Ruvalcaba, Cesar <br /> From: Ruvalcaba,Cesar <br /> Sent: Monday,April 29, 2019 2:49 PM <br /> To: Escalon Consolidated FPD <br /> Cc: Backus,Garrett; Christine Lawrence <br /> Subject: San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department Possible UST as AST <br /> Attachments: CSFM IB 14-005.pdf, CSFM IB 14-005 Addendum.pdf, DSCF1438.JPG; DSCF1440.JPG <br /> Chief Mello, <br /> While performing routine inspections at a farm facility located at 24532 Clough Road in Escalon,two Aboveground <br /> Storage Tanks(AST)were observed that may be of concern.The two tanks seem to have a storage capacity of 10,000 <br /> gallons.The two aboveground storage tanks don't appear to meet the venting or emergency venting requirements <br /> required by fire code. Based upon different encounters with these types of tanks,this may be an indication that the <br /> tanks were at one point Underground Storage Tanks(UST). <br /> In doing some research,California State Fire Marshal Information Bulletin 14-005 was found,which prohibits USTs being <br /> used as ASTs. The bulletin references Section 5704.2.7,of the California Fire Code.The bulletin and its addendum are <br /> attached along with pictures of the tanks. We would like to make you aware of these potential fire code violations since <br /> our department does not have the authority to enforce these regulations. <br /> The tanks are owned by Bavaro Farming Company,Inc. <br /> The contact for the facility is Joe Bavaro <br /> Phone: (209)595-1426 <br /> Email: BavaroFarminglNC@sbcblobal.net <br /> If there are any questions or concerns,feel free to contact me at(209)953-6213 or cruvalcaba@siaov.ora <br /> We appreciate your assistance in this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Cesar Ruvalcaba <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> Environmental Health Specialist <br /> 1868 East Hazelton Ave <br /> Stockton,CA 95205 <br /> $ (209)953-62131 A (209)464-0138 ® cruvalcabaCnlsiaov.ora <br /> SANJOAQUIN <br /> —C:OONTY— <br /> "�• Gremn<n q+ows hero <br /> 1 <br />
