RE: 
Proposed Site Activities Phase II Remedial Investigation Work Plan 
Island Chemical Site, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands 
Dear Mr. Schindler: 
As previously advised, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hereby approves the first 
recommendation as outlined in your letter dated April 12, 1996. Specifically, EPA agrees with your 
recommendation that continuous water level data be collected to document the prevailing direction 
of groundwater flow under static conditions. Installation of the two new recorders, in addition to 
the two recorders currently fianctioning , should provide continuous data across the majority of the 
site. Once the data from the recorder is collected and evaluated, EPA recommends that a meeting 
be held to discuss the results. 
Specific comments and/or approval will follow shortly on the 
remaining recommendations. 
If you have any questions, please contact me at (212) 637-4273. 
Your cooperation is appreciated. 
Sincerely yours, 
Sherrel D. Henry, Project maimger
