IV. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
On January 28, 2020, WSRO staff conducted a site visit to the subject facility for review associated with the application
for permit renewal. Mr. Jim Brown of Tyson accompanied staff on the entire visit. The facility appears to be properly
maintained and operated.
The only concern noted during this review is the groundwater limit exceedances for Ammonia in monitoring well
MW-2 which is located just inside the Review Boundary. An NOV was issued on December 19, 2019 (see attached)
for this limit exceedance. In response to this NOV, the Permittee is proposing to install a new monitoring well on the
Compliance Boundary to determine if groundwater limits are met at the Compliance Boundary. This proposal has not
been received in the WSRO to date. Recommend that a copy of this proposal be requested in an add info request
so that this can be incorporated with the current permitting and updated in BIMS. See the attached site map for a
sketch showing the approximate area that was discussed by the onsite representative during the site visit for proposing
a new downgradient monitoring well.
In BIMS under the `Classification/Designation' tab, this system has been classified as WW-1 and PC -I. The PC-1 needs
to be removed in BIMS, this is not a groundwater remediation system.
