Thanx George for the update.
Norm would you mind visiting with Ms. Bernacik and explaining to her the difference between the excavation area where the underground tanks were removed and the landfarm area? If need be we can write her another letter requesting the closure and backfilling of the underground storage tanks. George Robinson 05/25/2000 04:12 PM To: Larry Campbell/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: Norm Gonzales/ET&S/Enron@Enron, Butch Russell/ET&S/Enron@ENRON Subject: TW Laguna Station Remediation I called Ms. Bernacik this afternoon regarding several issues. 1.) Ms. Bernacik indicated that the POEP has formed a Superfund division which is lead by a fellow named Mr. Rizvi. Mr. Rizvi had contacted Ms. Bernacik and requested the opportunity to be present at the site during the next semiannual sampling event. This event is tentatively scheduled for the week of June 19th. I am to notify Ms. Bernacik when we have set a firm date for sampling. 2.) Ms. Bernacik asked if we had received an extension to the off-site access permit from the Pueblo so that we could install the three additional wells. I indicated that I believe the extension was issued and Norm had picked it up but I wasn't certain. I followed-up with Norm and he has picked up the permit. Drilling activities are scheduled for the week of June 5th. 3.) I asked Ms. Bernacik about our request for no further action on the UST removal. Ms. Bernacik indicated that Norm Moreno at the POEP had responded to her with comments on the request and recommended against closing the issue. Ms. Bernacik said that she would send us a copy of Mr. Moreno's letter. At a minimum, the Pueblo will require continued monitoring. This does not change our monitoring plan since we had already proposed continued monitoring of the UST area wells as part of our facility wide groundwater monitoring program. However, Ms. Bernacik also indicated that the Pueblo may require one or two additional monitor wells in the former UST area. 4.) I asked Ms. Bernacik about backfilling the former UST excavation area. Ms. Bernacik indicated that her office had already issued an approval of TW's request to close the landfarm. I asked again about backfilling the excavation but was having difficulty communicating my interest was backfilling the excavation rather than closure of the landfarm. I reviewed the letter from Ms. Bernacik regarding closure of the landfarm and it does not specifically address backfilling the excavation. I believe that Ms. Bernacik is under the impression that her office has already approved backfilling the excavation, if we still want to get this in writing, it may be best for Norm to visit with Ms. Bernacik at her office in order to better explain what we need.
