Hold, P.G. <br /> California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region <br /> 11020 Sun Center Drive, Suite 200 <br /> Rancho Cordova, California 95670-6114 <br /> Subject: Review of Work Plan to Establish Background Soil Concentrations <br /> DePaoli Property, Holt, California <br /> Dear Mr. Hold: <br /> On behalf of the William DePaoli Family, Genesis Engineering and Redevelopment, Inc. <br /> ("GE&R")prepared this response to the RWQCB's December 29, 2011 letter regarding its <br /> review of GE&R's Work Plan to Establish Background Soil Concentrations for the DePaoli <br /> Property("Site") in Holt, California. The Site consists of the southern 3.5 acres of the former <br /> Arcady Disposal facility, a 7.5-acre parcel permitted as a disposal facility for drill mud from <br /> 1960 to 1984. <br /> On December 15, 2011, GE&R submitted a Work Plan to Establish Background Soil <br /> Concentrations for the DePaoli property to the California Regional Water Quality Control <br /> Board, Central Valley Region("RWQCB"). The data obtained from this Work Plan will be used <br /> to establish soil cleanup goals for closure of the Site. Enclosed is the Work Plan to Establish <br /> Background Soil Concentrations, and the following is a summary of GE&R's responses to the <br /> comments contained in the RWQCB's December 29, 2011 letter. We believe that the sampling <br /> strategy outlined below will provide undisturbed samples that,to the extent practical, are very <br /> similar to native soils beneath the Site, with respect to proximity and hydrogeological <br /> conditions/properties. <br /> RWQCB Comment: <br /> The location for the proposed samples has not been clearly identified... Furthermore,the <br /> discharger has selected only to sample the soil from directly east of the Site, out of a <br /> farmer's field. Figure A-1 shows one small field as the background sample area. The <br /> work plan submitted for agency review must include the location of each sample, as well <br /> as an explanation regarding the distribution of sample locations. <br /> Genesis Engineering & Redevelopment, Inc. <br /> 351 Ruess Road, Ripon, California 95366 <br /> Phone: 209.599.2004 o Fax 209.433.3990 <br />
