We appreciate the Navy's efforts to coordinate on this transfer document. As indicated in the FOSET, additional environmental investigations and remedial activities will be necessary to address residual contamination that remains at levels that are not sufficiently defined or are above restricted use in a number of areas in the Phase III parcels proposed for transfer. The assessment of suitability for this early property transfer and the assurances and restrictions necessary to complete all response actions and to adequately protect human health and the environment are also based, in large part, on the Environmental Services Cooperative Agreement(ESCA)between the Navy and the transferee (The Port of Stockton) and the Consent Agreement between the State regulatory agencies and the Port of Stockton, currently under development. We consider the inclusion of these documents to be a critical part of completing the FOSET. We understand that the highlighted text referencing these documents will be appropriately changed and the final versions of these documents will be included in the final version of the FOSET, once the ESCA and the Consent Agreement have been finalized. As follow-up to our recent discussions with the Navy regarding the FOSET, we received a revised version of the Storage Tank and Oil Water Separator Inventory, Table 2 of the FOSET, which updates the closure status of each of the sites located on Phase III early transfer parcels. The Navy also provided us with additional information to further clarify the remedial status and location of all underground storage tank(LJST), above ground tank(AST), and oil/water separator (OWS) sites for the various parcels already transferred and for the proposed Phase III parcel transfer. Our specific comments on the FOSET, including the revised version of Table 2, are presented below.
