�.. .� verify site ownership. The owners of 2523 E. Scotts Street in Stockton are Dennis and Sherry Romero. The site is located within the city limits. May 3, 1995 I received a phone call from a David Fisch asking if farm tanks could be removed without a permit. I told Mr. Fisch that farm tanks need a permit from the Fire Department before removal. Later the same day Captain Kuhlken, City of Stockton Fire Prevention (COS F.P. ) , called to tell me a Mr. Fisch had called him about farm tank fire permit. The UST to be removed was located on East Scotts Street in Stockton. I told Capt. Kuhlken the tank's status is in question and property owners need to provide proof that money was paid for agricultural crops or animals sold from this site. (CA Local Guidance (LG) letter - 13 4) Captain Kuhlken told me he would call Mr. Fisch and tell him to provide information to PHS-EHD on agriculture product produced on this site for determination of farm tank status. (LG - 109 5) I requested and received Mr. Fisch's phone # (209)467-6735 from Capt. Kuhlken. May 4, 1995 I received no phone call from Mr. Fisch or Captain Kuhlken so I phoned (209) 467-6735 and left a message for Mr. Fisch. Later, I received a phone call from #467-6735 stating this number was not for Mr. Fisch but for Diamond Walnut. I completed a Notice to Abate Immediately and submitted the Notice to Doug Wilson, Supervising RENS. May 5, 1995 I spoke to Doug Wilson about the action to take with this site. Doug Wilson told me a Notice to Abate immediately is not adequate. The site needs an Abatement Notice because it may be regulated. Also, an inspection of the tank is needed to verify the exact location of UST and type of UST. On my way to perform site UST complaint #CO003711 inspection at 2523 E. Scotts, I observed a blue pick up truck with a UST sitting in the back of it in front of the Scotts Street residence. The truck had Fisch Environmental Construction Services painted on the door. I spoke to the contractor, David Fisch, who was tightening the straps over the tank. David Fisch told me he had removed the tank at the request of the owner, Sherry Romero. I wrote the owner an Abatement Notice to register UST and obtain proper permits for tank closure. I knocked on the door; there was no answer. I placed the Abatement Notice on the door. (Owners Notice 2 B) May 5, 1995** I also wrote Abatement Notice to the contractor (Contractors' Notice 3 M) . He needs closure plan (approved) , fees, and contractors information on file. (Contractors' Information 3 0) Mr. Fisch took me onto the site. He had replaced the UST in its former location (east side of driveway) on top of back fill soils. The soils used for back fill were (a) from the site and (b) imported soil by contractor from an unknown source. My observations and experience told me this UST is not a farm tank because the land in this area has been residential for a long time. As per David Fisch, the UST is not a home heating fuel tank because there was no piping running to the house from tank. I saw the small the Bobcat used to remove the UST in the driveway. The tank had a window cut in one end and on the other end was spray painted #203H (Photos 1) . Mr. Fisch had placed the piping (approx 3-4 ft. ) on top of the UST. During my interview, David Fisch admitted he had not gotten the permit. 3
