Violation 00-03-01: The following deficiencies were identified in the 1999 Annual Hydrology Report:
a) no water level data were collected or reported for the four quarters of the
report year from 25 ground water monitoring sites; b) no water level data were
• collected or reported for one to three quarters of the report year from the
additional 67 ground water monitoring sites; c) water quality samples were not
collected or reported from one ground water monitoring site (WI-181); and the
following from the 2000 semi-annual report: failure to collect water level data
from 12 ground water monitoring sites.
Action: a) Collecting and analyzing water quality samples from ground water monitoring
well WI-181 for the constituents defined in the permit (HRDV); b) obtaining
appropriate equipment to facilitate ground water monitoring activities outlined in
approved permits (i.e. water level monitoring probe for wells completed to
maximum anticipated well depth); c) no abatement is possible to acquire the
irretrievable water level measurements lost, however, to abate future problems,
WECo must develop and submit to the Department for approval a quality
assurance and quality control (QA/QC) plan that ensures that the approved
monitoring plan and schedule is adhered to, and that data errors or omissions
are minimized in future annual and semi-annual hydrology submittals.
Additiorially, WECo is hereby ordered to abate the above referenced violation by:
conducting all future ground water monitoring in compliance with approved
permits.
