The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division <br /> (County) requested you to submit a plan of work to investigate the extent of this contamination on <br /> 7 January 1999. The County has not received a plan of work to complete the requested <br /> investigation, and therefore, this site has been referred to the Regional Water Quality Control <br /> Board for regulatory oversight and enforcement. <br /> On 2 April 2001, Board staff completed a visit to the Buffalo Tank Corporation site and met with <br /> the caretaker. The caretaker stated that there is an existing water supply well on-site. We are <br /> concerned that contamination associated with the former USTs at the Buffalo Tank site may have <br /> impacted groundwater at your site, and we would like to sample your on-site well. Please call me <br /> at the phone number below to arrange a time for me to sample your water supply well. <br /> In addition, by 4 June 2001, submit a letter report to this office documenting the status of the <br /> subject site, including site background, current site use, and a summary of activities completed to <br /> date to investigate the extent of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination associated with the former <br /> USTs. <br /> The status report must also include a complete list of current owners for the property. Section <br /> 25299.37.2(a) of Chapter 6.75 of the California Health and Safety requires that all current owners <br /> listed on the title be notified of any corrective action or site closure proposals prior to the Regional <br /> Board considering the proposal. Furthermore, the responsible party(ies) must certify in writing to <br /> the county and the Regional Board that the notification requirement has been met and must submit <br /> a complete mailing list of all current owners of the property. <br /> California Environmental Protection A-ency <br /> QaRecycled Paper <br /> The energy challenge facing California is real.
