6131 Pacific, Stockton Page 3 of 4 <br /> According to law, we only have jurisdiction over UST owners which is why we wrote the Notice to <br /> Abate to the owner. Our concern does apply to every UST within San Joaquin County and I can <br /> assure you this is not the first time we have required someone working over a UST system to obtain <br /> a permit from our department. <br /> Although,we may have a concern about working near a UST system, we would not ordinarily <br /> require a permit be obtained for that unless we have reason to believe a portion of the UST system <br /> was at risk. In this specific instance,work was being performed over part of the UST system (vent <br /> or vapor lines were exposed)and it is our belief those line could have been compromised. We are <br /> asking the UST owner to test the secondary containment over the section of lines that were <br /> exposed. <br /> In order for us to witness the testing and review the results we must charge a fee to cover our <br /> time and that is the reason a permit is required from our office. <br /> I have spoken with Margaret Lagorio, the Program Coordinator of the UST Cleanup Unit(known as <br /> Unit IV), who has agreed to add language to her Unit's approval conditions requiring a permit be <br /> obtained from our Unit(known as Unit III) if any part of the UST system is exposed, <br /> compromised, or concrete is broken over the system. <br /> I hope I was able to answer all of your questions. If you have any other concerns, please contact <br /> me. <br /> Thank you. <br /> ------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Kasey L.

My understanding that the <br /> premise for this is because we were saw cutting or trenching near the lines and/or <br /> USTs, and because this may potentially cause disturbance to the system, a UST <br /> pressure test would now be required for the owner? Please correct me if this is <br /> inaccurate or I am misunderstanding. <br /> 12/6/2006 <br />
