Laboratory results received by this <br /> department on November 24, 1992 indicated the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in the UST <br /> excavation. In a PHS/EHD letter dated February 5, 1993, you were informed that closure cannot be <br /> given without further investigation. On August 17, 1994, a soil boring was drilled in the former UST <br /> excavation to determine the vertical extent of the contamination. Analytical results of samples from <br /> that boring confirmed the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil from a depth of 20 feet below <br /> ground surface (bgs) to 60 feet bgs. Benzene was detected in the'groundwater sample at a <br /> concentration of 38 parts per billion. <br /> There has been no subsurface investigation at this site since August 17, 1994. PHS/EHD has <br /> communicated with Mr. Caspe on several occasions by telephone of the need to continue the <br /> investigation. Mr. Caspe responded by:requesting additional time tb apply to the State Water <br /> Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for reimbursement from the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup <br /> Fund. <br /> Cleanup of contaminated UST sites is required under Title 23, Chapter 16, Article 11, of the California <br /> Code of Regulations (CCR Article 11), the Corrective Action Requirements. PHSIEHD and the SWRCB <br /> require that the investigation and cleanup of contaminated UST sites comply with CCRArticle 11. <br /> Failure to apply to the SWRCB for reimbursement from the UST Cleanup Fund does not preclude you <br /> from your obligation to comply with state law. <br /> To demonstrate compliance with CCR Article 11 and maintain your.eligibility status with the state <br /> reimbursement fund you must submit a workplan to PHS/EHD by:March 30, 1996. The workplan will <br /> be written in accordance with CCR Article 11 Section 2725(a) "The soil and water investigation phase <br /> includes collection and analysis of data necessary to assess the nature and vertical and'lateral extent <br /> of the release and to determine a cost-effective method of cleanup", and section 2722(d) "The <br /> workplan shall include the proposed actions and a proposed schedule for their completion. The <br /> responsible party shall modify the workplan, as necessary, at the direction of the regulatory agency". <br /> PHSIEHD is the regulatory agency for this site. i <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care:Services <br /> s .. <br />
