase vapor extraction system to cleanup onsite and offsite vadose zone contamination. Construction for offsite soil vapor extraction piping has been complete. Offsite gasoline free product removal is ongoing.

Chevron-Thrifty-Best has completed the installation of onsite vapor extraction wells and 14 offsite groundwater monitoring well clusters between the site and the Charnock Wellfield. Chevron-Thrifty-Best is currently installing three additional step-out groundwater monitoring well clusters along the Sawtelle Boulevard in February 2002. The startup operation of the onsite vapor extraction system is scheduled to commence in April 2002.

Charnock Sub-basin Regional Approach: On the Charnock Sub-basin regional issues, the Regional Board and Shell have entered into a Stipulated Agreement containing a specified Scope of Work (SOW) to perform regional investigation and analysis of alternatives for both Interim Water Replacement and Interim Regional Response Actions. The Regional Board members at the August 31, 2000, meeting approved the Stipulated Agreement. As part of this investigation, a number of groundwater monitoring wells have been installed into the Upper Silverado Aquifer and Shallow Unnamed Aquifer to aid in determining plume source(s) and characteristics, and to perform periodic groundwater monitoring. This work requires development of a basin-wide flow model, development a GIS database, evaluate alternative drinking water sources within the Charnock Sub-Basin, evaluate methods of treating polluted groundwater, restoring the Charnock Sub-Basin Investigation Area to its full beneficial use, and provide a community relations plan. The work specified in the SOW is a necessary step to restore the drinking water supply at the Charnock Wellfields. Per the agreement, Shell’s consultant has completed the fieldwork as specified in the scope of work. On November 19, 2001, the final reports for regional investigation results and recommendations for selection of remedy were submitted. Regional Board and USEPA staffs have been evaluating the reports. On March 18, 2002, with Regional Board staff concurrence, USEPA issued a draft scope of work for the second phase of Charnock Initial Regional Response Activities (CIRRA2) to all PRPs.

Arcadia Wellfield Restoration from MTBE Contamination
 Jay Huang

Three aquifers were impacted by MTBE contamination. Two groundwater aquifers, the shallow aquifer and the production aquifer are located north of the Brentwood fault; the lower aquifer is located south of the fault. The shallow aquifer and lower aquifer in the vicinity of the former Mobil Station 18-LDM have been treated with a pump and treat system since October 1997. Currently approximately 22 gallons per minute (GPM) of groundwater are being pumped from 18 groundwater extraction wells of the shallow and lower aquifers and treated at the Mobil facility. To date (February 27, 2002) the treatment system has pumped 27.5 million gallons of groundwater and removed an estimated amount of 82.4 pounds of TPH and 213.5 pounds of MTBE. The average MTBE concentration in the shallow aquifer influent has been decreased from over 2,000 m g/L in 1998 to 34 m g/L in February 2002. The impacted soil in the vadose zone has been treated with a vapor extraction system (VES). The cumulative VOC mass removed is 13,145 pounds since May 1999. The VES has been shutdown since December 2001 due to low influent concentrations.

A Production Aquifer Remediation System (PARS) using activated carbon filtering to clean up the production aquifer has been in operation since May 17, 2000. Currently groundwater from Arcadia Well No.5 are being pumped at 300 GPM and discharged to a storm drain. To date (February 2002), PARS has pumped approximately 248.77 million gallons of groundwater and removed 0.51 pounds of MTBE. The average daily influent concentration of MTBE was less than 0.5 m g/L.

A spiking demonstration test designed to further evaluate system reliability and effectiveness has been conducted for 45 days and completed in December 2000. A Demonstration Test Report dated July 2, 2001 has been submitted and reviewed by the California Department of Health Service (CDHS). CDHS has decided that no public hearing will be held prior to issuance of the permit amendment for the PARS treatment facility. CDHS has completed a third draft permit amendment and is expected to issue a formal permit amendment to City of Santa Monica (CSM) in May 2002. CSM is then allowed to resume its distribution of treated groundwater water extracted from the Arcadia Wellfield to the resident of CSM. CSM will notify its residents about the intention to resume groundwater production after permit is issued in their newsletter.

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether Investigation of Southern California Water Company’s Harrison Well No. 2
 John Chiang

In May 2001, Regional Board staff was notified of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) pollution in Southern California Water Company’s (SCWC) Harrison Well No. 2, located at 673 West Harrison Avenue, Claremont. Groundwater sampling of Harrison Well No. 2 during November 2000, detected MTBE ranging from 4.0 to 7.0 µg/L. Harrison Well No. 2 remains off-line because MTBE concentration has exceeded the secondary drinking water standard of 5 µg/L.

In July 2001, Regional Board staff conducted site inspections and completed records searches, and identified fifteen (15) potential responsible parties (PRPs) within the one mile radius of the Harrison Well No. 2. On October 26, 2001, Regional Board staff issued directive letters to the 15 PRPs notifying them of the MTBE problem and requiring site specific information pertaining to their underground storage tank operations and assessment work completed. The information from the PRPs is due to the Regional Board by January 15, 2002. On the same day, the Regional Board sent a letter to SCWC requesting that they provide well construction, production, and hydrogeologic information in the area surrounding the Harrison Well No.2, to assist in determining the source(s) and cause(s) for the pollution in their well.

To date, all fifteen PRPs provided site information for their underground storage tanks in response to the October 26, 2001 letter. However, SCWC has not provided information as per our October 26, 2001 letter.

Regional Board staff are in the process to review and evaluate the information provided from the PRPs, and will make a determination with respect to any future assessment work.

Completion of Corrective Action at Leaking Underground Fuel Storage Tank Sites

Regional Board staff have reviewed corrective actions taken for soil and/or groundwater contamination problems from leaking underground storage tanks for the time of March 4, 2002, through April 5, 2002, and determined that no further corrective actions are required:

Staff continues contact with stakeholders in a number of different meetings. The most recent general stakeholder meeting was held on March 19, 2002 at the Ventura County Administration Building. Invitations were sent to stake holders, and over 20 stakeholders from affected agencies, agriculture, industry, and environmental groups. Board staff updated stakeholders on advancements in the TMDL. As part of this, stakeholders were given drafts of the Numeric Target and Problem Statements. Reviews of these documents are due before the next meeting, and will be discussed at that time.

Additionally, Board staff discussed potential implementation tools for the TMDL. Finally, the group agreed to the new name for the TMDL, the McGrath/Mandalay Coastal Area Pathogen TMDL.

On April 3, 2002, staff met with the McGrath Lake Watershed Action Committee (WAC). Stakeholders, including members of the WAC, originally stated that they prefer informal meetings where Regional Board staff informs them of progress on and issues with the TMDL, while stakeholders state their concerns. The WAC has now stated that they wish to have a more active role in the TMDL. They also suggested that they would assist with the TMDL, including aiding in data collection.

A meeting was held on April 23, 2002 at the Ventura County Administration Building. Invitations for meetings are sent to stakeholders and the notice is published on the Regional Board's website. The agenda includes discussions on existing and new data, sampling, and progress of the TMDL staff report, and additional stakeholder involvement.

Santa Clara River – Chloride TMDL
 Elizabeth Erickson

A Basin Plan Amendment draft has been developed for a chloride TMDL in the Santa Clarita reaches of the Santa Clara River. The draft has received peer and legal review and is undergoing internal management review. A draft will be released to affected parties in advance of a question and answer session to gather comments. A final draft will be released at least 45 days prior to the Board Hearing at which the TMDL will be considered.

For further information, please call Samuel Unger at 213- 576-6784 or Elizabeth Erickson at 213- 576-6683. For copies of the December 7, 2000 Basin Plan amendment, or to be placed on the mailing list, call Sandra Kelley at 213-576-6619.

Santa Clara River – Nutrient TMDL
 Elizabeth Erickson

Steering Committee meetings were held on March 29 and April 4, 2002 in Santa Clarita to select a modeler, compile data, and discuss issues related to the problem statement and numeric targets for the nutrient TMDL of the Santa Clara River. Among six modeling contracts received, the group selected a first and second choice. Final contract negotiations are in progress between the parties and the group’s facilitator, Dr. Arturo Keller of the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The Regional Board contributed $138,365 and the steering group members contributed over $140,000 for the modeling effort not counting substantial in-kind support.

The 15 participants of the stakeholder group comprise the steering group and all activities will be reported to all stakeholders on May 20. The Steering Committee will continue to meet monthly, with the next meetings scheduled for April 22, July 22 and August 19. During these meetings, the modeling design, inputs and assumptions will be finalized. Additional quarterly meetings involving all stakeholders will take place on September 16, and in February 2003. The Nutrient TMDL for the Santa Clara River is scheduled to be heard before the Regional Board in March 2003.

For further information, please call Samuel Unger at 213- 576-6784 or Elizabeth Erickson at 213- 576-6683. To be placed on the mailing list, call Sandra Kelley at 213- 576- 6619. To receive a copy of materials related to the steering group meetings, contact Dr Arturo Keller at Keller@bren.ucsb.edu.

Calleguas Watershed Nutrient TMDL
 Elizabeth Erickson

A technical report submitted by Larry Walker and Associates covering the requirements of a nutrient TMDL for the Calleguas Creek Watershed is under review by staff. The material has been compiled into a Basin Plan Amendment which is undergoing staff review. Preliminary flow data collected on April 4, 2002 for the Supplemental Environmental Project for the Calleguas Creek Watershed Non-Point Source Pollution Investigation Plan presently being completed by Larry Walker and Associates for the Regional Board and Calleguas Municipal Water District found an increase of flow in the Arroyo Simi of 20cfs due to groundwater discharge below the Simi Treatment plant. The impact of this volume of groundwater flow on the proposed nutrient allocations is under consideration.

For further information, please call Samuel Unger at 213-576-6784 or Elizabeth Erickson at 213- 576-6683. To be placed on the mailing list, call Sandra Kelley at (213) 576 6619.

Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP)
Tracy Vergets

The SWAMP roundtable meeting in Sacramento, in which the State Board, Regional Boards, and California Department of Fish and Game participate in, was held on April 9, 2002. Topics on the agenda include the reassignment of the SWAMP to the Monitoring and Assessment Unit of the State Board, a summary of the bacteria source tracking workshop held at SCCWRP, a discussion on training and preparation of handling of pathogenic/biohazardous materials, an update on the development and review of the QAPP, funding issues, and a data management update. An external scientific review committee is being formed and is set to meet May 21-23, 2002, at Moss Landing Marine Lab. Current Regional Board activities include performing the field reconnaissance in the Santa Monica Bay Watershed Management Area necessary for the upcoming sampling funded in FY2001/02. Thirty of the sixty-eight potential sites have been visited and assessed. For more information, please contact Tracy Vergets at (213) 576-6661.

Santa Monica Bay Beaches Pathogen
 Melinda Becker

A meeting of the Santa Monica Bay Beaches TMDL Steering Committee was held on Wednesday, April 10, at the Regional Board offices. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss proposed changes to the wet-weather beaches pathogen TMDL. The Santa Monica Bay Beaches pathogen TMDL originally was public noticed in December 2002 and a public work shop was conducted on December 20, 2002. Due to comments received, the TMDL was bifurcated into dry-weather and wet-weather TMDLs. The dry weather Santa Monica Bay pathogen TMDL was adopted by the Regional Board on January 24, 2002. The revised wet-weather TMDL is expected to be released for public comment later this month. It is tentatively scheduled for the June 27, 2002 Regional Board meeting. For more information contact Renee DeShazo at 213-576-6783.

Malibu Creek TMDLs
 Melinda Becker

Regional Board staff made a presentation at the Malibu Creek Watershed Advisory Council on April 9, 2002. The presentation included an update on recent studies and provided a preview of the proposed implementation plans to address algae and bacteria impairments within the watershed. Studies performed by the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP), University of California Santa Barbara, and Heal the Bay confirmed the algae impairment in the watershed and provided additional information used to establish numeric targets for nutrients and excessive algal growth. The pathogen TMDL will be based on the implementation plan for the Santa Monica Bay pathogen TMDLs. However, some allowance may be required to accommodate natural sources of bacteria, including birds and other wildlife. The draft TMDLs are expected to be released for public review within the next two months.

For more information contact Rod Collins at 213-576-6691 or Melinda Becker 213-576-6681.
