Monitoring Network. 9.1 In accordance with the Title 23, California Code of Regulations Section 357.4(b)(3)(A), the GSA Parties hereby agree to coordinate the development and maintenance of a Subbasin monitoring network through the coordination of the respective GSA monitoring networks established pursuant to the GSA Parties’ GSPs. The description of the Subbasin monitoring network includes monitoring objectives, protocols, and data reporting requirements specific to enumerated sustainability indicators. Each GSA Party’s network facilitates the collection of data in order to adequately characterize groundwater and related surface water conditions in the Subbasin and reasonably evaluate changing conditions that occur from implementation of the individual GSPs. Each GSA Party’s GSP describes the GSA monitoring network’s objectives as they relate to the Subbasin as well as their individual GSA area as required by the regulations, including, but not limited to, an explanation of coordinated network development and implementation to monitor groundwater and related surface conditions, and the interconnection of surface water and groundwater.
9.2 Each GSA Party has provided and shall continue to provide to the Coordination Workgroup, at a minimum, all relevant required data and information for their respective representative monitoring sites established in accordance with Title 23, California Code of Regulations, Section 354.36, as amended from time to time. A description of the groundwater elevation data and monitoring network has been included in Exhibit “B” in accordance with the Title 23, California Code of Regulations Section 357.4(b)(3)(A).
Monitoring Network. 9.1 In accordance with SGMA, the Parties hereby agree to coordinate the development and maintenance of a monitoring network at a Subbasin level through the coordination of the respective monitoring networks established pursuant to the GSPs in which each of the Parties hereto are participating. The Subbasin monitoring network description shall include monitoring objectives, protocols, and data reporting requirements specific to enumerated sustainability indicators. Each GSP Group’s network shall facilitate the collection of data in order to characterize groundwater and related surface water conditions in the Subbasin and evaluate changing conditions that occur from implementation of the individual GSPs. Each Party’s GSP will describe the monitoring network’s objectives for the Subbasin, including an explanation of network development and implementation to monitor groundwater and related surface conditions, and the interconnection of surface water and groundwater.
9.2 Each GSP Group shall provide the Coordination Committee all relevant data and information for their respective representative monitoring sites established in accordance with Title 23, California Code of Regulations, section 354.36, as amended from time to time.
Monitoring Network. The Parties agree to develop coordinated monitoring network objectives for the Monterey and 180/400 Foot Aquifer Subbasins. The monitoring network shall facilitate the collection of data necessary to characterize groundwater and related surface water conditions and evaluate changing conditions that occur from implementation of the GSPs in each Management Area.
Monitoring Network. 8.1 In accordance with SGMA, the Parties hereby agree to coordinate the development and maintenance of a monitoring network at a Subbasin level. The Subbasin monitoring network description shall include monitoring objectives, protocols, and data reporting requirements specific to enumerated sustainability indicators. Each GSA is responsible for the following:
(a) Operating and maintaining the representative monitoring network within its boundary;
(b) Filling data gaps in its GSA on a defined schedule;
(c) Collecting data per the approved Subbasin-wide monitoring protocol;
(d) Considering developing and maintaining a supplementary network for collecting data in excess of the minimum need, for the purposes of supporting local management decisions (since the level of detail necessary may not be sufficient in a Subbasin level network); and
(e) Each GSA shall have a minimum of one representative monitoring well (measuring water level and water quality) from each aquifer (above the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx layer – shallow aquifer, or below the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx layer – deep aquifer) in which it has groundwater pumping either within its GSA boundaries or within the area of influence of the pumping that is occurring, sufficient to meet the recommendations of the Subbasin- wide GSP consultant.
8.2 The minimum monitoring network shall be based on the evaluation performed by the Subbasin-wide GSP consultant and may change from time to time. The Subbasin-wide GSP consultant shall evaluate the monitoring network to ensure:
(a) There is a proper spatial and temporal coverage to inform a groundwater model;
(b) The level of monitoring is commensurate with the use in an area (e.g., limited monitoring well(s) in areas that do not pump or higher density of survey benchmarks in areas that have numerous deep xxxxx); and
(c) The network is balanced, so that should an exceedance occur, it is not biased or weighted as a function of a poorly distributed monitoring network.
Monitoring Network. The Parties agree to cooperate in the establishment and maintenance of a monitoring network in each Implementation Area that meets the requirements of SGMA and the Forebay GSP. Existing monitoring sources in the Forebay Subbasin will be considered by the Parties for inclusion in the monitoring network.
Monitoring Network. The present groundwater-monitoring network consists of four RCRA standard xxxxx and one older carbon-steel well (Figure 1.2). All five xxxxx are used for water level measurements. Water level measurements are made over a short time period to eliminate daily earth tide effects and to reduce barometric effects caused by changing atmospheric pressure. The monitoring system at dangerous waste sites is located along the hydraulically downgradient limit of the waste management area, defined as the area on which waste is stored at the regulated unit. Moni- toring xxxxx are placed as close as reasonably possible to the WMA. As can be seen from Figure 1.2, all five monitoring xxxxx in the WMA C network are close to the WMA boundary. The quarterly water level measurements are made separately from the sampling events. Sampling was done monthly during the time that sluicing operations were conducted in WMA C. Sluicing of tank 241-C-106 began in November 1998 and concluded in October 1999. Since sluicing operations at tank 241-C-106 have concluded, the groundwater will be sampled quarterly in accordance with a request from the Washington Depart of Ecology. In Table 4.1 well-by-well information is provided on the position of each well with respect to flow direction, sampling objective, and sampling frequency. Although the location of some xxxxx with respect to flow direction is cross gradient, upgradient and downgradient xxxxx are marked according to the southwestward flow direction defined in this monitoring plan for WMA C. The basic well design of the four RCRA xxxxx was according to WAC 173-160, Minimum Standards for Construction and Maintenance of Xxxxx. Completion dates for all four xxxxx was 1989. A 4-in. (10-cm) inner diameter, stainless steel casing was set to within about 5 ft (1.5 m) above the water table. A 20 ft (6.1 m) length of 10-slot, stainless steel screen with channel pack was placed from 5 ft (1.5 m) above to 15 ft (4.6 m) below the water table. The open portion of the screen in the unsaturated zone provided for any rises in groundwater over time. A 16-30 mesh (20-40 mesh for well 299-E27-14) silica sand pack was placed above and around the screen. An annular seal consisting of about 3 ft (1 m) of 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) bentonite pellets was put above the silica sand and 8-20 mesh bentonite crumbles were placed from the top of the pellets to within 18 to 20 ft (5.2 to 6.1 m) below the ground surface. Surface casing was set and sealed with cement from 20 ft...
Monitoring Network. Develop a monitoring network and data management system for the Basin including, but not limited to, monitoring objectives, representative monitoring sites, scientific rationale for the monitoring site selection process, and monitoring protocols.
Monitoring Network. Develop a monitoring network plan for each basin identified in the project description. This task will build on the existing monitoring network in the basins developed through the CASGEM and other programs to evaluate historical groundwater conditions. The monitoring network discussion will provide the basis for representative monitoring and an assessment to suggest improvements to the monitoring network.
