Thus far only one of the owners has signed a Shell access agreement so that a sample of <br /> the well could be obtained. Methyl tertiary butyl ether(MTBE)which is a gasoline oxygenate has been <br /> detected in the sample collected. There are not regulatory maximum contaminant levels established for <br /> drinking water standards for public water systems thus far, but the State of California Department of <br /> Health Services has established an interim action level of 35 parts per billion(ppb). Also,taste and odor <br /> thresholds have been reported at 15 to 45 ppb. The contamination that was detected in the drinking water <br /> well sampled thus far has been less than either level. <br /> PHS/EHD encourages you respond to this notification, so that your well too can be sampled by Shell at <br /> no expense to you. I can be reached at(209)468-0337 to answer any questions you may have and to <br /> facilitate communication with Shell Oil. <br /> Thank you for your cooperation. <br /> Donna Heran, Director, REHS <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> Mary Meays, Senior HS Margare�I <br /> Site Mitigation Unit Supervisor <br /> cc: Elizabeth Thayer, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board <br /> cc: Steve Gutierrez, San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors <br /> cc: Alex Perez, Shell Oil Company <br /> cc: Joe Neeley,Enviros <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
