Here are the details of the BP/Arco clean-up in Seal Beach

This is a four page letter from the Orange County Health Care Agency to ARCO confirming OCHCA’s receipt, approval, conditions, and comments about the excavation workplan at the ARCO site that WUSB received from Jan Sledge, Executive Asst. to City Mgr Dave Carmany.

Its a lengthy document but we believed that those living in the area affected want to know all they can about what will affect the value of their homes as well as their health.

Excavation was proposed in the Revised Corrective Action Plan (CAP) dated July 19, 2010 that was approved by OCHCA on August 10, 2010. OCHCA is also requesting that ARCO prepare a workplan to conduct soil vapor sampling in the Bridgeport area before the dual phase extraction activities begin.  The sampling must include soil probe in the streets and alleyways and as many of the subslab probes as ARCO is able to gain access to.  The soil vapor sampling workplan must be submitted to OCHCA by December 15, 2010.
