Box 2009 <br /> Stockton, CA 95201 ENVIROMEvTAL HEALTH <br /> FERMIT/SERVICES <br /> Re : Marley Cooling Tower Company <br /> Dear Dr. Khanna: <br /> Our law firm represents former employees of the Marley <br /> Company and residents who lived near their lumber treating <br /> plant. We are concerned that although the State has made <br /> progress with site cleanup, little has been done to <br /> concisely assess the facility ' s impact on the health of <br /> people . <br /> As you are probably aware , state-ordered tests have <br /> discovered significant contamination (at a few sites) in the <br /> ditches which run along the residential streets adjoining <br /> the south yard of the Marley facility. <br /> It appears to us that a high percentage of people in <br /> this neighborhood have unexplained allergies, rashes, <br /> irritations and headaches . It has not escaped our attention <br /> that this situation may be attributed to chromium exposure , <br /> especially since chromium salts are very allergenic . <br /> We recently met with Dr. Lynn Goldman, DOHS <br /> Epidemiology Section , Berkeley, concerning possible <br /> state-sponsored studies of employees and Franklin High <br /> School graduates . I have enclosed for your reference a copy <br /> of a letter from this office to Ms. Marge Rouch, DOHS, Toxic <br /> Substances Control Division , Sacramento, which outlines our <br /> more serious concerns .
