Once samples are ga..thered from the additional borings and wells, <br />they will be analyzed to determine if any threat to public health <br />and the environment exists that should be addressed immediately. <br />To prevent contaminated soils remaining in the tank pit from <br />acting as a continued source of groundwater degradation, the tank <br />pit will be re-excavated. Excavated soils will be treated and/or <br />disposed of in a suitable manner under appropriate regulatory <br />guidance. <br />The groundwater monitoring wells have been placed on a quarterly <br />sampling schedule to continue to provide data on groundwater <br />conditions. Thornton Municipal well #2 will also be sampled and <br />analyzed each quarter. <br />As a precaution during drilling and/or sampling activities, <br />workers involved with the investigation may be wearing protective <br />equipment; however, no public health threat is anticipated. <br />Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the <br />SJCPHS representative named below, in the section headed "For <br />Further Information". <br />INFORMATION REPOSITORIES <br />To help provide the community with information regarding this <br />project, a draft copy of the soil excavation and monitoring well <br />installation workplan has been made available for review at the <br />Thornton Public Library, 2634 N.
