conducting an interview of the SJCEHD staff and management who are familiar with the circumstances and information that resulted in the SJCEHD launching of an investigation into the allegation of hazardous materials/waste disposal at the subject site. More importantly, what compels TRE as the environmental professional (EP)3 to conduct face to face interviews are the following factors: • Section 312.30 of 40 CFR specifically requires the EP TO CONDUCT BOTH REVIEWS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS AND CONDUCT THE REQUIRED INTERVIEWS in order to obtain commonly known and reasonably ascertainable information. Please note that by the SJCEHD's launching a specific investigation into the anonymously made allegations of hazardous materials/waste disposal at this site, the SJCEHD has triggered the need for TRE as the EP to pursue this inquiry through review of files and interviews of the SJCEHD inspectors and management staff with knowledge of the circumstances and reports surrounding the foregoing allegation and the resulting investigations launched by the SJCEHD. Moreover, the final outcome • of the SJCEHD's investigations and any reports and or conclusions that were generated by the SJCHED thereof is germane to this Phase I ESA as required by AAI. Whereas, had this just been an ordinary UST closure and or clean up project, TRE would have been in agreement with the SJCEHD that a review of the records would have probably sufficed. • The foregoing section (312.30) under the new AAI rule is different from an ordinary review of the Federal, State, Tribal and Local Government records (which per your statements made to Mr. Fairbanks on phone on 10/11/06, it would appear to be what you had perceived TRE's inquiry to be). In order to achieve section 312.30, however, TRE is submitting enclosed a completed Form: EHD 48-06 for information on the surrounding properties. Please inform us ASAP as to when TRE is able to conduct this interview with the SJCEHD staff and personnel who have knowledge of the foregoing investigation and its current status and outcome. In addition, please inform us as to when TRE is able to conduct a file review of the sites that have been listed on the enclosed Form: EHD 48- 06. TRE would like to reiterate its earlier request that any and all communications in response to this correspondence and our earlier letter is directly sent to TRE in writing as the SJCEHD's continuing lack of direct and concise response to TRE's request is pushing this project's timetable into additional unnecessary delays and lost productivity. In closing, once again, TRE appreciates the SJCEHD's prompt processing of and cooperation with this request. Please feel free to contact me at 209-601-7048 or TRECONSULTING an.COMCAST.NET. Enclosure: completed Form EHD 48-06 Sincerely, Jay R.
