Prior to issuing directives, San Joaquin bounty Environrr►l�ntal l�l�alth <br /> under contract w:th the 'State Water Resources Control Board and utiliin lay <br /> I <br /> specified by the Mate Water Resources Control Board, provides notice to each responsibt <br /> party that remedial action is required. Your legal counsel; Mr. Barbour, has tal� rt the <br /> position that notice:provided is insufficient: <br /> Environmental Health strives to work cooperatively and to behave towards all persons with <br /> respect, courtesy and responsiveness. I understand that there are considerable costs <br /> associated with investigating and remediating contamination from underground storage tanks <br /> and that.:those not responsible would not choose to incur such costs. As I indicated there <br /> are three'definitions of responsible parties: tank owner, tank operator and property owner. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County health Gare Serviets <br />
