To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed is the completed Semi -Annual Stormwater Discharge Outfall Monitoring Report for Outfal1 03
for Dole Fresh Vegetables. The facility conducted a monthly sample in April for Outfall 02. The facility
was unable to take a sample at Outfall 02 in May as required by the Tier II corrective actions in the
NPDES General Storm Water Permit for Industrial Activity for Dole Fresh Vegetables, Inc due to a lack of
rainfall. The facility will continue Tier I and Tier II corrective actions, including monthly sampling at
Outfall 02 until the facility has three consecutive samples meeting their TSS benchmarks.
If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this report, please feel free to contact Alexa
