State of California • Department of Health Services Memorandum To Jeanine Jones Date : January 17 , 1986 Senior Waste Management Engineer Subject: Marley Cooling Tower Company From M=gRouuch Waste Management Engineer On January 13 , 1986 , I met with Marvin Young of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Bob Fujii of the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to discuss Marley' s ongoing remedial investigation work and a schedule for this work. Attached you will find our proposed schedule of activities. After reviewing the Soil Assessment Report and the Groundwater Assessment Report, the following are my comments: Soil Report o There is a need for further soil characterization to evaluate the potential for contaminant migration into the saturated zone. o CAM criteria (STLC and TTLC levels) were used to determine if the soil was to be considered hazardous. This was a decision-making tool used to determine the need for further (deeper) sample analysis. Contaminant levels below these levels but above background levels are also of concern. In no way should the STLC and TTLC levels be considered applied action levels or clean-up levels. Cleanup levels will be established at a future date. o Except for boreholes B-1 and B-2 , copies of actual lab chemical analysis results are not included. Marley should provide a copy of all actual analysis results in a separate binder. In addition, lab soil classification test results (Atterberg limits and soil gradation) must be included with the lab analysis data. Surface runoff water sample analyses have not been provided, therefore, they can be included in this binder also. o An assessment should be made to determine the amount of contamination directly under the asphalt in the general area of the retort pit.
