Vicki McCartney [EH] <br /> From: Vicki McCartney [EH] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2014 10:34 AM <br /> To: 'May, Belinda A LTC USARMY" NG CAARNG (US)' <br /> Subject: RE: Stockton CSMS Soil sample results (UNCLASSIFIED) <br /> Belinda, <br /> I regret that I received the laboratory analytical data for the JP-8 spill at 8020 South <br /> Airport Way in Stockton, California on th same day that the hole had to be filled. All <br /> day long as Don and I communicated either by phone or email, I was well aware that people <br /> were standing in the hot sun with tempera ures well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit waiting <br /> to fill the hole. <br /> What concerns me is that the laboratory r ported only a portion of the 8270 compounds. <br /> Instead of using method 8270, the lab ran t e soil samples by 8270 Selective Ion <br /> Monitoring (SIM) . This meant that only sixteen compounds were reported instead of well <br /> over sixty contaminants. Since the "Rev' ed Technical Proposal" dated 27 May 2014, stated <br /> that the soil samples would be analyzed b (Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methods <br /> 8015 and 8270, I expected the laboratory o run the samples and report the entire list of <br /> compounds by method 8270. This was not the case. The laboratory only reported the <br /> polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) . <br /> I would have preferred that the scope of work had been followed. I reluctantly agreed to <br /> fill the hole based on the low concentrat'ons of JP-8 that had been detected in the two <br /> soil samples. <br /> I would hope in the future that more time i�s given (several days) between when the <br /> analytical data are made available to who ever and when the final fieldwork is completed. <br /> (Let me clarify that I have had an extensive background working in medical and <br /> environmental laboratories. ) <br /> Vicki McCartney, Senior REHS <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> 1868 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, California 95205 <br /> Phone: (209) 468-9852 <br /> Email: vmccartney@sjcehd.com <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: May, Belinda A LTC USARMY NG CAARNG JUS) [mailto:belinda.a.may.mil@mail.mil] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2014 9:20 AM <br /> To: Vicki McCartney [EH] <br /> Subject: RE: Stockton CSMS Soil sample re ults (UNCLASSIFIED) <br /> Classification: UNCLASSIFIED <br /> Caveats: NONE <br /> Vicki, <br /> I heard from Don - he provided you with ii ormation on how to better understand the lab <br /> results, why the 8270 method was use, and ow this method and the TPH analysis for jet <br /> fuel/diesel were appropriate for JP-8. <br /> Our contract covered the labor/equipment up to yesterday's work (filling the hole with <br /> clean soil) . The next step is report preparation and submission to the SJ County EHD for <br /> review and request for case closure. <br /> Belinda May, LTC <br /> Environmental Compliance Officer <br /> belinda.a.may.mil@mail.mil <br /> COMM: 916-369-4375 <br /> FAX: 916-361-3438 <br /> 1 <br /> I <br />
