The purpose of the meeting was to review proposed <br /> handling of wood debris removal at the Jersey Island staging area and results of previously <br /> conducted background sampling. <br /> The meeting was attended by both you,Mr. Mick Hardin of Santa Fe Railway Company <br /> (Santa Fe), and Mr. Tim Lassen of Environmental Solutions, Inc. County representatives <br /> included Mr. David J. Irey,Deputy District Attorney and Ms. Pamela S. Violett of Environmental <br /> Health Services. Mr. Art Ramirez,Fish and Game Warden with the State of California Department <br /> of Fish and Game (CDF&G) was also in attendance. <br /> During the meeting, results of background sampling at the Jersey Island site were reviewed with <br /> County representatives and Mr. Ramirez of the CDF&G. The Jersey Island site, located in Contra <br /> Costa County, was used by Santa Fe's contractor as a staging area for loading bridge lumber into <br /> trucks for transport to Browning-Ferris Industries' (BFI) Vasco Road Landfill in Livermore, <br /> California. The bridge lumber was originally removed by the contractor from Santa Fe's Middle <br /> River Bridge site onto a barge and brought to the Jersey Island staging area for rehandling, as <br /> described, to BFI's landfill. <br /> The staging area, subsequent to loading of the bridge lumber, contains remnant wood debris <br /> which, at the request of the County, is now being removed by Santa Fe's contractor. At the <br /> request of Santa Fe and to profile the wood debris,Environmental Solutions, Inc. obtained <br /> samples of the wood debris and soil from a test stockpile and at the bottom of a test excavation <br /> area. Soil samples and one water sample were also obtained from various background locations. <br /> Analyses of the various samples are completed and will be submitted in a formal report to Santa Fe <br /> for forwarding to the County and the CDF&G. Preliminary results of the analyses were reviewed <br /> during the meeting as follows: <br /> • Soluble lead, measured by EPA Method 3010/6010 using the California <br /> WET,indicated that background soil contains elevated concentrations <br /> of lead which in some instances exceed the soluble threshold limit <br /> concentration(STLC). <br /> • Various volatile organic compounds not associated with treated lumber <br /> were also detected in background soils. <br /> 21 Technology Drive • Irvine, California 92718 9 (714) 727-9336 <br />
