Three of the four <br /> chromium samples exceeded it by more than 10 times requiring a STLC analysis. <br /> Additionally, the lab results for Sample ID "Sierra Chem-3" indicated total lead (78 mg/kg) <br /> exceeded the STLC limit of 5 mg/I by more than 10 times which also requires a STLC <br /> analysis. You had STLC analyses for all four chromium samples and the results of those <br /> analyses were below 5 mg/I. You did not run a STLC for the total lead, which is still <br /> needed. <br /> The EHD does not believe the results indicate, as you stated in your August 31, 2006 <br /> letter ".... the previous sample collected on July 28, 2005 was anomalous and not <br /> representative of the area." In fact, after reviewing the results and seeing there are <br /> levels of metals in the soil, albeit not at hazardous levels for the data submitted so far, <br /> the EHD recommends you submit your data to the California Department of Toxic <br /> Substances Control (DTSC) for review. You can do this by entering into a Voluntary <br /> Cleanup Agreement with DTSC. <br /> For more information on Voluntary Cleanup Agreements, please contact: <br />
