Since that time, the EHD met with representatives of the City of Manteca, the developer (TY Lin International) and the environmental consultant (Geocon Consultants Inc.) to discuss problems caused by the withdrawal and possible solutions to enable the EHD to resume providing oversight. It was decided at the meeting that the EHD would resume oversight of the investigation and remediation of the former police firing range, but with the scope limited to the activities and goals as specified in a Remedial Action Agreement, as defined in California Health and Safety Code (CH&SC) Section 101480(c): Remedial action carried out under this section shall be carried out only pursuant to a remedial action agreement entered into by the local officer and the responsible party. The remedial action agreement shall specify the testing, monitoring, and analysis the responsible party will carry out to determine the type and extent of the contamination caused by the released waste that is the subject of the remedial action, the remedial actions that will be taken, and the cleanup goals that the local officer determines are necessary to protect human health or safety or the environment, and that, if met, constitute a permanent remedy to the release of the waste. This scope of service will keep the project within the EHD's authority and area of expertise, and will allow the resumption of local oversight. Upon successfully meeting the project cleanup goals the EHD will issue a letter that describes the release of waste that occurred and the remedial action taken, and will certify that the cleanup goals embodied in the remedial action agreement were accomplished consistent with CH&SC Section 101480(e). This letter is being sent as notification of resumption by the EHD of the Voluntary Remedial Action Agreement with the Responsible Party for the investigation and remediation of a released waste pursuant to the CH&SC, Sections 101480 and 101487.
