N " ' !{ <br /> PERM i/L .__' <br /> December 5, 1989 <br /> Chuck Pomery <br /> Groveman and Young <br /> 3580 Wilshire Blvd. #1745 <br /> Los Angeles, CA 90010 <br /> Re : Major Stations, Inc ./American Savings <br /> 1235 East Alpine <br /> Stockton, CA <br /> Dear Mr . Pomery: <br /> I conveyed to the local Health Department your desire to have the <br /> state perform the clean up of the above referenced site and then <br /> lien the property or bill responsible parties . I was informed <br /> that no mechanisms exist for such action. The Regional Water <br /> Quality Control Board has delegated enforcement of underground <br /> tank program to the County and it is up to the County to gain <br /> compliance. <br /> The local Health Department also pointed out to me that site <br /> clean up is a separate issue from the most pressing problem which <br /> is proper or closure/abandoment of the tank . It would appear we <br /> have no alternative offer than filing a civil suit for civil <br /> penalties and injunction against your client, American Savings. <br /> I will delay filing until January 19, 1990, to give you time to <br /> submit a closure plan to the Health Department . After the closure <br /> plan is approved, closure must be completed within 90 days <br /> (removal and soil sample) . <br /> If you wish to discuss the technical aspects of the case or <br /> further discuss the regulatory program, please feel free to con- <br /> tact Lori Cotulla of the San Joaquin Department of Public Health <br /> Services directly, ( 209) 468-3423. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> OjIDA <br /> F E OFF H��CT ATTORNEY <br /> F.
