Hwy 88 IN REPLY REFER TO SITE CODE: 1622 <br /> Lockeford, CA <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health <br /> Division (PHS/EHS) has not issued the above listed site a permit <br /> although the site has been in compliance with requirements to own <br /> or operate the tank(s) . <br /> Section 2712 (d) of the 1985 Underground Tank regulations <br /> (California Administrative Code, Title 23 , Chapter 3 , Subchapter <br /> 16) stated that "the local agency shall not issue a permit to <br /> operate an underground storage tank" until the local agency had <br /> inspected the facility and determined that the tank(s) complied <br /> with the regulations. Our interpretation of the statute implied <br /> that underground storage tank sites with documented soil an/or <br /> groundwater contamination could not be issued operating permits <br /> until investigation and clean-up of the contaminated site was <br /> complete. <br /> With the addition of Sections 2653 and 2654 to the 1991 <br /> Underground Storage Tank Regulations, PHS/EHD has the authority <br /> to require investigation and clean-up of contaminated sites, <br /> therefore, permits will no longer be withheld. <br /> If you have any questions please contact Harlin Knoll, REHS, of <br /> my staff at (209) 468-3442. <br /> Jogi Khanna M.D. , M.P.H. <br /> Health O ' er <br /> G <br /> Laurie A. aW4,Cotulla, REHS, Program Manager <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> LAC/HK: lb <br /> A Division of San Joaquin CAhunry Health Care Services <br />
