SWRCB UST CLEANUP FUND PROGRAM CLAIMANT#:1917 <br /> 1149 W. Weber <br /> Stockton, CA it <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health;DivisioA <br /> n (PHS/EHD) has not issued <br /> the above listed site a permit although the site has been in compliance with requirements to own or <br /> operate the tank(s). <br /> Section 2712 (d) of the 1985 Underground Tank regulations (California 'Administrative Code, Title 23, <br /> Chapter 3, Subchapter 16) stated that "the local agency shall not " sue a i <br /> �s �Permit to operate an <br /> underground storage tank" until the local agency had inspected the facility and determined that the <br /> tank(s) complied with the regulations. Our interpretation of the statute'' plied that underground <br /> storage tank sites lacking a local agency site inspection or sites with soil for groundwater contamination <br /> could not be issued operating permits until the following was achieved: k1) a site inspection evaluation; <br /> 2) verification of appropriate monitoring method; 3) adequate and appropriate inventory reconciliation <br /> records; and/or 4) complete investigation and cleanup of the contaminated site. <br /> Due to this interpretation of the law, this site, as well as many others, was not issued a permit. <br /> ,1 11 <br /> However, it is our determination that this facility was operating in compliance with the regulations and <br /> should be considered for state funding. <br /> With the addition of Sections 2653 and 2654 to the 1991 Underground Storage Tank Regulations, <br /> PHS/EHD has the authority to require investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites, therefore, permits <br /> will no longer be withheld. <br /> If you have any questions please contact Mary Meays, RENS, at (209) 468-0337. <br /> Jogi Khanna, M.D., M.P.H. <br /> Health Officer <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Program Manager <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> DH/MM/lb <br /> ii <br /> ij I <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County HcnILh Care Set Aces <br />
