VALLEY AG RESEARCH � June 29, 2001 FOR: Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Hawley 9155 North Shelton Road Linden, CA 95236 PROJECT: MS-98-35. A.P.N. 093-330-10, Property Address 9156 North Shelton Road: SUBJECT: Proposal for a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report per Project Description and Conditions of Approval from Public Health Services Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hawley: Thank you for contacting me to submit this proposal for providing a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report (SSCR). As Mike Huggins of the Environmental Health Department has written to you about, this report is required by the Health Department. The contents of my proposal are based upon the written requirements of the Health Department and our conversation on June 25, 2001. Potential or real sources of surface and subsurface contamination caused by past or present land uses must be documented. My report will include an evaluation of potential non-point sources of hazardous materials such as on-site and surrounding agrichemical usage and possible point sources, such as storage tanks and commercial/industrial facilities like the County Dumps. As noted, there is an apparent nitrate problem under your property and in this general location. I propose to investigate the origins of the nitrate contamination and discuss prevention and mitigation measures. However, there is no assurance that the Health Department will not impose or request nitrate testing on your property and surrounding properties. This report will be completed on a fixed fee basis f$2.55 . wh' h includes the Report Review Fee of$17?that I will pay at the time of report submi gain, I cannot guarantee that chemical testing on the soil and/or groundwater will not be necessary, which would be at an additional, unknown cost. A Retainer Fee of$1,000 is requested before the start of this Report. After all information gathering is complete, the findings will be compiled into a written report to be submitted to the Environmental Health Department. The invoice balance will be due at this time. It is important to recognize that considerable uncertainty is inherent in conducting these types of environmental investigations. Unforeseen conditions may significantly affect our ability to draw conclusions or make recommendations based on the investigative parameters as promulgated in the San Joaquin County Ordinances. Therefore,the Client agrees to limit all-encompassing liability to Valley Ag Research, its owners and agents to the cost of providing this Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report($2,550). P.O.
