We also have no control of the sampling locations or <br /> sampling intervals these items are dictated by the consultant to us and not left up to <br /> our interpretation of the situation. So as I have explained, your statement written in <br /> your letter dated December 23, 1998 is incorrect,that we had no jurisdiction in such <br /> matters as depths or locations of said borings. My understanding is you left the site <br /> and with only a RECOMMENDATION to advance the borings to 30 feet with my <br /> driller standing in attendance and once left with the consultant alone could only go by <br /> his direction and can not be held responsible for there direction in this matter. <br /> Point number two,is the situation pertaining to the grouting of the two borings at the <br /> site location in question. The consultant WHF, INC. performed the grouting while <br /> the driller was deconing his equipment, unknown to the driller. Once the driller <br /> realized what had happen,that the holes were grouted and the cores placed back in <br /> their respective holes. The driller expressed concern over the situation and was told <br /> that WHF had done this before and would be all right. The driller then inquired if he <br /> should stay until regulator arrived, he was told that WHF had to sample the soil stock <br /> pile out back of the property and if he should arrive he would explain the situation <br /> and call if anything needed to be done different. Although it is the responsibility of <br /> the drilling contractor to insure that the grouting goes according to the County <br /> regulation, we sometimes can't account for an over zealous consultant trying to get <br /> done early. <br /> 1040 W.KETTLEMAN LANE • SUITE IB-156 9 LODI,CALIFORNIA 95240 • PHONE(209)367-4563 <br />
