By way of background, as you know, and per our discussions, Metropolitan Stevedore Company (MSC) would like to destroy and properly close four monitoring wells at a portion of its current leased facility leased from the Port of Stockton. MSC constructed the subject wells in 1991 in order to establish baseline conditions and fulfill property due diligence. MSC's monitoring wells have not been subject to any regulatory clean up orders and or monitoring obligations. The site similar to the majority of the Port's land parcels have been used for industrial use in the past and there were and are industrial activities nearby. My firm, TRE Consulting has been hired by MSC to work with the San Joaquin County EHD to properly close these wells so they do not become a conduit for ground water contamination. In working with Mike Infurna and Margaret Lagorio of the San Joaquin County EHD, sampling and analysis of representative ground water samples have been identified as a requirement which according to the County EHD has been mandated by your office. We are working very diligently with MSC in partnering with the SJ County EHD toward accomplishing 4 primary tasks toward the closure of the wells under the SJ County Ordinance Code, Chapter 9-1115. 1. Submit a Master file application and a check for the amount of $267 2. Asses the monitoring wells conditions 3. Coordinate a field appointment with your office for sampling of these wells 4. Submit a report of the findings of the sampling and analysis to you and Wendy Cohen of the CVRWQCB. Given the above background and framework, on behalf of MSC, we would, however, ask for clarification as to the CVRWQCB's regulatory authority which requires MSC to sample these wells. Also, given the industrial surroundings of the site and its industrial history, MSC's primary concern is not to be vacuumed into a clean up order for activities and ground water issues that would be unrelated to its activities. In any event, we are working very closely with Mike Infurna of the County EHD toward the physical closure of these wells. Relative to any potential ground water issues, we would like to meet with you and your staff to hold a meeting discuss the foregoing issues. I will be in touch with you and update you as we progress through this project. In closing, I would like to thank you very much for your insightful comments and mentoring during our discussions yesterday.
