Mike Infurna [EH] From: Sent To: Cc: Subject: Importance: Jay Jahangiri [TRECONSULTING©attbi.com] Tuesday, June 10, 2003 9:03 AM Mike Infurna [EH] CMPRGCEGHG©aol.com; Norman Hauser; Al Gamier; Leif Gistrand; Thomas Mogan; Catherine Hall-Kanellis Re: Sampling of the Monitoring Wells on Thursday June 12, 2003 High Good Morning Mike: I would have to discuss your request with Metropolitan Stevedore Company (MSC) management for guidance and direction and get back with you folks in form of a meeting and possible a round table discussions of sorts. In the meantime, on behalf of MSC, TRE's concerns relative to repeating the entire baseline analysis of 1991 are as follows: To our knowledge, MSC's industrial activities and operations conducted on site to date does not support analyzing the ground water for an expanded list of COCs. It would be both cost prohibitive and technically unjustifiable in terms of looking at COCs that have had nothing to so with MSC's industrial operations. After all MSC is not the land owner. Neither is MSC responsible for the industrial history of the site and any consequential ground water impairments predating to and or unrelated to MSC's industrial operations and activities. The reason the baseline had an expanded list of COCs was to have an overall ideal of types of baseline conditions associated with the ground water beneath the site. To suggest that MSC should repeat the entire baseline list of COCs is both unreasonable and not supported by good science. As analyzing the ground water for more than what MSC industrial operations has entailed would be obtaining data which could very well yield inconclusive and confounding results at best. Your request appears to be something that the land owner and or other former industrial users of the site should be engaging in above and beyond our proposed sampling and analyzes of the ground water. Particularly, those entities that engaged in the sundries of industrial activities that could be potentially attributed to the COCs that you and the CVRWQCB have requested. I would certainly discuss your request with MSC, which to date has put forth a great deal of good faith as a cooperating party to sample the ground water for its lion share of its industrial activities on site so the four monitoring wells (MW-1 through 4) can be properly closed in place as required by the SJCEHD's ordinance. I will contact you and Wendy to set up a meeting to further discuss this. Please stay tuned. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 209-601-7048 Have a Nice Day Jay 1
