<br /> To: Mr. Girish Patel
<br /> St. Francis Motel
<br /> 5708 North Highway 99 Frontage Road
<br /> Stockton, CA 95212
<br /> (209) 931-3341
<br /> From: Edward W. Finucane, PE, QEP, CSP, CIH
<br /> Subject: Report#040301-L, concerning the measured levels of ambient air and surface contamina-
<br /> tion that remain in the motel room identified below:
<br /> St. Francis Motel
<br /> Room 108
<br /> 5703 North Highway 99 Frontage Road
<br /> Stockton, CA 95212
<br /> This on-site evaluation was completed at 9:55 AM,on Wednesday, 5 May 2004.
<br /> The above referenced location was raided by Narcotics Officers who had been advised at the time of
<br /> their action that this motel room might have been functioning as a"Drug Lab," most probably for the
<br /> manufacture of methamphetamines or"Crank." Because of the nature and the inherent dangers asso-
<br /> ciated with clandestine drug manufacturing, and because a number of toxic chemicals are routinely used
<br /> during these types of operations, concern remained about the possibility that hazardous and/or toxic
<br /> residues might still exist at this location,both in the motel room and the facility's septic tank.
<br /> On the morning of Wednesday, 5 May 2004, I monitored the ambient air in all the areas of this motel
<br /> room. In completing this monitoring task, I used two analytical instruments that had been calibration
<br /> checked on the afternoon of Tuesday,4 May 2004. These two instruments are capable of detecting and
<br /> quantifying low concentration levels (0.01 —0.10 ppm) of all the volatile solvents commonly used in
<br /> the manufacture of illicit drugs. In order, I monitored for: (1) acetone, (2) dichloromethane, (3) isopro-
<br /> panol, (4)methanol, (5) toluene, (6) chloroform, and finally, (7) 1,1,1-trichloroethane. I was able to de-
<br /> termine that every area within this motel room was clear of hazardous or toxic levels of the vapors of
<br /> each of these seven chemicals.
<br /> In addition, I checked this location's most likely work surfaces. In these checks,I looked for signs of
<br /> acidic or alkaline residues. None of the areas I checked showed any evidence of these types of resi-
<br /> dues, or of any other type of toxic contamination. It is my judgment that none of the interior portions
<br /> of this motel room pose any health hazard to anyone who would be required to be in any part of it. A
<br /> final determination of the contents of the septic tank remains yet to be completed. As soon as I receive
<br /> the results of these laboratory tests, I will prepare a supplemental Report identifying the situation.
<br /> Should you have any questions on any of the conclusions of this report,please do not hesitate to con-
<br /> tact me. Thank you very much for permitting me vice to you in this matter.
