RECEIVED <br /> Letter of concern JUL. 2 5 2012 <br /> July 23, 2012 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH <br /> PERMIT/SERVICES <br /> I as the property owner of the only residential well that was being tested for the hazardous chemical <br /> MTBE from the leaking of the underground gas wells into the ground water located at 5451 West F <br /> street Banta has a concern with the abandonment of the project. My well was tested and was positive <br /> for high levels MTB the gas additive that is a potential carcinogen. I have a son that was diagnosed with <br /> stage IV colon and liver cancer and I am not sure that these chemicals in our drinking water did not <br /> contribute to his acquiring these types.of cancer. My son was the only person that used the well 24 <br /> hours a day 7 days a week. My husband and myself both worked outside of the home so we were not <br /> exposed to the same extend as my son who with every sip of water was adding cancer causing chemicals <br /> to his system. Although there is limited data on the health effects on ingesting the MTBE's I still <br /> believe that we were put at a health risk which has:proven itself with my son's cancers. <br /> Thank you for allowing me to voice my concerns.and I hope you take my concerns into consideration <br /> when making your final decision. <br /> Debbie Rhodes-Kelso <br /> 5451 West F street <br /> Banta, California 95304 <br /> i <br /> a <br /> � I <br /> i <br /> I <br />
