r - responsible for the failure or RFS and AGE to do what they promised to do, but to date have not performed. Fourth, we also requested RFS to fully investigate its site and to furnish us with evidence indicating the need to access Olympian property. As for the AGE report of November 8 1995, figure 3 indicates a down gradient path to the northwest. Why then would RFS consultant suggest borings in the vicinity of the aboveground storage tanks which are N.E. of RFS former underground tanks. Further, the boring maps provided by AGE are less than complete because there are no contamination contours shown on any map. Fifth, Olympian has also never received any definitive information on ground water flow and gradient which we requested from RFS and its consultant. In your letter of February 29, 1996 to Bruce McCandless of RFS, the last paragraph indicates your required additional information on these areas as well. In that letter you reference your letter of October 19, 1994 requesting a well survey be conducted and submitted within the next quarterly report. Obviously, this has not been done notwithstanding your request was made over 18 months ago. With this in mind, we question the whole process being carried out by AGE and whether they are looking for any reason to tie RFS contamination to Jimco or whether they are simply chasing RFS's plume. In summary, Olympian and Jimco never denied access to the Olympian site. Olympian simply asked for the following: that RFS take very step to identify its sources of contamination and what direction RFS's contamination migrated; and to provide us with well documented data and a workplan. AGE has provided less than complete reports and as of today we have never received the workplan associated with Olympians property. AGE has failed to do what was requested, not only by Olympian but also by the County. With regard to placing the Olympian site on the San Joaquin County contaminated site list, we request that you provide,u_s with documentation supporting.your conclusion that the.property.is a health risk. Olympian has assiduously complied and will continue to comply with all local, state or federal rules, regulations and laws. However, we strongly believe that absent any evidence of any release or any contamination incident on or from our property, there simply is no legal nor equitable reason.to place our property on your list of contaminated sites.
