Unfortunately the second alternative will be applied. <br /> In order to meet the due date of December 13, 2007 setup by the SJCEHD for tank removal, I propose the <br /> following schedule: <br /> 1 - Review and approval by the SJCEHD of the "Work Plan for Well Abandonment, Replacement Well <br /> Installation, Reconfiguration of Conveyance Piping and Interim Remedial Action by Over Excavation in <br /> Conjunction with the UST System Removal" prepared by our consultant GeoHydrologic (GHC) and submitted <br /> to the SJCEHD on 08/02/07. ASAP, thank you. <br /> 2 -Apply and obtain well abandonment permit for 3 monitoring wells (2 of them are nested)currently located <br /> within the UST pit. This task will be handled by GHC and it is estimated to take 1 —2 weeks after the work plan <br /> is approved. <br /> 3 - Uncover, disconnect and remove the underground conveyance piping related to the wells to be abandoned. <br /> This task will be performed by GHC and Tafoya and Associates and is estimated to take 1 —2 days. <br /> 4 - Schedule the driller, notify the SJCEHD and abandon the wells by over drilling. This task will be performed <br /> by GHC and the driller (expected West Hazmat Drilling), and will be performed within 7 days after the permits <br /> are obtained. <br /> 5 - UST, piping, dispensers' removal, including: mobilization, notification, inspection, excavation, removal, <br /> disposal, backfilling. The task will be performed by Tafoya and the samples will be collected by GHC. Estimated <br /> time: 15—20 days. Due date: before December 13, 2007. <br /> 6 - Installation of the proposed /approved replacement wells, restoration of the conveyance piping network and <br /> restarting the remediation system. This task will be performed by GHC /Tafoya, and it is estimated to be <br /> completed within approximately 30 days after the completion of task 5. <br /> 7 - Preparation and submittal of the UST Removal Report to the SJCEHD by GHC and Tafoya within 45 days <br /> after the completion of task 5. <br /> 8— Preparation and submittal of a Well Abandonment, Well Installation, SVE system Restoration, Interim <br /> Remedial Action by Over Excavation Report, by GHC, within 45 days after the completion of task 6. <br /> Please let me know if you concur with and approve the above schedule or your comments. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Chris <br /> Cluis Panaitescu <br /> Thrifts•Oil Co./Best California Gas,Ltd. <br /> 13116 Imperial flwl•. <br /> Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 <br /> ph:(562)921-3581 x 390 <br /> fax:(562)921-7510 <br /> email: Paitaitescurii'TltriftyOil.coni <br /> 11/2/2007 <br />
