Upgradi&At Environmental consultants '' Febaruary 17, 1998 Mr. Michael Infurna, Senior REHS 9$ FEB 19 AIS 11: 38 Public Health Services Environmental Health Division San Joaquin County P. O. Box 2009 Stockton,CA 95201 Subject: Work Plan Addendum Kwikee Food Mart 2081 Country Club Boulevard - Stomion,CA Dear Mr. Inf ima: On behalf of Mr. William Peters,Upgradient Environmental Consultants would like to amend the October 1997 work plan for further investigation of groundwater contamination at 2081 Country Club Boulevard. Specifically,we request that off-site drilling, including the monitoring well that was proposed in Franklin Street,be postponed. We have three reasons for making this request: 1)groundwater monitoring in November, 1997 indicated that the flow direction is still eastward rather than northward. Hence,a well on Franklin Street is unlikely to intercept contaminated groundwater from the Kwikee Foods property; 2)several monitoring wells already exist near the proposed well and are currently providing data regarding groundwater contamination and flow direction; 3)the San Joaquin County Department of Public Works requires that a$2,000 bond be posted in order to obtain an Encroachment Permit. Due to the well's questionable value and Mr. Peter's limited financial resources at this time,this money could be better spent on other activities, such as removing the underground storage tanks from the site. We would like to re-evaluate the option of drilling a well in Franklin Street at a later time,after the new on-site wells have been installed and quarterly monitoring has begun. We hope that this plan is acceptable to you. The UST removal is currently planned for early March, with drilling to follow soon after. Sin erely, Victor B. Cherven,Ph.
