Pursuant
to Water Code Section 13272.1, we are transmitting
the enclosed report to all public water system
operators within the jurisdiction of the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board-Los Angeles
Region. The report lists new discharges of MTBE
and the locations where MTBE was detected in surface
water, soil and/or groundwater and covers the
period from October 24, 2001 to January 14, 2002.
The report is organized by county, and include
the source of the discharge, the case number assigned
to the site, the facility name and address, and
whether MTBE was discharged to surface waters
or detected in soil and/or groundwater. Attached
is a copy of the report for your information and
use. This report is sorted by city and street
name. You can also download this report electronically
through our web site at the address listed below,
which will allow you to generate a customized
listing of the report, as well as to download
a complete listing of all MTBE discharge sites.
This
report will be updated on a quarterly basis. You
can access the Regional Board web site at http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcb4
or http://geotracker.swrcb.ca.gov/
to obtain additional information on many sites
listed in the attached report.
We
have made considerable effort, to allow the general
public, responsible parties, consultants and all
government agencies to view the locations and
information related to all leaking underground
storage tanks and production wells within our
Region using GeoTracker via the Internet. To ensure
that the locations of all production wells shown
in GeoTracker is correct, we request that you
obtain a password for the Re-position Tool to
move a well through this web site http://www.geotracker.swrcb.ca.gov/wdemo/.
Once at the web site, look at the upper right
hand corner and click on the "Next Step"
this will walk you through a series of demo pages
that will show you how to move a well. At the
end of the demo, it will provide you with a form
to obtain your password. This password will allow
you the exclusive right to verify and move your
production well(s) to a correct location. It is
necessary to have the correct location for all
production wells so that we can properly prioritize
our resource to ensure that all production wells
are protected from groundwater contamination.
If
you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact Mr. David Bacharowski at (213)
576-6620 or Mr. Nhan Bao at (213) 576-6703.
