STOCKTON GALVANIZING WORKS Page No: 2 <br /> RI/FS INVESTIGATION <br /> Preliminary investigations have found higher than normal levels <br /> of the zinc and lead in the soil at the site. Acid contamination <br /> of soil has also been identified at the site. It was concluded <br /> in the preliminary studies that: 1 ) contamination is contained <br /> on the site and that it is doubtful that the contamination can <br /> migrate offsite, and 2 ) the contamination presents little or no <br /> direct threat to human health. <br /> DHS has ordered that a complete characterization of the site be <br /> performed. Acme Galvanizing, owner of the site, has retained <br /> Hydrotech Consultants , Inc. , a firm specializing in groundwater <br /> and hazardous waste investigations , to perform the required site <br /> characterization and remedial action . Within the next several <br /> months, Hydrotech will conduct a soil and groundwater investiga- <br /> tion under the direction of DHS. This investigation will ini- <br /> tially involve drilling soil boreholes and installation of <br /> groundwater monitoring wells onsite. <br /> The results of the investigation will be presented and discussed <br /> in a Remedial Investigation (RI ) Report. The purpose of an RI is <br /> to determine the nature and extent of contamination. The RI <br /> leads to a Feasibility Study (FS) that evaluates and selects the <br /> remedies necessary to elimate or mitigate any health or environ- <br /> mental threats from the contamination . Upon approval of the <br /> RI/FS , a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) describing the cleanup alter- <br /> natives considered and the recommended cleanup plan will be sub- <br /> mitted to DHS for approval. The RAP will be made available for <br /> public comment before a cleanup technique is selected. <br /> FOR MORE INFORMATION <br /> DHS encourages your interest and input and will continue to pro- <br /> vide you information regarding this investigation. The workplan <br /> and other documents for this project can be viewed at the infor- <br /> mation repository.
