Mark Newfield <br /> December 3, 1987 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Based on a straight line projection, the soil contamination could be as <br /> deep as 40 feet. The City does not want to tell you or the Local Health <br /> District or the Regional Water Quality Control Board how best to determine <br /> the extent of the contamination. However, it would appear that a soils <br /> firm could bore one small hole, taking samples at different depths, and <br /> determine the exact extent of the contamination. No permit would be <br /> needed for this type of testing. <br /> Even though the testing of our adjacent wells showed no hydrocarbon <br /> contamination, the City has a concern about the possibility of localized <br /> groundwater contamination and our future liabilities. As we have <br /> discussed previously, the City is not in a position to purchase the site <br /> until it has been written off and accepted by both the Local Health <br /> District and Regional Water Quality Control Board. <br /> If you do wish to make your proposed excavation, it is suggested that you <br /> contact Roger Houston, the Chief Building Inspector, for the required <br /> grading permit and any additional requirements that would go along with it. <br /> It is also suggested that you consider blocking the driveways and access <br /> to this parcel until the surface can be improved. The mud from this <br /> parcel is being deposited on the street. If this continues, we will have <br /> to block the access and bill you for this and cleaning the street. <br /> qPJac L.
