Box 388 • Stockton, CA 952 <br /> 209/468-3420 <br /> GEORGE LOCKWOOD <br /> STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD <br /> CLEANUP FUND PROGRAM MED OCT 1 11995 <br /> P O BOX 944212 <br /> SACRAMENTO CA 94244-2120 <br /> RE: EKHOLM PROPERTY <br /> 1702 JACKSON STREET <br /> ESCALON CA <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (PHSJEHD) has received, <br /> from SMITH Environmental, the information requested regarding the efficiency of the design of the <br /> remediation system operating at the site. <br /> The results of the calculations performed by the engineer at SMITH Environmental show that changes <br /> to the system configuration can reduce the friction loss by 15% to 37%. However, the greatest <br /> improvement would be seen in wells VW#1 and VW#3. These wells are currently not producing <br /> measurable hydrocarbon mass. The reconfiguration of the piping to these wells may result in only a <br /> relatively small increase in additional hydrocarbon mass removal, and therefore, a reconfiguration of <br /> the piping to these wells will not be made at this time. <br /> Because the information requested of the claimant was received by this office in a timely manner and <br /> the results of that information allowed for a resolution of the matter of the efficiency of the system at <br /> the site, PHS/EHD requests the release of the suspended payment to the claimant. <br /> For your information, the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office has determined that Clearwater <br /> Environmental, which has an injunction against them in Sonoma County, has no relationship or <br /> affiliation with Clearwater Group, Incorporated, <br /> If you need further information regarding this matter or wish to discuss this letter in more detail, please <br /> contact Linda Turkatte, Senior REHS, at (209) 468-3441. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> Linda A.
