Assistant Regional Counsel Waste and Toxic Substances Branch Office of Regional Counsel U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 26 Federal Plaza - Room 400 New York, N.Y. 10278 Re: Tutu Wells Site Dear Ms. Chester: This letter is to formally request an extension, until January 14, 1991, of the deadline by which you expect to receive comments regarding the proposed Administrative Order on Consent recently submitted to Esso Standard Oil S.A. Ltd (Esso), Texaco Caribbean Inc. (Texaco) and L'Henri Inc. (0*henry) in the matter of reference. This extension is required in order for the above name parties to be able to prepare a joint response as well as a join draft work plan for submission to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that will streamline the negotiation process with the agency. The fact that these parties were subject to and are making arrangements to address a recent Unilateral Order from EPA with respect to the establishment of an alternate water supply for the Tillett property, as well as the proximity of the Christmas Holidays, prevent us from from coordinating among all respondents the preparation of joint comments regarding the proposed administrative order. In addition to the above, on behalf of Esso, Texaco and 0'Henry we hereby request an opportunity to confer with you in TUT OO7 1192 *64980* 64980 GOLDMAN AJSTTONETTI FERRAITJOLI AXTMAYER -— Scott McCay, Esq.
