Our office is working in conjunction with the <br /> Department of Health Services and the Environmental Protection Agency to <br /> determine whether the practices at the Marley Cooling Tower Company (MCTC) <br /> site have resulted in contamination of the surrounding environment. <br /> Our Board is primarily responsible for the protection of both surface and <br /> ground water quality. The primary chemicals we are concerned about at the <br /> MCTC site are arsenic, copper, and chromium. Preliminary results of our <br /> investigation indicates there is some degree of. on-site contamination of the <br /> soils and ground water directly under the site. However, the results also <br /> show no off-site contamination occurring thus far. In fact, all off-site <br /> ground water analyses results obtained to date are well within safe drinking <br /> water levels. Off-site wells will continue to be monitored until we are <br /> certain the threat of contamination no longer exists. <br /> Any concerns regarding the health effects, as a result of exposure to any of <br /> the chemicals used at the MCTC facility, should be addressed to the Department <br /> of Health Services. They have the expertise necessary to evaluate all <br /> potential health risks. <br /> MCTC, with the approval of the Department of Health Services and the Environ- <br /> mental Protection Agency, will soon be implementing a Community Relations <br /> Plan under which the residents and concerned parties will be informed of <br /> significant impacts and developments concerning the MCTC investigation. <br /> If you should require additional information, please call me at (916) 322-1604. <br /> �J U <br /> ROBERT E.
