WHB was selected by a commercial compost facility to assist in compliance with the State of California Compost General Order (CGO).

The scope of work included initial site testing of the surface soils and their hydraulic infiltration rates, ongoing groundwater monitoring, and permit preparation and submittal as required by the State Water Resources Control Board.

To comply with the California General Permit (CGP) requirements for a Tier II Facility, WHB prepared and implemented a Groundwater Protection Monitoring Plan (GPMP).

This included a review of the regulatory requirements for this type of facility and an examination of the geology and hydrogeology of the site.

Based on our findings, WHB implemented the design, installation, and development of two groundwater wells, and performed an elevation survey.

WHB’s Environmental Services Team then collected groundwater samples for laboratory analysis and calculation of hydrogeologic parameters. A Well Installation and Monitoring Report was delivered to the client and ultimately submitted to the regional water quality control board.

The outcome of this assessment will aid the facility in future management decisions and contribute to the long-term preservation of water quality in the San Pasqual Valley.
