Main Street v Stockton, CA The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has received your August 9, 2007, letter and provides the following response. An underground storage tank (UST) was found on the above referenced property and was removed on July 2, 2004, under permit and inspection of the EHD. The analytical results of the soil samples collected beneath the UST showed high levels of diesel in the soil, indicating that an unauthorized release from the UST had occurred. On July 9, 2004, the EHD sent you, as the contact for the Main Street Investors PTP, a letter and a "Notice of Responsibility" (NOR) as notification that the site had been assigned to the EHD's Local Oversight Program for oversight of investigation/corrective action required for UST leakage sites. The letter and NOR were sent certified mail and Linda Kitadani signed for the delivery of them (copy enclosed). On April 27, 2007, the EHD staff had a telephone conversation with you about submitting a work plan for further investigation of the UST release, since no investigation of the UST release contamination had been proposed. You were advised to obtain the services of an environmental consultant and that a letter would be sent to you requiring the submittal of a work plan for further investigation by July 31, 2007. That letter, dated May 1, 2007 (copy enclosed) was sent regular mail. A work plan was not submitted to the EHD by July 31, 2007, so the EHD followed 4 ` up with the letter dated August 6, 2007, to which you responded in your August 9, 2007 letter. In order to investigate the lateral and vertical extent of contamination from the UST release, you must hire an individual or company, with an appropriately California registered or certified professional to submit a work plan to the EHD for investigation of the extent of the contamination at the site. A list of consultants (not an endorsement)working in this area is enclosed for your reference/use.
