Your letter requests that we accept the $3,597.65 as payment in full for the costs billed totalling $12,936.31. We are returning the checkas we are required by law to recover all costs incurred for the services performed through June 30, 1990. The City of Stockton will also be billed in the future for oversight services from July 1, 1990 through December 31, 1990. Assembly Bill (AB) 3560, which was recently enacted by the Legislature, states that the responsible party will be liable for not more than 150 percent of site specific costs actually incurred by the local agency. This method of allocating costs became effective for costs incurred on or after January 1, 1991. The costs in question were incurred prior to January 1, 1991 and therefore are not subject to the provision of AB 3560. The provisions of AB 3560 are not retroactive. The purpose of San Joaquin County sending you the new Notices of Reimbursement was to inform you of this change. We have enclosed copies of the original Notices of Reimbursement for the above sites which explain the authority for cost recovery of the $12,936.31 billed for San Joaquin County and Regional Water Quality Control Board services through June 30, 1990. On August 22, 1991 the City of Stockton was also invoiced for State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) Program Management costs totalling $816.45 for the above sites. We have enclosed copies of the August 22, 1991 invoices for your information. Each invoice includes a description of the State Board activities. Your letter requested more information on the type of costs contained in the invoices. As stated in our September 19, 1990 letter, the local agency invoices contain several categories of costs. Site specific charges represent those charges for work done that is directly related to your sites. Examples of such activities include: sampling for soil or groundwater contamination, conducting site inspections, reviewing reports and workplans, or preparing correspondence.
