Ron Rowe has indicated that sometimes Caltrans permits can be approved as quickly as two weeks, and in that case, drilling would proceed sooner. However, scheduling the CPT rig can be problematic due to the rig's availability. That is why proper planning and lead time is important. Cost Implications: You should not incur any out of pocket expenses for this phase of work. Clearwater will carry the costs of the two drilling subcontractors (a total of $9,784) and the analytical lab costs (a total of $3,744). Total charges for all Clearwater personri:el., subcontractors, and permits ($1,0$4 for permits) will be due upon your receipt of reimbursement money from the State Fund. Data Evaluation/Pilot rest Design and Reporting Assuming that our longest lead time for permitting requires us to wait to drill during the week of January 8th and assuming that we receive analytical results seven days after submittal to the laboratory (January 23rd), and that data evaluation and reporting will take two weeks, our final report can be ready for submittal to PHS/EHD by approximately February 9, 1996, Cost Implications: Again, you will incur no out of pocket expenses for this phase of work. These costs are much easier ,for Clearwater to carry because they include only our persoruzel charges and no subcontractor charges. Conclusions In a discussion I had with Ron Rove on November 16th, he indicated his willingness to extend our deadline if given a detailed explanation for the extension request. I know that he spoke with A.nnabell Mackey yesterday as well, so he has a better idea as to the problems you have had with receiving your LOC. I would suggest giving Ron a copy of this letter, with a letter from you which requests that the deadline be extended to February 9, 1996. I think you will find that Ron will be receptive to this request given the information in this letter, his discussion with the State Fund, and his willingness to work with us towards corrective action at your site in a positive manner. Bruce Inman and I will work closely to ensure that you receive your LOC within the next month. Any time that I spezid on your reimbursement issue, such as this letter, will not be charged to vou. Bruce and I have devised a reimbursement request plan which will ensure that you will receive your out of pocket expenses as quickly as possible. If we can proceed with the stockpiled soil sampling, off-hauling, and backfilling by mid December, I 4
