Staff has the following comments. 1. The plan proposes to selectively remove waste that was discharged in Walker and French Camp Sloughs outside the footprint of French Camp Landfill. Only loose surface debris and partially buried debris that can easily be pulled out by hand will be removed in order that disturbance of wetlands will be minimal. With no substantial soil disturbance or vegetation clearing associated with waste removal the work should not require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the California Department of Fish and Game. Staff concurs with the basic waste removal plan. 2. The plan notes that artifacts too big to remove and anomalies such as containers, drums, barren areas, distressed vegetation stained or discolored soil are areas with unusual orders will be noted for possible follow up. Mapping the locations of large artifacts and anomalies whose removal would disturb the wetlands and trigger additional oversight from Army Corps or Fish and Game is adequate for the first pass of the cleanup. You should know that staff will insists any artifact or anomaly that may contain or indicate the presence soluble chemicals or other potential threats to water quality be removed on a follow-up basis. Every reasonable effort should be made to remove containers or drums on the first pass of the cleanup if that can be done without creating substantial soil disturbance or vegetation clearing. 3. Staff has not yet seen the results of follow-up sampling in the vicinity of waste investigation samples 3 and 9. Without those results we are uncertain if an additional level of investigation or waste removal is justified in those areas. As noted above, staff concurs with the basic plan with the understanding that follow-up investigation and waste removal may be necessary.
