Proposal for Conducting Additional Sampling and Testing of <br />Redwood Shores Lagoon Sediments <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Lee: <br /> <br />As you are aware, the Dredge Material Management Office (DMMO) responded to our April 28, 2009 request <br />for a Tier I exemption from further sampling and testing of the Redwood Shores Lagoon sediments and to our <br />request to place the Lagoon sediments at the Area H wetland restoration site. They granted this request for the <br />areas sampled and tested in 2006 with the exception of Area C (Zones 8, 9 and 9A) which contained elevated <br />levels of Poly aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). For Area C, the DMMO's initial response was to resample the <br />four original Area C sampling locations and test the sediments from each location for P AHs in order to confirm <br />the original results and to see if the contamination was isolated to a particular location. Because of project time <br />constraints, this sampling took place on June 8, 2009, shortly after the Regional Board's and DMMO's decision. <br />The results showed that three of the four locations tested had elevated levels of P AH contamination. Therefore, <br />the Regional Board and DMMO requested a more intensive sampling and testing effort to better delineate the <br />Area C PAH contamination. Tasks to be performed for this second effort were as follows: <br /> <br />· Mobilization to and from Redwood Shores Lagoon. <br />· Collect 15 cores, roughly two to four feet in length, distributed throughout Area C. <br />· Perform PAH testing on 16 samples using EPA method 8270. <br />· Perform quality assurance data validation of the laboratory data. <br />· Summarize the data and findings in a letter report. <br />· Attend any conference calls or meetings with the DMMO. <br /> <br />Estimated costs for performing this additional sampling and testing are $37,837. Breakdown of the costs are <br />attached for each of the two sampling efforts.
