Kamrath <br />Captain USN <br />Commanding Officer <br />Naval Communications Station, Stockton <br />Stockton, CA 95203-5000 <br />Dear Captain Kamrath: <br />SITE 5 WORKPLAN ADDENDUM AND FIELD INVESTIGATION COMMENTS, NAVAL <br />COMMUNICATIONS STATION, STOCKTON (NAVCOMM) <br />Enclosed please find the Department of Health Services (DHS) <br />comments regarding the subject activities for Site 5. DHS wishes <br />to commend the Navy for incorporating our concerns into the <br />workplan for Site 5. Furthermore, we would like to recognize the <br />cooperation of Ms. Rebecca O'dell, of your staff, and Ms. Jackie <br />Thomas, of the Western Division Naval Facilities Engineering <br />Command (WESDIV). Their efforts allowed DHS to properly <br />conduct our oversite responsibilities. <br />The Site 5 workplan addendum satisfactorily resolved DHS's <br />technical concerns. <br />Our primary remaining concern is a lack of coordination between <br />the Navy and DHS. This concern was manifested through two <br />occurrences: 1) DHS was not given sufficient time to review the <br />addendum prior to the start of work and 2) an observed lack of <br />adherence to procedures specified in the workplan. <br />DHS was requested to provide comments for the amended workplan by <br />3 February 1989. We were then informed that field work was <br />scheduled to start one to two weeks prior to that date. <br />Advancing the start work date did not allow DHS the opportunity <br />to provide additional written input to the addendum. Only the <br />cooperation between our staffs allowed DHS to give verbal <br />comments prior to the beginning of field work. <br />During a field inspection, DHS staff observed unapproved changes <br />to procedures that had been stipulated in the workplan. Ms. <br />Odell and Ms. Thomas were informed of these changes and <br />attempted to rectify them where possible. <br />
