Port of Stockton <br />General Offices: P.O. Box 2089, Stockton, CA 95201-2089 <br />(209) 946-02461 FAX (209) 465-7244 or (209) 466-5986 <br />February 4, 1999 <br />Transmitted via Facsimile (209) 937-8893 & (209) 464-0138 <br />Mr. Jay Coffey, Plan Checker <br />City of Stockton Building Department <br />345 N. EI Dorado Street <br />Stockton, CA 95202 <br />RE: Underground Storage Tank Removal Compaction Requirements <br />Dear Mr. Coffey: <br />This is to confirm your telephone conversation of February 3, 1999, with <br />Mr. Barry Nicholson of my staff regarding compaction requirements for former <br />Underground Storage Tank (UST) sites located within the Port of Stockton <br />(Port). <br />On or about January 5, 1999, four (4) UST's were removed from the Port <br />at four separate sites. The holes for each of these tanks were backfilled with <br />clean sandy topsoil and allowed to undergo natural settling. <br />During the above -referenced telephone conversation, you confirmed that <br />as long as the Port is in full and total control of these four sites and none is <br />located in load-bearing and traffic zones, there will not be a need for <br />independent geotechnical evaluation for compaction of the soil at these sites. In <br />addition, we discussed that the Port does not currently anticipate any building <br />and/or weight-bearing activities on any of these sites. Moreover, the Port <br />mentioned to you that, as a special district / government instrumentality, the Port <br />does not anticipate selling any of these sites in the foreseeable future. In the <br />event the Port decides to develop any of the above four sites, the Port will follow <br />the requisite and industry standard geotechnical methods necessary for <br />evaluating compaction prior to construction activities. <br />GENERAL OFFICE: 2201 W.
