If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above. 5. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment. 6.
