MODESTO,CALIFORNIA 95353 <br /> October 9, 1991 <br /> Ms. Laurie Cotulla <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services <br /> Environmental Health Division 0 C T <br /> P. o. Box 2009 <br /> NVIRC)NMENTAL lei:ALTH Stockton, CA 95201 PI"RMIT/Si=RVICES <br /> Dear Mg. Cotulla: <br /> I am enclosing RESNA's response to San Joaquin County Public Health Services/Environmental <br /> Health Division(PHSTHD)letter of September 10, 1991. Z would like to add additional comments to item <br /> numbers 5, 7 and S. <br /> The open pit was a safety hazard and I wrote a letter to the San Joaquin Local Health District <br /> (SJLHD) in 1987 requesting a decision and instruction from SJLHD to return the excavated soil if the <br /> analytical analysis show no contamination I received no response. ENSCO Environmental Services followed <br /> up with a letter to Mr.Gordon Boggs,CVRWQCB,on July 1, 1988, outlining a proposal to collect eight soil <br /> samples from the pile and to have the laboratory composite the eight samples and run an analysis on the <br /> composite sample, We received no response. As stated in RESNA's re$ponsc, "at the time and currently in <br /> some areas,one composite sample was/€s considered adequately representative for a volume of soil considerably <br /> less than 50 cubic yards". The eight samples were drawn,composited and analysed. The result of the analysis <br /> showed no contamination. The results were reported to CVRWQCB and PHS/EHD and we received no <br /> comments. the piled soil was returned to the pit in 1990. <br /> I have been involved with this project from its inception and have made every effort to comply with <br /> PHS/EHD requirements for the remediation of this contamination. I fail to understand why additional <br /> sampling and explanation is necessary every time a new staff member is assigned to the project. An example <br /> is Item 7. If there was a problem,it should have been addressed at the time and not four years later. <br /> P.0.
