Hi Josh, • <br /> thanks for the schedule. Alternative A would be best for us. I will mark my calendar. <br /> Unfortunately this commingled plume site has a Cleanup and Abatement Order (CAO), which <br /> complicates your request for a No Further Action Required <br /> (NFAR) letter prior to well abandonment. Management has stated that the CAO will not be rescinded <br /> until wells are properly destroyed. And rescinding the CAO is accomplished through a paragraph in <br /> the NFAR letter. <br /> Thanks. <br /> Jim Barton <br /> >>> Josh Ewert <ewert@geoconinc.com> 10/4/2011 10:39 AM >>> <br /> Hi Jim, <br /> Unfortunately, getting the wells destroyed prior to October 14th is not possible. County inspectors are <br /> completely booked up until October 31 st. <br /> Additionally, the earliest that the drilling company can start is November 14th. I also have to take into <br /> account that we'll be working in a mall parking lot which means the clients understandably won't let <br /> us work between the Thanksgiving and New Years. Right now, the options that I'm looking at are as <br /> follows: <br /> A) Start on November 14th, get as much of the work done as possible until Thanksgiving Eve and <br /> then pick up where we left off after New Years or <br /> B) Start after New Years and work continuously until finished. <br /> Both of these are doable but for logistical reasons I am leaning toward starting after New Years. Still, <br /> I'd like to hear your thoughts about scheduling. I'd also like to find out what the possibility is of the <br /> Regional Board issuing the NFA prior to completing the well abandonment. Is that something you'd <br /> consider and would starting before the holidays have any impact on went the NFA is issued? <br /> Thanks, <br /> -Josh Ewert I Senior Staff Geologist <br /> Geocon Consultants, Inc. <br /> 3160 Gold Valley Drive Suite 800, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 <br /> Tel 916.852.9118 Fax 916.852.9132 <br /> www.geoconinc.com <br /> -----Original Message----- <br /> From: Jim Barton [mailto:jbarton@waterboards.ca.gov] <br /> Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 3:09 PM <br /> To: Josh Ewert <br /> Subject: Well Destruction Schedule, 5400-5606 Pacific Ave., Stockton, San Joaquin Co. <br /> Hi Josh, <br /> Brenda Evans at AECOM said that you are the contact for the well destructions at the UNOCAL / <br /> WARDS commingled plume located at the above addresses.
