Chevron Products Company 2 Former Chevron 9-5775, 301 West Kettletnan Lane, Lodi, CA November 16, 2000 representing the owner of the property with the Shell service station). On November 1, 2000, Ms. Diepenbrock was contacted and faxed an access agreement. Between November 1 and 8, 2000, numerous calls were placed between SECOR and Ms. Diepenbrock. On November 8, 2000, Ms. Diepenbrock rejected access to the site to install a well. During a phone conversation on November 10, 2000, between Ron Chinn (SECOR) and Karen Diepenbrock it was agreed that a sentinel well (MW -8S) could be placed on their property. However, she felt that further modifications to the standard Chevron access agreement would be required. Ms. Diepenbrock indicated that she would provide a revised access agreement "in a few days". Further revisions are likely in negotiation between Chevron Legal and Ms. Diepenbrock. It is anticipated that access to the Shell property may take approximately one month. Based on delays associated with gaining access to the Shell property, we propose a revised report submittal deadline for the PAR/FRP of February 16, 2000. A time -line for the tasks leading to the submittal of the PAR/FRP is presented as Attachment A. Well Installation Update Between October 25 and November 3, 2000, groundwater extraction well EX -3 was drilled and completed by Western Strata Exploration (WESTEX). Both representatives l of the RWQCB and San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) were present to observe some of the field activities associated with the installation of groundwater extraction well EX -3. As you are aware, many difficulties were encountered both scheduling a driller and during the installation process. Some of the difficulties are documented below: • Only WESTEX was available to install the well within the requested time frame (late October / early November). The drilling companies that were contacted for the installation of EX -3 are presented in Table 1. • On October 26, 2000, WESTEX failed to show up at the site on time (approximately 5 hours late) and with the proper equipment. Many critical items were not brought including drums and casing. No drilling was performed. • WESTEX walked off the site on October 27, 2000. WESTEX project Coordinator Gordon Jensen could not be contacted nor would he return calls regarding the situation. No drilling was performed. • On October 30, 2000, Gordon Jensen was contacted and it was agreed that drilling would resume on October 31, 2000. Gordon Jensen was apologetic, but could not provide a reasonable explanation to explain why he had instructed the drillers to leave the site.
