Q CALIFORNIA GEOPHYSICAL GROUP , INC . P . O . Box 578341 , Modesto, CA 95357 Tel : (209) 527- 1247 October 4 , 1995 Fax : (209) 527-4810 Mr . Howard Shook Beneto , Inc . P . O . Box 1496 West Sacramento , CA 95691 Dear Howard : I have reviewed the Access Agreement from Pep Boys , which you sent me on September 29 , 1995 . My comments of the agreement are as follows . Under the Section " Matters of Agreementi° item 2 , 6th line it states : Darpetro shall not submit any soil removed from the excavation ( s ) or collected from the premises to any scientific or engineering testing without the prior written approval of Pep Boys . The purpose of the drilling of the borings and the well is to sample the soil and water . I am including a copy of the Work Plan of March 15 , 1995 which lists the type of laboratory analyses which will be performed under section " Laboratory Testing " . I believe this testing should be agreed upon in the agreement and not at a later date . In the same paragraph it states Darpetro Shall provide the opportunity for Pep Boys to obtain split- samples of all material collected . This will not be a problem provided they have a collector on site at the time the work is performed . I DO NOT believe we could keep and preserve any samples to be given to them at some later date . Item 5 1st sentence talks about interference and inconvenience to normal business operations . The drilling will take place in the parking area of the store . The drilling equipment will, take up some parking space and possibly close a driving lane in the parking lot . We will position the equipment so that normal traffic flow will continue but may be limited . Figure 1 of the attached Work Plan shows the locations of three hydropunch borings HP- 3 , HP- 4 and HP- 5 and one monitoring well BM- 12 . These sites will be marked with white paint at least 2 weeks prior to the actual drilling , as required by California Law . They should check these sites and assure us that they do not have any utilities under the marked areas . If they do not wish to check the drilling sites , they should provide us with a scaled map showing the locations of the underground utilities or pipes , j which we will use to position the wells . I Item 10 discusses the insurance requirements . our firm carries one million dollars General Liability insurance . Our insurance agent informs us the cost to increase this will be about
