The responsible parties are jointly responsible and what portion of financial <br /> responsible assigned to each responsible party is usually decided by parties involved, <br /> although prior to litigation arbitration is recommended. <br /> As I indieatl should Spanos jet Center wish to contest the identification as a responsible <br /> party, Dorothy Jones or Mike Harper of the State Nater Resources Control;Board should be <br /> contacted in writing. Prior to issuing directives, San Joaquin County Environmental Health <br /> under contract with the Mate Vater resources Control Board and utilizing language <br /> specified by the Stag Vater resources Control Board, provides notice toeach responsible <br /> party that remedial action is required. Your legal counsel, Mr. Barbour, has taken the <br /> position that notice provided is insufficient. <br /> Fnvir®omental Health strives to work cooperatively and to behave towards all persons with <br /> respect, courtesy and responsiveness I understand that there are considerable Cos <br /> associated with investigating and remediating contamination from underground storage <br /> tanks <br /> and that those not responsible would not choose to incur such costs. As;l indicated there <br /> are three definitions of responsible parties: tank owner, tank operator and property owner, <br /> A Division of San Joaquin county Health Care Services <br />
