PHS/EHD has prepared the following comments for your consideration. The Addendum proposed the installation of up to five soil borings to investigate the extent of the residual soil contamination evidenced. The Addendum indicated that the original scope of work proposed in the work plan dated April 4,1994 which included the drilling of one slant and two vertical soil borings, could not be performed because the excavation had been backfilled from 17 to 2 feet below grade, preventing access by a drill rig. The work proposed in the original work plan was performed, with modification, without PHS/EHD's prior notification and hence was not recognized as valid. State Water Resources Control Board SWRCB) Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund staff has indicated that the work performed, not recognized as valid, will not be eligible for reimbursement. The Addendum's proposed scope of work also should provide the information necessary to evaluate the residual soil contamination. The Addendum indicated that up to three soil samples will be collected from some soil borings, while the original work plan only proposed that two would be collected. An estimate of the costs associated with the Addendum should be submitted to the SWRCB Cleanup Fund Unit staff for evaluation. As PHS/EHD stated in correspondence dated May 4, 1994, please provide PHS/EHD with 48 hours notice prior to initiating field activities so that PHS/EHD can witness soil sampling and grouting.
