PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br /> Karen Furst, M.D., M.P.H., Health Officer <br /> 304 East Weber Avenue, Third Floor • Stockton, CA 95202 <br /> 2091468-3420 <br /> PHILIP LEHRMAN QUL 1 2001 <br /> POBOX 32 <br /> ALAMO CA 94507 <br /> RE: 8750 S ELDORADO SITE CODE:1843 <br /> FRENCH CAMP CA <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (PHSIEHD) is the <br /> lead agency providing the oversight of the investigation and cleanup of releases from <br /> underground storage tanks (USTs)within San Joaquin County. PHSIEHD has a contract with the <br /> California State Water Resources Control Board to conduct an UST corrective action program. <br /> The above referenced site was placed in the PHSIEHD Local Oversight Program (LOP) in June <br /> 1996. <br /> On August 29, 1989, five USTs were removed from the site: one 10,000-gallon tank which stored <br /> diesel fuel, one 3000-gallon which stored gasoline, two 5000-gallon tanks which stored gasoline, <br /> and one 250- gallon tank used for waste oil. Soil samples were collected from beneath the USTs <br /> and the piping trenches, as required in the PHSIEHD closure permit. Soil samples collected from <br /> beneath the former USTs evidenced low concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel <br /> and motor oil, as well as toluene. However, none of the samples were analyzed for fuel <br /> oxygenates, specifically methyl tertiary-butyl ether(MTBE). <br /> The vertical and lateral extent of contamination must be defined in the areas of documented soil <br /> contamination. A preliminary site assessment must be completed. Please submit a work plan <br /> and a permit application to perform additional sampling by August 27, 2001. The sampling suite <br /> must include analysis for MTBE. <br /> The"Tri-Regional Board Staff Recommendations For Preliminary Evaluation and Investigation of <br /> Underground Tank Sites"along with its"Appendix A"and "Appendix B"should be used as <br /> guidance documents. All work and reports which require geological or engineering evaluation <br /> must be performed under the direction of an appropriate California registered or certified <br /> professional. <br /> If you have any further questions regarding this matter, contact Harlin Knoll at(209)468-3442. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> 0 <br /> Harlin Knoll, Senior REHS Dot Lofstrom, R.G. <br /> LOP/Site Mitigation Unit IV LOP/Site Mitigation Unit IV <br /> cc: Marty Hartzell, CVRQWCB <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Gare Services <br />
