Kitty Walker <br />Page 3 <br />proposed subdivision must therefore be restricted. Ground water <br />extraction, for whatever uses, could affect gradient control and <br />may draw contaminated ground water from the site and expose <br />residents to contaminants. <br />Available information indicates that Libbey-Owens-Ford Company <br />has experienced three recent petroleum hydrocarbon spills which <br />have resulted in contaminated ground water and soil at the <br />facility. All three spills have been or are currently undergoing <br />remediation using ground water extraction and soil aeration <br />techniques. Based on available information, we have no reason to <br />believe that existing petroleum contamination and/or remediation <br />activities at the Libbey-Owens-Ford Company site pose a potential <br />threat to the proposed subdivision. <br />Three large ponds are located at the proposed subdivision site. <br />Available information indicates that two of the ponds are used <br />for drainage purposes and will remain in place. The third pond <br />was used as a sewage pond and is scheduled for cleanup and <br />removal by the applicant. Historical uses of these ponds and the <br />subdivision site should be thoroughly evaluated to ensure that <br />hazardous waste has not been disposed at this site. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this <br />situation. If you have further questions regarding this letter <br />or border zone property issues, please contact Barbara Marcotte <br />at (916) 324-2434. <br />Sincerely, <br />Allen K. Wolfenden, Chief <br />Technical Services Unit <br />Toxic Substances Control <br />Division <br />
