Page 6 of 7 <br /> At the destructions I have witnessed that use detonation cord and explosive charges, the most I have felt is a <br /> thump at my feet. These destruction events have taken place within city limits near homes and businesses, <br /> inside a building, within five feet of the footings of a building, within five feet of very old and large water lines at <br /> a prison that the State had similar concerns, as you. The destructions went off without any adverse effects or <br /> damage to these structures. <br /> Unfortunately,the CMT well at your site cannot be drilled out. The material does not cut. It stretches and pulls <br /> like taffy.-Hence why explosives are being required to cut the casing so it can be drilled out.The training is for <br /> the best method to destroy a CMT well. <br /> This is the first I have heard that your consultant has any concerns with using explosives. We used this same <br /> method on a CMT well at an active gas station this past summer without incident. 1 believe they were involved. <br /> Please-call me so 1 may explain the process to you and address your concerns. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Adrienne <br /> Adrienne Ellsaesser, REH5 <br /> Program Coordinator <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> 1868 East Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton , CA 95205 <br /> Ph (209) 468-0343 <br /> Fax (209) 468-0341 <br /> aellsaesser@jcehd.com <br /> From: David Atwater mailto:dbatwater vande ol.us] <br /> Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 12:44 PM <br /> To: Adrienne Ellsaesser [EH]; Nuel Henderson [EH] <br /> Cc: George V.

I have <br /> been made aware of a certain explosive well destruction technique required for this project next week,over the <br /> very strong objections of our professional consulting firm, Advanced GeoEnvironmental. This is an extreemly <br /> rare procedure and I can guess why that is. <br /> I object to the use of any explosive techniques to accomplish well removal that can be with a.rotary drill and <br /> bentonite mix grout. The danger of causing shock type earth disturbance can and may have many dangerous <br /> and foreseeable side effects and therefore should not be permitted in a commercial and heavy residential <br /> neighborhood. Add to this,the fact that the area is of much older construction and you can imagine many <br /> possible issues: <br /> 11/26/2012 <br />
