Dear Mr. Stevens:
On August 20, 2009, a compliance meetingwas held in accordance with Corm. Oen. Stat.
§ 4-182(@ Present at the compliance meeting were you, Russell Slayback, LEP, a member of
the State Board of Examiners of Environmental Professionals ("LEP Board") who has been
delegated to investigate Complaint No. 08-103, Assistant Attorney General Jack Looney and the
undersigned. As a result of the compliance meeting, it has been determined that:
1. Based upon the additional information provided relating to your knowledge of the
area surrounding 363 Whalley Avenue, New Haven, Connecticut ("the Site"); your familiarity
with the public water supply in the vicinity of the Site gained through your previous erfiployment
with the New Haven Water Company (now the South Central Connecticut Regional Wate#
Authority), including the fact that the Site and properties in the surrounding area were connected
to the public water supply for more than a century, you have shown that you were compliant with
ROSA § 22a-133 w6(d)(1) when you, in providing professional services, concluded that a
sensitive receptor survey was not necessary.
it is also noted that you did perform a sensitive receptor survey after rendering your
verification and following the Audit Repo~,"which supported your earlier conclusion, based on
your personal knowledge of the Site, that no occupied properties in the vicinity of the Site use
groundwater for drit~king.
Yon, however, did not show compliance with ROSA § 22a-133v-6(d)(t) concerning yotn’
failure to perform a three-dimensional characterization of groundwater coutamination despite the
presence of POE ia every overburden monitoring well.
2. . You did not show compliance with ROSA § 22a-133v-6(d)(2)(A) concerning
exercise of professional judgment when rendering your verification that the Site had been fully
investigated and remediated. Specifically, you failed to exercise professional judgment by not

investigating all areas of concern at the Site, and you failed to investigate, identify or confirm the
source of the PCE plume, despite available evidence of a likely PCE source. You did not
investigate groundwater directly downgradient of the likely source and did not collect sufficient
information to understand the hydrology or dimensions of the plnme.
3. You failed to show compliance with Conn. Oen. Star. § 22a-134a in that you
failed to characterize the Site in accordance with prevailing standards and guidelines and failed
to have an appropriate quantity or quality of data to demonstrate compliance with the applicable
criteria of the Remediatlon Standard Regulations in violation ofRCSA § 22a- 133v-6(d)(2)(B).
4. You failed to show compliance with RCSA § 22a-133w6(d)(2)(C). In rendering
professional services, you failed to make good faith and reasonable efforts to identify and obtain
relevant data and other information to diseharge your obligations under C.G.S. § 22a7t 34a,in
violation of RCSA § 22a- 133v-6(d)(2) (C). You did not conduct any investigation of AOCs
located in the basement of the dry cleaning facility based on the rationale that any Mease from
AOCs in the basement would migrate over the surface of the floor and into the floor drain.
However, PCE was detected in every shallow monitoring well on site, and the sougces were not
r~asonably identified, and the discharge of the floor drain to the public sewer was based on the
o,ainer’s representations and not confirmed.
The above listed items for which noncompliance with applicable law and regulations was
found will be referred to the LEP Board for further action. Should you or your attorney wish to
discuss this matter further, it is requested that you contact Assistant Attorney General Jack
Looney at (860) 808-5250.
