CLEANUP AND ABATEMENT ORDER NO. 90-700 <br /> DIAMOND PROPERTIES, INC. <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> requested Diamond to submit a work plan for conducting an investigation <br /> to define the extent of soil and ground water contamination. Because <br /> much of the area of known contamination would be made inaccessible after <br /> the widening of the roadway, an accelerated investigation was <br /> recommended to acquire as much information as possible before <br /> construction began. <br /> 8. Investigation of this area is necessary to determine the extent of the <br /> existing contamination, and to prevent further migration of the <br /> contamination. <br /> 9. On 5 January 1990 Diamond submitted a work plan. The work plan was not <br /> acceptable because it did not adequately address the issues raised in <br /> staff's original 20 September 1989 request. The proposal included only <br /> one soil boring and no ground water monitoring wells in the area <br /> downgradient from the former tanks which will be made inaccessible after <br /> the roadway is widened. <br /> 10. The site is located in the western part of San Joaquin County and <br /> overlies the San Joaquin Valley Ground Water Basin, the beneficial uses <br /> of which include: <br /> a. Municipal and domestic supply, <br /> b. Agricultural supply, <br /> c. Industrial service supply, and. <br /> d. Industrial process supply. <br /> 11 . Diamond has caused or permitted wastes to be discharged into the waters <br /> of the state and is creating or is threatening to create a condition of <br /> nuisance or pollution. <br /> 12. In conducting an investigation of the quality of any waters of the state <br /> within its region, the Board may require that any person discharging or <br /> proposing to discharge waste within its region or any citizen or <br /> domiciliary, or political agency or entity of this state discharging or <br /> proposing to discharge waste outside its region that could affect the <br /> quality of the waters within its region shall furnish, under penalty of <br /> perjury, those technical or monitoring program reports as the Board may <br /> specify. The burden, including costs, of those reports shall bear a <br /> reasonable relationship to the need for the report and the benefits to <br /> be obtained from the reports. (California Water Code, Section 13267) <br /> 13. Any person who has discharged or discharges wastes into the waters of <br /> the state in violation of any waste discharge requirement or other order <br /> or prohibition issued by a regional board or the state board, or who has <br /> caused or permitted, causes or permits, or threatens to cause or permit <br /> any waste to be discharged or deposited where it is, or probably will <br /> be, discharged to the waters of the state and creates, or threatens to <br /> create a condition of pollution or nuisance, shall upon order of the <br />
