during a calendar month divided by the number of days in the month
that the production or commercial facility was operating. Where less
than daily sampling is required by this permit, the daily average
discharge shall be determined by the summation of all the measured
daily discharges by weight divided by the number of days sampled
during the calendar month when the measurements were made.

Dear Rex:
Please find enclosed copies of the report titled "MARTIN SCRAP SURFACE
IMPOUNDMENT CLOSURE PLAN". This report outlines the methodology by
which we propose to close a hazardous waste impoundment at Martin Scrap
Recycling in Concord.
As I indicated on the phone, this plan will require an NPDES Permit for
discharge of treated groundwater from the site to a stream which adjoins
the site.
Final design plans have not been finalized, however, we anticipate a
discharge of 25-30 gpm, for a 1-4 week period. The design discharge
concentrations are estimated at .10 mg/l for lead and a pH of 8.2 (see
lab data).
I am presently preparing the NPDES Permit Application and will forward
it to you as soon as possible. I understand that Gary Babb of the Solid
& Hazardous Waste branch has discussed the need for an expeditous review
of these plans. If you can review this report, we will submit the NPDES
Permit Application within five days.
Should you have any questions or desire additional information, please
contact me.
Very truly yours,
