Pagel of 5 16 Mike Infurna [EH] From: Eisert, James [James.Eisert@arcadis-us.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 8:59 AM To: Mike Infurna [EH] Cc: Hackman, Scott; Davis, Scott Subject: RE: Tracy, CA- Maintenance Facility-Well Destructions Hi, Mike Let's proceed as is. We will over-drill since I have no idea how else to "prove" we removed the well entirely. I'm sure over-drilling the five vapor monitoring points to ten feet will do it.As usual, we will back-fill with grout then cover with native soil. Please confirm you have everything you need from us to issue the well destruction permits. If so, we plan on starting Tuesday, November 1S, 2011. Thank you, James From: Mike Infurna [EH] [mailto:MInfurna@sjcehd.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 20118:37 AM To: Eisert, James Subject: RE: Tracy, CA - Maintenance Facility - Well Destructions James, Thanks for the reply. Personally, I don't perceive a problem with a quarter inch tube. I'm a regulator and I'm mandated to follow the regs. Ours says "remove the contents". Simple interpretation. So our FIRST plan is to go for that. One big reason EHD inspectors are onsite for well destructions and grouts....our regs require it. IF changes/problems/site conditions dictate that Plan A can not be successfully accomplished, then we have the authority to move to Plan B. and so on as each plan may fail. "HOW' you remove the contents is up to you. In my 23 years I've seen dozens of attempts and dozens of failures. Drillers are inventive and accommodating. Discuss this with them and they have methods that are simpler than drilling and cheaper/less time consuming. I'm an `ends' kinda guy. You provide the `means'. With the `contents' removed, I'm happy. YOU came up with the (over) drill out. Not me. If drilling is your Plan A, I'm ok with it. Typically, I see drilling as a Plan C or D....if you get my drift. If you insist on "pulling", fine. Prove to me all the contents are removed. W/o 11/8/2011
