Our problem of unauthorized access due to open fences is being handled with', the gates being closed immediately after trucks leave. No other major hazards found in the bluildings so far. ~ PIC has not had to come back in since Community Development (CDC) buildi~g went down. As we travel into the Senator, we expect to find asbestos. Kathleen will give u~date each week on environmental and demolition issues. Leonard and Dave would each like a s~hedule of scope of work that Staton is completing each week as well. Leonard voiced concerns about the site condition after Staton is finished with demolition. Will the foundation removal be Pence/Kelly's responsibility and will the sidev~alks be pulled out? Kathleen responded that the '~asement walls and floors from about 3 fee~ below ground- level will be left. Pence/Kelly will need to know what the starting point fori their work will entail and that they have everything covered in their schedule and budget. The ~ntention was to leave floors and basement walls in place to avoid the holes from filling w~th water. The basement walls will be supported with rubble. The sidewalks will be gone, but qurbs will be left in place to control run off. Staton will remove parking paved areas, flo~ring and some basement areas, the first week in August. When Staton is complete with their contracted work, what percentage of ~ite will still be covered with hard surface? Kathleen responded about 35%. It was stated tha~ there would be no impacts on Pence/Kelly if construction was delayed during the rainy season. We are working with a sandy, rocky gravel base rather than clay soils. ' ~ If we need Staton to take out the basements, can they be scheduled to come ~ack in? They are not scheduled to come back in once they are finished with their contracted vivork. They are also excavators and can bale and haul out contaminated soils. There can be sor~e overlap. We have two paths for the environmental work: do as overall site preparation and~'I overlap or deal with each part separately. We may have option of leaving some impacted soils i$~ place and cap. This will be a determining factor on whether we go Pl or P2 on the parking $tructure. Once uncovered it may be localized. '' This has been covered in discussions to mitigate problems with Statesman Journajl. We will slit- trench down to 20 feet, taking samples all the way down and then backfi~l. With the groundwater level at 16 feet, we will be able to take groundwater interface sar~ples too. We will be monitoring well #11. We have asked Chevron if we can sample their w~ll. Our interest is in coliform and if it is infiltrating from the sewer line. This is a better defer~sive posture for county in negotiations. We can check to see if we have migratory problems. It ~puts county in a better position to work with attorneys from Statesman Journal. DEQ has reyuested a testing done of one well adjacent to well on Statesman Journal parcel (well #11 on ~orth side of SJ parcel). Kathleen was asked if she could summarize what do we have to do env ronmentally for MMDC. ' Discussions were held about the impact value of starting excavation and ther~ having to stop because of environmental concerns. Would it add more cost to the project ~o mobilize and then have to stop? Bruce from DEQ has toured the site and will be present wh~n the slit-trench ~ phase will be completed. He has expressed his desire to provide whatever help~ he can to make sure the process is on-going. County has concerns about discovery after the exc~vation starts. Page 4 of 9
