Michael Infurna <br /> October 9, 1995 <br /> • Page 3 <br /> to be obtained from additional borings would alter the method of remediation <br /> to be used at the Togo's site <br /> 5 Extent of Contarnination/Cleanup Method <br /> It is our understanding that, in a telephone conversation on September 6, 1995, <br /> you advised Tom Mason of the FDIC that you felt that the site had been <br /> adequately characterized However, in your October 4, 1995 letter to Mr <br /> Mason, you suggest that the vertical and horizontal extent of the contamination <br /> at the site has not been adequately defined In addition, your letter states that <br /> "a cost-effective method of cleanup" will have to be presented for evaluation <br /> However, the PAR presents and discusses in detail several remedial options, <br /> and proposes a limited vapor extraction system as the most cost-effective <br /> method of cleanup (Seg Sections 5 0 - 5 8) <br /> We are puzzled by these comments in your letter and would appreciate <br /> clarification at our upcoming meeting regarding what was intended If you <br /> have specific concerns about the PAR, please let us know what they are in <br /> advance of our meeting. <br /> 6 The Bokides Site <br /> As you are aware, we believe that the Bokides site is a source of the ground <br /> water contamination beneath the Togo's site As further discussed in the PAR, <br /> the Bolades site is upgradient from the Togo's site and the gasoline additive <br /> MTBE was detected in the highest concentrations in MW-5, which is located <br /> on the sidewalk adjacent to the Bokides site The enclosed materials confirm <br /> that MTBE was introduced as an additive during the 1980s, after all gas <br /> stations had ceased to operate at the Togo's site We will be prepared to <br /> discuss this issue with you in greater detail at our meeting <br /> In this connection, although we have made several attempts to obtain copies of <br /> the Bokides' site investigation test results from both your agency and Mr <br /> Boludes' counsel, to date we have been unable to do so We would appreciate <br /> it if you would provide us with copies of the results, so that we may review <br /> them and provide you with our comments <br /> 40 <br /> DOWNEY BRAND SEYMOUR & ROHWER <br />
