Dolly Madison/Langendorf 2 _ 30 April 2009 1426 S. Lincoln St., Stocktc,,,,,r sampled during the first quarter of 2009. Although the 1 Q2009 report does not explain why the wells were inaccessible, Stratus responded to an 8 April 2009 staff email request for the status of the monitoring wells in question. The 9 April 2009 Stratus email response stated that the onsite wells that were reported (and observed by staff) covered by soil stockpiles during the Site Inspection (due to the construction of the Soil Vapor Extraction/Air Sparging Treatment System), could not be sampled before the end of the first quarter 2009 due to soil contamination discovered in the soil stockpiles that required special handling prior to removal to an approved landfill. Also, the offsite well (MW-15) could not be sampled due to a construction vehicle wheel parked on top of the well, which was not moved by the owner as requested on 20 March 2009. As of 1 May 2009, 59 days have passed since the established CAO report due dates for one complete report (4Q2009) and the due date for a second complete report is tomorrow (1 Q2009).
