Box 388 Stockton, CA 95201-0388 Ref : Valley Showcase, 913 W. Fremont Street, Stockton Dear Mr. Sasson; On June 15, 1995, we submitted a workplan to your office for additional soil & groundwater investigative work on the above site. We have just received your August 1, 1995 response, in which you state that the work must commence by August 15 in order to remain in compliance with Article 11 . We have been soliciting bid proposals for performing the task, and understand that our client has obtained the necessary permits from the City of Stockton. However, we have not submitted the required documents to the Cleanup Fund staff for pre-approval since one of the items needed is written approval of the workplan by the lead agency. We have not submitted the required drilling permit application pending approval of the Fund staff, since they may not allow all of the costs we anticipate the project will accrue. We will diligently proceed with obtaining Fund approval & securing the necessary permits . However, it is doubtful if the work can be commenced by the 15th. There are only two firms in the area that have the equipment to do the work, and the avail- ability of that equipment is beyond our control . We realize that the Site Mitigation Unit staff has a heavy workload, but so do we. We believe that requiring us to do the work in less than two weeks but taking six to respond to our workplan is unreasonable . We do not have control over the Fund staff or equipment availability, but will try to expedite the work as quickly as possible. SinV. unter Wm. & Associates CC : Lechich eGriffin
