Look, Jr. Attorney at Law ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Casa Fuente Bldg. PER MIT/SERVICES 448 Pacific Street- Monterey, CA 93940 Dear Mr. Look: UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK (UST) LOCAL OVERSIGHT PROGRAM, PARMAR TEXACO, 521 NORTH CHEROKEE LANE, LODI, CA 95240, SITE NO. 1324, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY We have received your letter dated August 6, 1991 regarding the above site. We apologize for the delay in responding. Your letter stated that your clients, Carl and Muriel Yearing, received a second notice of our UST Cleanup Site invoice dated May 8, 1991 but did not receive the original invoice. We have reviewed our files and determined that San Joaquin County notified the Yearings by letter dated August 3, 1990 that they were being identified as responsible parties for this site. However, the information was not entered into our computer system at the State Water Resources Control Board until after the May 8, 1991 invoices were mailed. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and under separate cover we are sending the Yearings a copy of the original invoice. The Yearings may disregard the July 12, 1991 second notice as another second notice will be sent in 30 days, if the account is not paid. We have also enclosed a copy of the invoice for your information and hope that the following discussion will answer your concerns. We are sorry that your clients are in ill health, however we are required by law to send the invoices to all responsible parties named by San Joaquin County for this site. Your letter indicates that there is an agreement among the responsible parties as to who will be paying for the costs of cleanup. Any agreement among the various parties assigning responsibility for cleanup would be a civil matter separate from the identification of responsible parties under the Local Oversight Program. Under the Local Oversight Program, your clients, along with any other responsible parties, are jointly and severally liable for oversight costs. For your information, we have enclosed a list of responsible parties for this site. The following information is given to explain the costs in the invoice. The invoice contains several categories of costs. Site specific charges represent those charges for work done that is directly related to your client's site. Examples of such activities include: sampling for soil or groundwater contamination, conducting site inspections, reviewing reports and workplans, or preparing correspondence. Activities performed for your client's site are itemized on the bill . A description of activity codes is enclosed for your reference.
