| 8/9/2000 | Update or Other Action | Teleconference with Blair Loftis of PacifiCorp. Just about ready to give him approval for transporting approximately 800 cubic yards of DRO contaminated soil to USR. Potential problem with some of the soil contaminated with chromium. Blair is checking with the lab. Background samples may be needed. | Bill Janes |
| 8/25/2000 | Update or Other Action | Approval to transport letter drafted and sent to Frechione and Bainbridge for review. Chromium issue resolved with information provided by Blair Loftis.

| 8/29/2000 | Update or Other Action | Preliminary approval given to transport 1,000 cubic yards of soil for treatment at USR's Juneau facility. Letter in G\SPAR\Spar-Contaminated Sites\SITES\Lena Point Earth Station.Doc and in reading file this date. | Bill Janes |
| 11/7/2000 | Site Characterization Workplan Approved | Email approval sent to Tony Hiatt of PacifiCorp Environmental to install three GW monitoring wells at the source areas. October 17 request in hard file. | Bill Janes |
| 1/23/2001 | Update or Other Action | Installed and sampled the wells in November. Basically the results look good except for MW-3 which was slightly over the 1.5 mg/L limit for DRO. Applying to move the site to VCP and included the application as email attachment. Future plans are to survey the wells this month to determine groundwater flow direction and then install an upgradient and several downgradient wells this spring to make sure that we are detecting all groundwater contamination. The results of the groundwater sampling will determine next move. The stockpiled soil was also moved to USR in Juneau and they plan on treating the soil within a month or so. I'm quite confident they will treat it soon because we have only paid them 20% and are withholding the balance until the treatment is complete. | Bill Janes |
