Stockton,California Phone# Phone'5501A, _ SAP Code 136141 Fax# 5 O Incident No. 98996181 _ Fax" SJCPHS Site 506171 Dear Mr. Infuma: I received your April 2,2001 letter regarding the submittal of Cambria Environmental Technology,Inc.'s (Cambria)March 23, 2001 Site Investigation Work Plan. Cambria issued this work plan to you on March 23, 2001 as requested in your February 9, 2001 letter. As a courtesy the work plan was faxed to your office on March 23, 2001 to allow you to review an advance copy. The work plan was mailed Priority Mail and should have been received in your office on Monday March 26,2001. You indicate in your letter, and in a voice mail message to Cambria, that you do not accept faxed work plans. This is something I did not know. And I find it somewhat curious that you do not accept faxed documents,but when you approve a work plan,the only notice we get from your office is a fax stating the work plan is approved. Not only is this fax not followed up by a mailed hard copy,but it only goes to my Consultant, not to me. Since San Joaquin County Public Health Services (SJCPHS) letters requesting work plans and investigations are mailed to me (Equiva Services LLC) it seems appropriate that additional correspondences should also be addressed to me. I now know that SJCPHS does not accept faxed copies of work plans and I will direct my Consultant not to submit faxed work plans to your office in the future. And while I would prefer that you direct all correspondence to my attention and copy my Consultant, I will accept any kind of transmission you offer, by whatever method, be it regular mail, fax,e-mail or phone call,to me or my Consultant. You indicated in your letter that we did not comply with your directive to submit a completed encroachment permit along with our work plan. I would first like to point out that pursuing an encroachment permit for an offsite drilling location proposed in a work plan that has not been reviewed by or approved of by your agency is premature. If after your review of the work plan you do not approve of the proposed drilling location and it needs to be moved, then my Consultant has wasted time and money pursuing and encroachment permit that may not be needed. Nevertheless, I instructed my P.O. Box 7869 Burbank, CA 91510-7869 Phone: 15591 645-9306 Fax: 15591 645-5643
