Lloyd P. Gums 731 Birchwood Drive Lodi, CA 95240 JUL 1 2 1994 ENVIRONMENTAL HES LTH July 11 , 1994 PERMSan Joaquin County Public Health Services P. 0. Box 388 Stockton CA 95201-038P Attnt Margaret lagorio and Diane N. Hinson In your letter dated July 6, 1994, you state that it is unfortunate that I did Not comply with the approved work plan for the removal of the UST's. You stated that one condition was that the method 8020 would be used to analize the soil. 8020 Method means nothing to me. I hired a lab on the county's approved list to do the soil analysis. I assumed that since the county was observing and telling the lab people where and what to do, that the tests were done according to the original plan. If something was not done properly, I should have been told when the lab notified Mr. Knoll. This is the first time I have heard about any correspnftdance between the lab and Mr. Knoll. I was not notified. If I had known, I would have contacted the lab and made sure the tests were done properly. At the time the tanks were removed, we had to leave the excavation open. The soil was taken away to a vacant lot and covered. We were ordered to go down 1.0 ft, more and retest, which was done by the lab with the county again observing. Then later the county asked if we were ready to test the stored soil` and the lab came back and retested the soil, with the county observing, and later we were told we could spread the soil. In the meantime, we were told we had to bring in fresh soil to fill the excavation, which we did. The only way I would know that this was not being done to your specifications is if you had informed me. F.verytlting we did was done at the county's direction. I should have received a closure letter after the 2nd tests were done or else been informed that there was a problem then- not 6 years later. c7re-Gums ours, Ll
