this language.
➢ Old Condition II.12 – The Division has removed this condition because the Permittee owns the
irrigation sites.
➢ Old Condition IV.14 – The Division has removed this condition because Condition IV.13
includes this language.
The following permit conditions are new or modified since the last permit issuance dated
April 8, 2022:

6. If monitoring detects TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L in any downgradient monitoring well, the Permittee shall conduct additional sampling and analysis to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration shall represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells are subject to additional sampling and analysis as described above.
7. The Permittee shall report monitoring well data on Compliance Monitoring Forms (GW-59s) consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in this attachment.
