i Al Olsen, R.E.H,S .Laurie A. Cotulla, R.E.H.S June 10, 2003 Page 5 Concluding that natural attenuation would be an appropriate remediation option due to the non- presence of constituents of concern at the Site, Condor submitted a proposal to the County on July 8, 2002 recommending that the UST be closed in place and that the abandoned water well be destroyed.9 On July 26, 2002, the County again was at the Site to supervise additional soil sampling beneath the UST.10 On July 27, 2002, the UST was further excavated, cleaned and portions of pipes removed and capped. At the request of the County, aboveground piping in the basement of the 1916. building was also removed. After issuing a permit to permanently close the UST in place, the County again returned to the Site on August 12, 2002 to observe the permanent closure of the UST The County issued a directive letter to the School District - . - - -- - -- requesting further investigation of soil and groundwater contamination on August 16, 2002. However, after reviewing a letter report dated August 28, 2002 summarizing the UST closure activities and a No Further Action Request dated October 9, 2002, the County issued a No Further Action letter dated November 6, 2002 confirming the completion of the investigation. In sum, the Warwick performed those activities necessary to.investigate and analyze the effects of an unauthorized release from a UST on the Property. After properly investigating and evaluating the release, they concluded that closure in palace of the UST adequately protects human health, safety, and the environment and protects current and potential beneficial uses of water. These activities were performed under the supervision, direction and approval of the County. We therefore respectfully request that the County .issue a letter to the Warwicks confirming that the Warwicks, under the direction of the County, took corrective actions. Since we must supply this additional documentation to the Fund by the end of:lune, we would appreciate a response from the County by June 20, 2003. Thank you for your anticipated attention to this matter. Very truly yours, i - t DOWNEY BRANT] LLP Nicole R.
