I'm ready to discuss! See below. <br />>>> Brett Stevens 06/10/03 03:36PM >>> <br />Wendy, <br />Metro Stevadore Corp's (MSC) Report of Waste Discharge for their <br />individual industrial storm water permit contains some studies conducted <br />in 1998 that include constituent-of-concern lists that go beyond what <br />the discharger is proposing. A petroleum coke pond analysis conducted <br />in April 1998 includes the full suite of 22 CCR 66261 metals, along with <br />many non-metal analyses and PAR analysis. The following constituents <br />had substantial detections: copper, nickel, sulfate, sulfur and <br />vanadium. <br />Additionally, an aquatic toxicity study (January/February 1998) for one <br />of MSC's storm water impoundments considered the following constituents: <br />cobalt, copper, nickel, sulfate, TDS, vanadium, pH and TOC. It appears <br />these constituents are either present in petroleum coke or bulk sulfur <br />in trace amounts, or are a product of physical or chemical interaction <br />between coke and water. <br />Given the precedent set by these studies, along with consideration of <br />the results, the Regional Board can justify the following as <br />constituents of concern for MSC's groundwater analysis: copper, nickel, <br />sulfate, sulfur, TDS, vanadium and TOC. <br />I hope this information is helpful. Please call me if you have <br />questions. <br />Brett <br />>>> Wendy Cohen 06/10/03 08:11AM >>> <br />Can either of you comment on Jay's email? My email to him is below, <br />stating that he should add nickel (based on Christine's voice mail) and <br />sulfur (based on an email from Mike Infurna of San Joaquin County). I <br />think they should sample for everything they did in 1991 when they <br />conducted baseline sampling before starting operations. Mike Infurna <br />will tell them that today, but I would appreciate your perspective. <br />Thank you. <br />>>> "Jay Jahangiri" <TRECONSULTING@attbi.com> 06/09/03 05:25PM >>> <br />Hi Wendy: <br />The 1991 report is appended (appendices A and B) to the monitoring <br />well <br />repair and condition report which was sent to your office in early <br />May, <br />2003. Please let me know if you can not find it and I will be happy to <br />send <br />you another set. <br />Relative to adding nickel and arsenic to the COC list, our concern <br />is <br />that to our knowledge, MSC has not engaged in any industrial activities <br />that
