This contract includes a provision for technical support by the <br /> California Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB). <br /> PHSIEHD has recently received a letter from the CVRWQCB that providesuidance on how to <br /> g G <br /> analyze for,the oxygenated compounds in gasoline until a "definitive protocol" can be <br /> established. Based on this letter, PHSIEHD is directing you to analyze samples from all of <br /> your monitoring wells for Tertiary Butyl Alcohol (TBA), Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), Di- <br /> isopropyl ether (DIPE), Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE) and Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether <br /> (TAME) by'EPA method 8260. PHSIEHD will require analysis of samples for Methanol and. <br /> Ethanol where there is reason to believe that these compounds were stored in the underground <br /> tank(s). t <br /> PHSIEHD requires quarterly sampling of all wells where the presence of oxygenates is <br /> confirmed by EPA method 8260. Modification of this required sampling such as number of wells <br /> sampled, sampling frequency and method of analysis may be granted only,after initial sample l <br /> results are reviewed by PHSIEHD. Any modification of the required sampling must have <br /> PHSIEHD approval prior to implementation. <br /> For additional information please tail your LOP contact. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> Margaret Lagorio, REHS <br /> LOP Supervisor <br /> encl. <br /> r <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br /> . l <br />
