<br /> From: Edward W.Finucane, PE, QEP, CSP, CIH
<br /> Subject: Report#040701—L,concerning the measured levels of ambient air and surface contamina-
<br /> tion that remain in the 3 bedroom, 3 bath, single story home located at:
<br /> 10285 N. Hildreth Lane
<br /> Stockton, CA 95212
<br /> This on-site evaluation was completed at 10:45 AM, on Wednesday, 7 July 2004.
<br /> The abovee referenced home was raided by Narcotics Officers who had been advised at the time of their
<br /> action that this unit might have been functioning as a"Drug Lab,"most probably for the manufacture ;
<br /> of methamphetamines or"Crank." Because of the nature and the inherent dangers associated with
<br /> clandestine drug manufacturing, and because a number of toxic chemicals are routinely used during
<br /> these types of operations, concern remained about the possibility that hazardous and/or toxic residues
<br /> might still exist at this location. In completing my evaluation of this structure,however,I observed that
<br /> the San Joaquin Sheriff's documentation that had been left in this home indicated the presence of
<br /> marijuana ONLY, thus I am not certain why it was necessary for me to validate that this structure was
<br /> .clear of the toxic residues commonly associated with"Drug Labs."
<br /> In any case, on the morning of Wednesday,7 July 2004, I monitored the ambient air in every part of
<br /> this home. In completing this monitoring task,I used two analytical instruments that had been calibra-
<br /> tion checked on the afternoon of Tuesday, 6 July 2004. These two instruments are capable of detecting
<br /> and quantifying low concentration levels (0.01 —0.10 ppm) of all the volatile solvents commonly used
<br /> in the manufacture of illicit drugs. In order,I monitored for: (1) acetone, (2) dichloromethane, (3) iso-
<br /> propanol, (4)methanol, (5) toluene, (6)chloroform, and finally, (7) 1,1,1-trichloroethane. I was able to
<br /> determine that every area within this house was clear of hazardous or toxic levels of the vapors of each
<br /> of these seven chemicals.
<br /> In addition,I checked all of the most likely work surfaces and chemicals disposal locations in this
<br /> home. In completing these checks I looked for signs of acidic or alkaline residues. None of the areas I
<br /> checked showed any evidence of these types of residues, or of any other type of toxic contamination. It
<br /> is my judgment that none of the interior portions of this living unit pose any type of health hazard to
<br /> anyone who would be required to be in any part of it.
<br /> Should you have any questions on any of the conclusions of this report, please do not hesitate to con-
<br /> tact me. Thank you very much for permitting me to be of service to you in this matter.
<br /> Sincerely,
