WHEREAS, Well No. 19, located at 2600 Industry Way, is the subject of a well
treatment evaluation; and
WHEREAS, Well No. 19 was built approximately 60 years ago and has the
capacity of approximately 1,800 gallons per minute; and
WHEREAS, in the last five years, the well has begun producing water with
excessive levels of Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and Manganese (Mn); and-
WHEREAS, the MN concentrations occasionally exceed when the well has
been off for service, and the PCE concentrations nearly exceed maximum levels
indentified in the National Drinking Water Standards established by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB); and
WHEREAS, the current procedures require that Well No. 19 be run to waste for
at least 3 hours in order to allow the manganese (Mn) concentration to come down
below the maximum contaminate levels (MCL) set by the EPA before pumping into the

recommended a wellhead treatment system, that will allow us to conserve water by
