I have to brief Contaminated Sites Management on this plan. Normally I would submit draft commentsto you and then brief them with the draft/final, but this one can go directly. John Halverson and I will both be out of theoffice next week, but I will set up a briefing for the following week. I think the main issue will be the approach onaddressing groundwater. I would like to try and keep it similar to what you have currently in the plan (not do a 350determination) and what we discussed in our comments for the feasibility study, but need to run it by John. Thanks,Jeff#1SectionPage 1, fIrstparagraphCommentA typo. There are 28 sites rather than 38.22,PagethirdparagraphPlease put a colon after Formerly Used Defense Sites.USACE ResponseThe 38 sites countseachsub-siteseparately (e.g. lA,IB, 4C, 8D, etc).Heading deleted.200-1fF10AK069603_08.12_0003 afile:/IH:\Working%20Files\PROJECTS\Gamble\Comments\Proposed%20Plans\Gambell%20proposed%... 09/27/2004~/Page 2 of313Page5,secondparagraphPlease change to, "The selected soil and groundwater cleanup levels are riskbased and designed to be protective of human health and the environment." Isuppose you could add this sentence to the end of the frrst paragraph. Pleasedelete the remainder of the paragraph. There hasn't been any contaminatesdetected in the drinking water aquifer, so it would be best to avoid discussingit.General SiteSummariesI was thinking that having some subject headers would break up eachdiscussion into more presentable pieces. "Site Description", "Cleanup Actionsto date", "Current Conditions" and "Cleanup Objectives" would help the readerunderstand each site. As all the sites aren't being cleaned to default Method 2,we should mention each sites specific cleanup objective.Please include a glossary of terms at the end of the document.
