This contract includes a provision for technical support by the <br /> California Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCS). <br /> PHSIEHD has recently received a letter from the CVRWQCS that provides guidance on how to <br /> analyze for the oxygenated compounds in gasoline until a "definitive protocol" can be <br /> established. Based on this letter, PHSIEHD is directing you to analyze samples from all of <br /> your monitoring wells for Tertiary Butyl Alcohol (TBA), Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether(MTBE), Di- . <br /> isopropyl ether(DIPS), Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether(E i SE) and Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether <br /> (TAME) by EPA method 8260. PHSIEHD will require analysis of samples for Methanol and <br /> Ethanol where there is reason to believe that these compounds were stored in the underground <br /> tank(s). <br /> PHSIEHD requires quarterly sampling of all wells where the presence of oxygenates is <br /> confirmed by EPA method 8260. Modification of this required sampling such as number of wells <br /> sampled, sampling frequency and method of analysis may be granted only after initial sample <br /> results are reviewed by PHSIEHD. Any modification of the required sampling must have <br /> PHS/EHD approval prior to implementation. <br /> For additional information please call your LOP contact. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> t <br /> Margaret Lagorio, RENS <br /> LOP Supervisor <br /> encs. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Cue Services <br />
