PUBLIC HEALTH SERVIC*S <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY _ ?` <br /> a al <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION P. ?Li <br /> Karen Furst, M.D., M.P.H., Health Officer <br /> 304 East Weber Avenue, Third Floor • Stockton, CA 95202 `i 6 <br /> 209/468-3420 <br /> WILLIAM & TERRY GODINEZ APR 0 5 2001 <br /> 233 PARALLEL AVENUE <br /> RIPON CA 95366 <br /> RE: Abandoned well at 233 Parallel Avenue, Ripon <br /> Please find enclosed a "Notice To Abate" from San Joaquin County Public Health <br /> Services, Environmental Health Division (PHS/EHD) for the abandon well located on <br /> your property. As the property owner you are responsible for the proper destruction of <br /> this abandoned well. <br /> PHS/EHD has discussed destruction of this well with IT Corporation, the consultant for <br /> Nestle Food, since the well water has been impacted by the contamination emanating <br /> from the Nestle site. It is our understanding that Nestle has agreed to arrange for <br /> destruction of the well since the contamination from their site has made the well no <br /> longer useful. <br /> The construction of the well is unknown. The space between the borehole wall and the <br /> well casing is not confirmed to be sealed. If this space is not sealed it can be a conduit <br /> for the spread of contaminants. Therefore, perforation of the well casing so this space <br /> can be filled with grout is required. Perforation can be accomplished by explosive <br /> charges with projectiles that penetrate and blast holes through the casing or by use of <br /> drilling equipment that pierces and rips holes in the casing. Once the casing is <br /> perforated, the well is filled with grout. <br /> IT Corporation on behalf of Nestle has proposed pressure grouting the well without <br /> perforation and this is not acceptable to PHS/EHD. <br /> You must comply with the enclosed "Notice to Abate" that requires perforation of the well <br /> casing and destruction of the well under permit and inspection of PHS/EHD by May 16, <br /> 2001. <br /> If you have any questions contact me at (209)468-3449. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmmenntnall Healthh Division <br /> —� U � U <br /> Margaret Lagorio, Supervising REHS <br /> Site Mitigation Unit <br /> Enc. <br /> c: IT Corporation <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
