Center Street Stockton, CA 95206 RO#: 0233 APN: 14716003 SWRCB-CUF#: 012186 The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has reviewed Quarterly Update — First Quarter 2009 dated April 2, 2009, submitted by your consultant, Advanced GeoEnvironmental Inc., (AGE) and provides the following comments. The quarterly update was submitted to meet quarterly reporting requirements as detailed in the EHD's February 24, 2009, correspondence. No field work/activities were performed during this reporting period, January 2009 through March 2009. The quarterly update also included a request to extend deadlines for EHD directives for approximately 18 months due to a payment delay from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Clean Up Fund (CUF) reimbursement. As notified in the EHD correspondence dated February 24, 2009, the EHD does not have the authority to suspend investigative or remedial requirements contingent on reimbursement from the CUF. Your request to suspend all site activities is not approved. The ground wafer beneath the site and off site is highly impacted by the former underground storage tank (UST) release. Currently the ground water contaminant plume is not fully delineated and recently the EHD has approved an interim remedial action plan (IRAP) for the site. Although the remediation wells have been installed, the soil vapor extraction (SVE) and insitu air sparging ]AS) unit has not been installed and the trenching to connect the remediation wells to the unit has not been completed. In correspondence dated May 5, 2009, the SWRCB-CUF recommended in their 5 -year review update that "the San Joaquin County LOP direct the responsible party to reduce monitoring and focus limited resources on active remediation." In correspondence dated February 24, 20091 the EHD recommended many wells that could have their frequency reduced and constituents analyzed for discontinued. You were asked to evaluate our recommendation and submit a proposal for sampling reduction to the EHD within 30 days. The proposal has not been received at the EHD.
