On June 16, 1986, when the 550 gallon USTs were removed, PHS/EHD <br /> staff noted odor and discoloration of the soil beneath the tanks. Further <br /> investigation of the extent of contamination from the former USTs must be <br /> conducted. <br /> PHS/EHD is providing you notification that an "Underground Storage Tank j <br /> Unauthorized Release (Leak)/Contaminated Site Report" has been filed pursuant <br /> to Section 25295 of the Health and Safety Code (HSC) . The appropriate <br /> disclosure of a hazardous waste discharge pursuant to Section 25180.7 of the <br /> Health and Safety Code has been made, and the site has been placed on the list <br /> of contaminated sites in San Joaquin County which.':is maintained by PHS/EHD. <br /> PHS/EHD has been designated by the State of California Water Resources Control j <br /> Board (SWRCB) as the local agency overseeing the investigation of leaking <br /> USTs. Pursuant to Section 25299.37 (ESC) , "dischargers" must take corrective <br /> action in response to the unauthorized release. I i <br /> I <br /> Please be advised that PHS/EHD will be utilizing the SWRCB "Prioritization <br /> System for Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites"; ranking list in order to <br /> prioritize all the contaminated sites. The "Prioritization System" has <br /> established criteria to distinguish between High Priority Sites, Moderate <br /> Priority Sites, and Low Priority Sites. Site specific conditions which <br /> influence the placement within the ranking system are, for example, depth to <br /> groundwater, proximity to a drinking water source '(municipal or domestic <br /> well) , the extent of soil contamination, and the site's clean up funding <br /> availability. <br /> I <br /> Based upon the priority ranking, you will be directed to begin the required <br /> investigation. However, given the conditions for the prioritization, wherever " <br /> possible PHS/EHD will work with you to coincide enforcement directives in <br /> conjunction with secured clean up funding. If you' have any questions, contact <br /> the PHS/EHD Site Mitigation Unit for further information at (209) 468-3450. <br /> If your tank removal was recent and you are not planning any remedial <br /> activities within 90 days, the tank excavation should be closed. It has been <br /> our experience that open tank excavations allow for rapid downward migration <br /> of contaminants. Contact the appropriate building department for specific <br /> requirements that may be necessary prior to filling with pea gravel and/or 'f <br /> compacting the tank excavation with clean fill soil. <br /> i II <br /> 'k <br /> i` <br /> i <br /> A Division o1'San Joaquin County Health Care Sery{r¢s <br /> 'I <br />
