V Barsoom Property- UIC-Septic page 2 14200 W. Bacon Island Rd, Stockton In a phone conversation with you on April 22, 2004, EHD staff, Michael Infurna, discussed some typical options utilized in investigating contaminated septic systems. One option was to remove the entire septic system under a permit issued by EHD. After the system is removed, the soil samples and any ground water encountered, could then be sampled as required. Another option included slant soil borings to collect soil samples under the septic tank and leach lines if they are not removed. At a minimum, the contents of the septic system should be pumped out immediately and containerized onsite. The tank should then be washed and rinsed multiple times and the rinseate should be added to the containerized wastes and characterized (sampled for disposal options). There is no facility that receives combined biological and chemical waste. Therefore, if the contents of the holding tank have volatile organic compounds (VOC) that require the waste to be disposed of at a 'chemical' treatment facility, chlorine to disinfect the biological waste should be added to the holding tank. If VOCs are present above allowable limits, the waste must be remain containerized on site and properly handled until a certified treatment facility has agreed to accept the waste. Only a licensed, certified Hazardous Waste contractor may transport this waste under a special manifest. If VOCs are not present at concentrations of concern, the biological waste should NOT be treated with chlorine. It must be transported to a facility rated to receive and treat biological waste. Enclosed is a Master File Record (MFR) form for you to complete, sign, and return to EHD with a check for$279. This submittal will enter you into the UIC program, generate a billing account, and credit you with three hours of oversight credit. EHD may then review work plans, conduct field inspections, and comment on reports of findings at the rate of$93 per hour. Charges over the initial payment will be billed to the party identified on the MFR on a monthly schedule. The work plan due now will be reviewed as soon as it and the MFR and fee are submitted. You will be notified in a comment letter if the work plan meets the requirements of the investigation. If you have any questions you may contact Michael Infurna at (209)468-3454.
