In this instance, the discharge was wastewater containing chlorine and <br /> an elevated pH. <br /> Upon verbal notification on August 4, 2000, you immediately commenced a cleanup <br /> effort that continued to August 5, 2000. Your testing on August 5, 2000 at the Stockton <br /> Airport Business Center Pump Station documented no chlorine and a pH of <br /> approximately 7.5. However, when the pump station was reactivated on August 9, 2000, <br /> a strong odor of chlorine was again detected and the pump station was immediately <br /> turned off. <br /> Therefore, your cleanup efforts have not been adequate. In order to insure that the <br /> cleanup effort is complete, you are directed to hire a qualified environmental cleanup <br /> firm to perform the cleanup operation. The cleanup efforts must extend from the point of <br /> discharge to the pump station. A list of acceptable firms is attached. In addition, you are <br /> directed to hire a qualified independent laboratory to verify the system is clean. <br /> www.stocktongov.com <br /> "STOCKTON...CALIFORNIA'S SUNRISE SEAPORT" <br />
