Bank of America November 21, 1997 Environmental Services 24122 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEII'T REQUESTED Mr. Steve Sasson Senior Registered Environmental Health Specialist San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division P.O. Box 388, Stockton, California 95201-0388 Re: Bank of America Ripon Branch 234 W. Main Street, Ripon, California Dear Mr. Sasson: Thank you for discussing with me by telephone the request made in a September 16, 1997 letter from this office that San Joaquin County Public Health Services ("SJCPHS") review information gathered as part of a proposed property transfer evaluation and issue a letter stating that no further action appears to be warranted on the property. That September 16th letter, enclosed in support of its request, a report on a Phase II subsurface investigation conducted during August 1997. The September 16th letter noted that the report enclosed mistakenly had been designated as "draft," even though it was intended to be the final report. As you correctly pointed out in our telephone conversation, that copy was unsigned. In our consultant's haste to provide us with copies of this report, the cover sheet and signature page from the draft inadvertently were included in what should have been the final version. I enclose for your records a corrected copy, with the appropriate cover sheet and signature page. In all other respects, however, the enclosed is the same as the copy sent to you with the September 16th letter. Please accept my apologies for this error. At the time Bank of America N.T. & S.A. (`BoW') sent you the September 16th request for a "no further action" letter, BofA recognized (as BofA stated in the request) that the SJCPHS does not normally issue such letters for real estate transactions in which no further assessment remediation work is required. Nevertheless, BofA asked that SJCPHS consider making an exception in this instance. In our telephone conversation, you and I again discussed the fact that the information that BofA had submitted to SJCPHS for review is environmental data collected for the sole purpose of a property transfer evaluation and that there is no system for SJCPHS to review proposals for such evaluations, or to review real estate transactions in which no further assessment or remediation work is required.
