George, after Bret's memo, go ahead and conduct the sampling. the soonest I
can discuss the issue with the OCD is in the middle of November. I have
reviewed the reports and results of the studies conducted by us and them and
the evidence weighs in our favor. At your leisure and prior to the November
OCD meeting, prepare a memo to file of the resaons and justification based
upon the report results and data why Eunice is not the bad guy in this and
why Texaco is. Gradients, plume elevations and characteristics of the
contaminants show that this is not our problem. Id like to have sufficient
evidence, both mine and yours, to force OCD to go afterTexaco and get us out
of this issue.

I think this would also help Bret's case for having Texaco (or whoever is
responsible) reimburse Northern for the costs we have incurred for what is
Texaco's problem.

Thanx

The last groundwater sampling event at the Eunice Station was completed in
August 1997. Subsequently, the OCD approved our revised sampling plan that
calls for biennial sampling. In light of this we were due to sample this past
August. I held off on sampling in hope that Texaco would soon assume this
responsibility, however, since it does not appear that this is going to occur
anytime soon enough I will schedule a sampling event within the next four
weeks. Since there are only six monitor wells to sample at this site,
sampling can be completed in one day by one person at a cost of about $2500
(including expenses and lab costs).
