El Dorado Street <br /> Stockton, CA 95206 <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (RHS/EHD) has not issued <br /> the above listed site permits although the site was in compliance with requirements to own or operate <br /> the tank(s). <br /> on 2 12 d of the 1985 Underground Tank regulations (California Administrative Code, Title 23, <br /> Section 7 { ) 8r � � <br /> Chapter 3, Subchapter 16) stated that "the local agency shall not issue a permit to operate an <br /> underground storage tank" until the local agency had inspected the facility and determined that the <br /> tank(s) complied with the regulations. Our interpretation of the statute implied that underground <br /> storage tank sites lacking a local agency site inspection or sites with soil or groundwater contamination <br /> could not be issued operating permits until the following was achieved: 1) a site inspection evaluation; <br /> 2) verification of appropriate monitoring method; 3) adequate and appropriate inventory reconciliation <br /> records; and/or 4) complete investigation and cleanup of the contaminated site. <br /> Due to this interpretation of the law; this site, as well as many others, were not issued permits. <br /> However, it is our determination that this facility was operating in compliance with the regulations and <br /> should be considered for state funding: <br /> With the addition of Sections 2653 and 2654:to the 1991 Underground Storage Tank Regulations, <br /> PHS/EHD has the authority to require investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites,,therefore, permits <br /> will no longer be withheld. , <br /> If you have any questions please contact Margaret Lagorio of my staff at (249) 468-3449. <br /> Ernest M.
