A copy of that Bill is enclosed. <br /> On February 22, 1994, Wendy Cohen of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality <br /> Control Board (CVRWQCB) wrote PHS/EHD a letter agreeing that our agency would <br /> be the lead agency for the soil and ground water investigation and cleanup at three <br /> sites in Tracy. A copy of that letter is enclosed. The Souza Property is not one of <br /> those sites listed. PHS/EHD has issued "no further action" letters to two of the sites <br /> listed in that letter after they complied with our sampling requirements and it was <br /> confirmed that further action was not necessary at that time. These sites have <br /> submitted soil management plans to PHS/EHD for disposition of contaminated soil, if <br /> it is encountered in the future. <br /> In a letter dated October 23, 1996, Wendy Cohen agreed that the Nicholaw Property <br /> would be included in the February 22, 1994 list of sites for which PHS/EHD would <br /> assume regulatory lead (copy enclosed). <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
