Muniappa Naidu [EH] From: Sam Martinez [SMartin2@dtsc.ca.gov] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 1:52 PM To: David Wood; Rayna Mills Cc: Jim Dyke; Mia S. Brown; Rod Attebery; Kasey Foley [EH]; Linda Turkatte [EH]; Muniappa Naidu [EH]; Willy Ng [EH] Subject: Re: Gordon Research Site 11-1 Sam Martinez.vcf David and Rayna, Thank you for taking the time to review our records and taking a few moments to discuss this site. With respect to your action items: 1) I would like to have the well sampled now, and while DTSC could modify the Order under section 6.21, I would rather have such sampling occur voluntarily. Since the well represents an exposure pathway, a minimal approach would be to sample the well now and determine if the water meets current, applicable drinking water standards and criteria. Once those results are available in conjunction with SJCEHD we can make a decision as to whether or not additional sampling is necessary. 2) Thank you for bringing the sign in, it is approved. 3) With respect to the Chemical Identification and Segregation Plan, the order describes a detailed scope of work. I provided some information to Rayna regarding the chlorine institute, the propane association, and compressed gas cylinder handling guides. The plan will need to include identification procedures for solids, liquids and gasses; these are some of the references I used in my tenure as a member of DTSC's Emergency Response Unit. Please make sure that the components enumerated in the Order are found in the plan. The content of the plan is important, the order in which the contents are presented is not. During our conversation today, you asked if I had a template for the Monthly Summary Report (MSR) . I do not have a template. The order contains a good listing of the elements. The who, what, where, when and why are important, a few hints: 1) Actual dates or periods should be included when enumerating the actions taken by or on behalf of the respondent with respect to the site during the reporting month (meetings, document submission, work) . For example: On December 12, 2007 the Project Coordinator conducted a review of the files maintained by DTSC; 2) Actions to be undertaken by or on behalf of the respondent in the current month; For example: During the current month, an IH, and a removal contractor were selected. theses entities were provided with copies of the order as required by Section 6.25 of the Order. There qualifications are attached for your review. 3) Planned activities for the next month; For example: During the next month the respondent plans to receive DTSC and SJCEHD comments on the Chemical Identification and Segregation Plan. 4) Requirements that were not met during the reporting month. For example: The collection of samples which was scheduled to occur on January 12 was postponed due to inclement weather. The sampling is scheduled to occur on February 14. Also, since the month is half over by the time the report is sent, discuss any requirements that will not be met. For example: Well sampling scheduled for this month was not completed, the well is currently dry due to the current regional drought, an attempt to collect the sample will be made in mid-May. I have found that successful Project Managers often report on what is going to occur in the next 90 days; 5) ; A discussion of any problems encountered or anticipated during the reporting month; and 6) include results from sample analysis or monitoring generated during the reporting month. For example included as attachment A are the analytical results for the eight samples collected on December 28, 2007. 7) The reports should be sent in by mail and be signed by the you or your designee. An MSR received by e-mail will be accepted as long as it is sent in a portable document file (pdf) and contains a signature. 1
