AGE and Mr_ Panetta were unable to locate any records on file with the City of Tracy Fire Department or- San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) regarding UST other than the one discovered and removed in 2003. • Attached is an appropriately labeled map with the location of the known UST and the assumed locations of other undocumented USTs. • Attached is documentation indicating that Mr. Panetta does not employ more than 500 full time employees. • Attached is a completed Certification of Financial Responsibility. • Attached is a copy of Mr. Panetta's purchase agreement from Harley -Murray Trust, the previous owner. • Since the claimant acquired the site as a vacant lot with no known USTs his compliance with Fund Regulations Section 2811 (a)(l)-(2) and Health and Safety Code, Section 25299.54, subdivision (h) is not applicable. • Since the claimant acquired the site as a vacant lot with no known USTs there is no permit to own or operate the UST from a local implementing agency.
