Background: On January 23rd, 2007, the Board approved Agreement #024-A-06/07-BOS and a First Amendment on January 15th, 2008, with Field Solutions, Inc., to provide ongoing, extensive analysis of ground and surface water points and landfill gas on and around the Union Mine property, as required by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Reason for Recommendation:The Waste Discharge Requirement (WDRs), General Storm Water NPDES Permit and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the Union Mine Disposal Site require an ongoing extensive analysis of ground and surface water points on and around the Union Mine property. There are over 25 groundwater wells, 10 surface points and 3 mine drainage areas that are routinely tested. Our WDRs require that we tabulate the data and submit extensive quarterly reports to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. There are also 23 landfill gas extraction wells located throughout the Union Mine site that must be monitored monthly for permit required parameters. The scope of work proposed by Field Solutions, Inc. will enable the Department to test, report and comply with WDR's for the next 12 months.
This Second Amendment adds $25,000 in compensation, for a not-to-exceed amount of $194,000, and extends the term an additional year through January 23, 2010.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Upon execution by the Chair, the Board Clerks Office will forward copies of the Second Amendment to the Environmental Management Department for distribution, encumbrance, and administration.
