October 28, 2002 12:23 PM To: DodgeD@emh10.bliss.army.mil Subject: RACR for Rubble Dump Site David, I would like to approve the RACR for he Rubble Dump Site but it appears to be lacking one piece of info I would need to approve it. In section 3.5.2 verification Sample Result, page 3-5 it says that samples with highest concentrations of metals were further tested by the Precipitation Leaching Procedures with results below the PQL. I don't believe those results were included in the report. Since some of the totals for lead and cadmium exceeded the soil to gw PCL the SPLP results should have been included. Once I get that info I can send out my letter. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks, Allan - 31/0 I Signatur? Date - Name: Richard c.
