This program with the EHD is only conducted IF the <br /> EHD has the time and manpower to oversee the project and requires the requestor to follow <br /> directions issued by the EHD. These sites are typically soil only sites and we work with the <br /> DTSC's PRGs to establish a 'clean up goal' for the site. Once reached, the EHD will issue a <br /> letter stating that the clean up goals have been reached. <br /> Site's not requesting a letter at the end but must have a boring permit, must enter our <br /> Environmental Assessment program (EA) and after fees and forms have been accepted, may <br /> conduct the investigation at their own direction. a report of findings is due at the EHD (as <br /> stipulated in the signature paragraph at the bottom of the Master File Record form required for <br /> EA's) and the end of the field work. <br /> click on this page and read the requirements to enter our EA program so you may obtain a <br /> boring permit. http://www.sjgov.org/ehd/docs/Requirements%20for%2OUnit%201V%20Well% <br /> 20Permit.pdf <br /> If you choose NOT to work with the EHD, but you still want a letter at the end, you must work <br /> with other regulatory agencies (CVRWQCB or the DTSC). If <br /> Either way, w/o EHD involvement up front, the only comment letter you would see is if the site <br /> is contaminated and we notify you it is being referred to another regulatory agency for <br /> oversight and cleanup. <br /> 9/7/2011 <br />
