Inspection Summary:
Tim Fox and Landon Davidson with DWR ARO inspected the site. Phillip Ross assisted during the inspection.
Soils have been sent to the lab.
Calibration due again in 2023.
Improvements on the farm have been made at the sileage area to help seperate sileage leachate/groundwater.
The stream below the site is still showing signs of high nutrient loading.
A grant application has been submitted and the proposed project would decommission the existing waste storage pond and
remove infrastructure. The proposed project would restore 2,545 feet of streams along
the un-nammed tributary to Jonathans Creek. Enhancement and establishment of native riparian buffers along the UT to
Jonathans Creek will provide improved habitat for macroinvertebrates.
