We are <br /> monitoring the assessment and cleanup activities to see if the subsurface release was also contained at the release site <br /> or if it followed a subsurface preferential pathway, such as the pipeline trench. We are also determining the location of <br /> known nearby water wells,just in case. And, as you are probably aware, we are fielding media inquiries as they come in. <br /> EHD responded to a previous release from this pipeline in the same general location in May of 2015. Approximately 50 <br /> gallons of oil was released at that time, the result of a pump fire.The Regional Water Board staff oversaw the cleanup. <br /> Also, an FYI—the City of Tracy is planning a new subdivision, called Tracy Hills, in the hills about three miles south of this <br /> location, east and west of Interstate 580 and north of Corral Hollow Road.There are two petroleum pipelines, including <br /> this one, and one natural gas pipeline running through this proposed subdivision.They are planning on having <br /> residential lots 13 feet off the center line of this pipeline in that subdivision. I have expressed my concerns about the <br /> close proximity of residential uses to an active petroleum pipeline with known past releases to the City of Tracy planning <br /> and they have taken them into consideration, but I believe the development is moving forward as planned. <br /> I <br />
