basically we will continue our misting and our <br /> _ engineering controls during the excavation <br /> process for our soil remediation to prevent <br /> any problems. <br /> 7. QUESTION: Is Public Health Services involved in the <br /> EHD testing activity that Exxon is performing ? <br /> RESPONSE: EHD staff is involved from the stand point <br /> that they review the work plans and comment on <br /> what sampling is being proposed. In addition, <br /> our staff is at the site during the time the <br /> samples are being collected to verify that the <br /> necessary protocols are followed and to make <br /> sure that the samples are in fact valid. The <br /> analyses are run, as Mike mentioned, by a <br /> State Certified lab. We receive copies of the <br /> analytical reports along with the complete <br /> geologic report on the site. Our staff does <br /> not actually collect the samples but we do <br /> oversee the collection and verify that they <br /> are being collected properly, transported and <br /> maintained so that they do not lose integrity <br /> before they are analyzed. <br /> EXXON'S <br /> COMMENT: In addition to that, when I am out there, I am <br /> a registered geologist. I 'm out there sampling <br /> and Mike Infurna's out there giving <br /> directions so he is heavily involved in the <br /> process. At that point, we follow the EPA <br /> protocol for chain of custody, in other words, <br /> the samples are then transported under very <br /> strict EPA procedures to California certified <br /> laboratories. At this point, we're using CASE <br /> Laboratories which is -a national laboratory <br /> that has a quality control and quality <br /> assurance program. It's an independent testing <br /> laboratory and they supply the results to us. <br /> S. QUESTION: What kind of constituents are in the soil <br /> that's now stockpiled that may be harmful? <br /> EHD <br /> RESPONSE: Exxon prepares a report that will tell what is <br /> in the soil that has been stockpiled and and <br /> we will review that as part of our process of <br /> approving their additional work on the site. <br /> In addition, when they have completed all <br /> their remediation work, they will submit a <br /> report describing everything that occurred. <br /> Your particular question has to do with <br /> whether there's something coming off that pile <br />
