The farms UGT&I that were located at this property are <br /> not included in the definition of a UGT contained i'n the California Health and Safety <br /> F Code or the California Code of Regulations. Therefore, PHS-EHD does not have <br /> • regulatory authority to direct investigation and cleanup of this property, but can serve <br /> as regulatory oversight for the preliminary site assessment under a voluntary <br /> understanding with the responsible party. Without voluntary compliance to <br /> recommendations made by PHS-EHD during the site assessment, PHS-EHS is <br /> required to notify the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) <br /> that the site is contaminated so they can provide regulatory oversight. <br /> Our local contaminated site database has been updated to indicate that this site has <br /> groundwater contamination. In the absence of a voluntary understanding between the <br /> site's responsible party and PHS-EHD during the site assessment, the-regulatory <br /> agency will be the CVRWQCB. <br /> i . <br /> Typical recommendations for site assessments will include the lateral and vertical <br /> delineation of the soil and groundwater plume. This investigation will require the <br /> collection of soil samples during the placement of monitoring wells in positions around <br /> the former UGT pit that will provide groundwater depth, flow rate, direction, and <br /> F <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
