SITE MITIGATION: <br /> 1. In the event contamination is observed, confirmed or suspected as a result of a leaking UST system it is the <br /> responsibility of the owner or operator to submit a work plan to PHS-EHD Site Mitigation Unit and have it <br /> approved prior to initiating any assessment or remediation activities. To minimize delays, the work plan may be <br /> submitted concurrent with tank closure or installation plans. Address one copy of the work plan to the Site <br /> Mitigation Unit for review. If the site is not currently in the Local Oversight Program, a billing form and a $234 <br /> minimum fee must be submitted with the work plan. For further assistance contact the Site Mitigation Unit at <br /> (209)468-3450. <br /> EH 23 046 (Revised 08/13/99) Page 2 <br />
