If they were using ANYTHING back in the <br /> �. early 70 's DDT type compounds' would be in them, alnd they would still be <br /> there. <br /> If they're not there, you can go away with the warm fuzzy feeling that <br /> whatever they were using was more modern and probably will break down <br /> quick enough to not be found in another 20 years or so. <br /> If for some reason they need to look„at, groundwater, t.and if you only <br /> have one shot then go for the chlorinated herbicides 8051If you get <br /> two shots, throw in the triazine 'scan (619) . These two groups of <br /> compounds we sometimes find in groundwater and not in soil if the <br /> suspected discharge was historical. <br /> If you can't get your warm fuzzy by new years, maybe for easter! <br /> Amy <br /> >>> Mike Infurna <MInfurna@sjcehd.com> 12/31/02 09:11AM >>> <br /> hello Amy. . <br /> happy holidays to you and yours. . <br /> thanks for the quick response with Devra about my questions—and very <br /> thorough too. . <br /> can we look at this in a 'less-expensive' or ' limited' expenses <br /> point-of-view? <br /> Due to nature of the use of this septic system and clarifier, I 'm <br /> treating <br /> it like a 'waste-oil +' (WO) kinda thing. . .with the wash down of <br /> CALTRANS <br /> vehicles and equipment and GOD knows what else, I'm meeting with some <br /> resistance already on the required soil testing. . .now don't get me <br /> wrong, I <br /> can handle the whining and all, and I have full intentions of <br /> continuing to <br /> require the massive tests and the money thing is just a small nuisance <br /> now—but my confidence of whether or not pests/he bs were used is low. <br /> As the Devil 's advocate and to just glance at another point of view, <br /> let' s <br /> just assume one or two tests COULD 'scan' a soil sample and give me a <br /> warm-and-fuzzy feeling that NO nasty pests/herbicides are residing in <br /> the <br /> soils only 10-15 ' away from groundwater. . .what would these/this test <br /> be??? <br /> do you have any knowledge of what CALTRANS may have sprayed on gullies <br /> for <br /> weeds or critters? would an 8080 or 8081 give me a snapshot broad <br /> 1 <br />
