APR 2 3 1 '.R3 Ms. Hinsonr U �NV1R0^l `;Mr__�`s 1"AL F4cl!1.T1-i April 19, 1993 PERMIT/SERVICES 2 Thomas Yard area. The difference in calculated soil volume may be explained by settling of the stockpile during the two years since excavation or in an error in the calculation of the stockpile volume by ESE in 1990. Of note is that to our knowledge neither Delta Truck nor the Cecchini's have ever received County comments concerning the final report of excavation prepared by ESE dated November 8, 1990. The work at the time was being overseen by Ms. Darlene Reuss of the County. ESE had contacted the County in July 1992 prior to stockpile sampling for the purpose of determining the county's requirements for onsite treatment using landfarming. Ms. Margaret Legorio of the County informed ESE that metals and fish bioassay were needed in addition to petroleum hydrocarbons. No mention of the need for a County witness to the initial sampling was mentioned. Ms. Legorio also stated that a clean up level was to be proposed by the consultant and that the County would then review the proposal. Stockpile Analyses Soil stockpile sampling was performed by ESE in August of 1992 for the purpose of determining existing concentration of hydrocarbons in the stockpile and preparing a workplan for remediation. The stockpile sampling was documented in the above mentioned workplans. ESE on behalf of the Cecchini's request the following from the County: • The stockpile soil remediation be allowed to proceed as proposed in the workplan. The next phase of work will be disking, watering, and nutrient addition for a period of four to six weeks. At this point, the County will be notified to witness sampling for the purpose of determining remedial progress. • Agree to the clean up goal of 10 parts per million Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon for this soil remediation. With the stipulation that the soil will be used as fill on site. • Provide written closure of the subsurface former underground tank area known as Thomas Yard. Mr. Robert Cecchini will be mowing down the weeds on the stockpiled soil in the near future, because they are a fire hazard. ESE also requests that the County note that the Cecchini's, have performed in good faith at this site for the purpose of environmental clean up. However, they are not a corporation and cost is the greatest limiting factor in proceeding with the work.
