Mike Infurna [EH] From: Mike Infurna [EH] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 2:25 PM To: 'Richard Dreessen' Subject: RE: Ranch Market Drilling Permits I don't know what to say about the permit fees. . .exhaustion May 5? Fatigue? Stupidity? Can't say, but I DO know when I wrote the work plan approval in Sept, this Clean Up Fund (CUF) site that is NOT a "D" category has SJ County permit fees for installations that include 3-hours of inspection time with the $89 installation fee or $60 destruction fee. Hour rate is $98/hour times three equals $294. Pluse the $89 equals $383 per. Ranch Market is a non-D LOP site and ALL LOP sites that are NOT classified as a "D" site with the Clean Up Fund pay this amount. The "D" sites also pay inspection fees, but they have an account set up and are billed for the time EHD is onsite. No account set up system is in place for Non D sites, so we collect the inspection fee up front. I'm sorry for the confusion with the May email. I made a mistake. The official work plan approval letter was the first and right amount. , I checked with EHD management to see if I can allow less than the $383 per application. I was advised No. The full amount for each permit is required. sorry again for the confusion. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Dreessen [mailto:dreessenOgeoconinc.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 12:13 PM To: Mike Infurna [EH] Subject: RE: Ranch Market Drilling Permits Dear Mike; I am sending this email copy from May 5 in regard to your most recent email of today May 27, concerning the permit fees. At that time I asked if there was an additional charge above the $89. The site is in the LOP program so there shouldn't be, right? In todays email you say there is an additional charge. Can you please tell me where I am interpreting things incorrectly. Is it because the site refers to Ranch Market only, not the adjoining properties? Also, if the additional amount exists what it is, 294 or 383? Does it apply to all 5 sites including Ranch Market. Or, to four sites, excluding Ranch Market? Yes we got the access agreement from all owners and encroachment permit from City right of way. They are all attached to the permits. So the locations go back to the original plan. However, we don't know till we clear each location where exactly it will fall on the ground, so the map in only a guessestimate as to location. As the workplan said, it will be real time in the field. Each location will depend on the previous location. wee estimate 14 locations and we estimate the position. The City of Riverbank owns the road to their sewage treatment plant and the Park The map I supplied was from the County assessor in Stockton and shows ownership to the City of Riverbank. I also went to Stockton, in person, and clarified that with the assessor. I also went to City of Riverbank Public Works and clarified, in person, with them also. The hangup was that until I had to go out to each and together we examined the records, neither had ever thought about it. Thanks, Rick Dreessen Senior Geologist Geocon Consultants, Inc. 1
