" 209/468-3420 , 7 RICK HENDERSON AMERICAN CONSTRUCTION & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES INC MAILED FEB 2 21996 567 EXCHANGE COURT LIVERMORE CA 94550 RE: TANK REMOVAL, ARCO 2168 441 W. CHARTER WAY STOCKTON, CA 95205 On February 7, 1996 four (4) underground tanks (UGT) were removed from the above mentioned site under a permit issued by San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (PHS-EHD). The appointment was made over the phone by Tern Stack of your office with Michael Infurna of PHS- EHD for 12:45 PM. Concurrently, across Lincoln Street to the west, a UGT was being removed under PHS-EHD permit at 8:45 AM. After the requirements of this tank pull were met, the PHS-EHD inspector returned to the office and notified me that the backhoe operator on the ARCO site was removing the piping from the ground and there was not a representative of PHS-EHD on site. When I arrived on site at 11 :30 AM to verify the site conditions I noticed that the ground in the island area was disturbed and leveled off. Pieces of fiberglass piping were stockpiled to the south of the site, away from the island area and some lengths of piping were lying on the surface of the disturbed soil. These lengths were not connected to other pieces of fiberglass piping and did not correspond to any recognizable piping trenches. When I questioned Lupe, the backhoe operator, he told me the piping was shallow and in the process of removing the islands he kept running over the piping repeatedly destroying it.
