The eligibility of other future costs will be determined P <br /> as the case proceeds. The rationale for my decision follows. <br /> l Background <br /> Your claim was originally admitted into the Fund in 1993;based on a statement in your <br /> application that all USTs at the site contained Stoddard solvent. Stoddard solvent is an eligible <br /> petroleum product, and costs associated with corrective action to investigate and clean up <br /> Stoddard solvent contamination are eligible for reimbursement from the Fund. In a letter dated <br /> December 6, 1996,the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) <br /> directed you to begin analyzing the environmental samples collected at your site for chlorinated <br /> solvents,because of consistent interference in the laboratory methods used to analyze for <br /> Stoddard solvent and the historic use of other dry cleaner solvents at your site. Significant <br /> concentrations of chlorinated solvents were subsequently identified in the groundwater. <br /> Prior to the denial of the cost in question, the Cleanup Fund has paid 100 percent of all <br /> reasonable and necessary corrective action costs submitted for the above claim. <br /> Cs/ifornia Environmental Protection Affency <br /> A <br /> Q,�t Recycled Paper . .. <br />
