J U L 18 2000 <br />Chevron U.S.A. Products Co. -2- <br />investigative workplan/Corrective Action Plan (CAP) before performing any work. This phasing process <br />and the workplan/CAP requirements were intended to: <br />help the responsible party undertake the necessary corrective action in a cost-effective, efficient and <br />timely manner; <br />2. enable the regulatory agency to review and approve the proposed cost-effective corrective action <br />alternative before any corrective action work was performed; and <br />3. ensure the Fund will only reimburse the most cost-effective corrective action alternative required by <br />the regulatory agency to achieve the minimum cleanup necessary to protect human health, safety and <br />the environment. <br />In some limited situations interim cleanup will be necessary to mitigate a demonstrated immediate <br />hazard to public health, or the environment. Program regulations allow the responsible party to undertake <br />interim remedial action after: (1) notifying the regulatory agency of the proposed action, and; (2) <br />complying with any requirements that the regulatory agency may set. Interim remedial action should only <br />be proposed when necessary to mitigate an immediate demonstrated hazard. Implementing interim <br />remedial action does not eliminate the requirement for a CAP and an evaluation of the most cost- <br />effective corrective action alternative. <br />Three bids and Cost Preapproval: Only corrective action costs required by the regulatory agency to <br />protect human health, safety and the environment can be claimed for reimbursement. You must comply <br />with all regulatory agency time schedules and requirements and you must obtain three bids for any <br />required corrective action. Unless waived in writing, you are required to obtain preapproval of costs for <br />all future corrective action work. If you do not obtain three bids and cost preapproval, reimbursement <br />is not assured and costs may be rejected as ineligible. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at (916) 227-4411. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sandy Gill <br />Claims Review Unit <br />Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund <br />cc: Mr. Gordon Boggs Ms. Margaret Lagorio <br />RWQCB, Reg. 5 - Sacramento San Joaquin County EHD <br />3443 Routier Road P.O.
