American Transit Mix Co., Inc. P.O. Box 5252 • Pleasanton, California 94566 • (415)463-1420 February 3 , 1989 Jaime Favila San Joaquin Health District Environmental Health Division P.O. Box 2009 Stockton, CA 95201 Re: 1 , 000 Gallon Diesel Tank - 561 S. MacArthur Blvd. , Tracy Dear Mr. Favila: As per our conversation I am sending you this letter as record of the event concerning the 1 , 000 gallon diesel tank at our Tracy Batch Plant which failed its precision tank test and the explanation as it was told to me by the tank testing company and our plant personnel. While I was reviewing our precision tank test results on January 31 , 1989 , I came across the results from our Tracy Batch Plant located at 561 S. MacArthur Blvd. , Tracy. The test results indicated that the 1 , 000 gallon diesel tank failed its precision test on December 16 , 1988 . This fact surprised me because our office had not been notified about the tank failure by the tank testing company. I immediately contacted the tank tester, Douglas Rust with Becker Industries , and questioned him about the test and whether or not anyone from our company had been notified of the failure. Doug was not certain as to when he notified anyone, but did recall that it was someone at the plant. I contacted Otis Brown, the batchman at the facility, and asked him if he had been told of the tank failure and why our department was not notified. Otis explained that the tank tester had pointed out a small leak in the tanks above ground air vent line which prevented the tank from testing tight. It was not made apparent to Otis by the tester that this problem was something which required attention and should be repaired and retested. Due to the fact that no product runs through this vent line and that this line will still function as a vent, he did not feel this was something which had to be reported.
