SITE HISTORY <br /> It is our understanding that based on a 1953 aerial photograph, <br /> the City of Tracy notified Beck Development of the possibility of <br /> a storage tank being buried on property owned by Beck Development <br /> southeast of Tracy, California. In response to this possibility <br /> and Beck's investigation, the following sequential information <br /> has been developed: <br /> 1 . The storage facility was built and used during <br /> WWII to store bunker fuel for the U.S. Navy. The <br /> facility was operated by Southern Pacific Pipeline <br /> Company . <br /> 2 . In 1946 the property was sold to a Mr. Hackman to <br /> be used for agricultural purposes . <br /> 3. The above mentioned aerial photograph was taken in <br /> 1953. <br /> 4. During the period of 1953-1954 (assumed to be <br /> after the 1953 photograph), there was an uncon- <br /> trolled fire that burned for two to three weeks <br /> before being extinguished. A person interviewed <br /> by Beck Development thought there was still <br /> approximately two to three feet of oil-water in <br /> the storage tank after the fire. <br /> 2 <br />
