v R rrOlt%` Presno,December 10, 1992 Pamela S. Violett,R.E.H.S. k Environmental Health Division tom: 445 N. San Joaquin Street Stockton, California 95201 Dear Pamela, This letter is to confirm my understanding of our meeting of December 4, 1992,at your office in Stockton at which yourself,Mr. Irey,Mr.Ramirez myself and IA&.McDonald representing Claude C. Wood Co.were present. This meeting was called by h rify some of the issues G o n V• concerning the disposal of material from the Orwood Bridge cleanup project. my�e�L 1 �Tr i fF 19 m- Some of the material involved has been stored at Jersey Island,near Oakley, California/since rem✓oval -Ap �,2 from the Orwood Bridge,completed on November 18, 1992. Material was also removed from two other locations,Petes place and Middle River. The material from the latter two locations was hauled by Dillard ' Trucking to a landfill operated by Browning Ferris Inc., at Livermore, a class two disposal facility. At this meeting,Mr.McDonald proposed that he be given time to explore the possibility of disposing of the material at Jersey Island through.a co-generation plant. Mr. Irey stated that he did not feel this was possible to do,and still comply with regulations, but agreed to give Wood two days to produce documentation that this could be accomplished in a legal manner. I explained to Mr.McDonald that if this effort failed, Santa Fe would expect him to commence immediately to dispose of the material,as specified in our contract with him. We also discussed the issue of sub-contractors calling your office asking for variances to the contract. Mr.McDonald was instructed that this practice would not be acceptable in the future,that he was the prime contractor and that he would communicate directly with me. Mr. McDonald brought up the issue concerning the material having to be hauled by a licensed Hazardous Waste trucking company,and was referred to the terms of the contract. On December 8, 1992,Mr.McDonald called me and confirmed that disposal by co-generation was not possible. He stated that cleanup would commence as soon as the weather allowed, and would take 15 working days to complete. He explained that the site, where the material is stored,was inaccessible to trucks for 2 to 3 days after a rain storm. He stated the site was now wet,with more rain expected. During our conversation he asked me to approach Mr. Ircy to allow them to use a regular trucking firm instead of a Hazardous Waste Transporter,as these trucks can only handle half a load,due to the type tailgate,and be able to dump properly. He also stated that the cost per hour for these trucks was about$15 more per hour than a regular truck. I told him that I would approach Mr. Irey for this variance from the contract. Later that same day I talked with you and rclaycd all the above information, asking that you inform Mr. Trey of McDonald's request for the variance on the trucking. On December 10, 1992,1 received a phone call from you and was informed that Mr. Irey would not approve the variance on the trucking. You also asked that I give you written confirmation of my understanding of the meeting of December 4,and the events thereafter. If these events conflict with your understanding, I would appreciate your comments. I have informed Mr. McDonald of this decision and that we expect him to complete the disposal of this material as soon as the weather permits,as stated in our contract with the Claude C. Wood Co. You rcgnested the name and a contact of a Class 2 Landfill to be used,this is shown below. If I can provide any other information please contact me.
