Lincoln Center and Vicinity Water Supply Memo Page 2 June 17, 1996 Contacted Wendy Cohen at the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (916) 255- 3075 to provide an update, to inquiry about the fact sheet and to inform her that I would attend the public meeting on June 19, 1996 at 6:30 PM, but not the pre-public meeting scheduled on June 18, 1996. She stated that the fact sheet should have been included in the cover of the Draft Work Plan. Looking under the cover of the three volumes of the draft, I stated that I did not find it and she stated that she would fax a copy over. I informed her that a memo would be prepared summarizing my research and would be provided to her prior to the June 18, 1996 meeting. Contacted the San Joaquin County Municipal Utilities at (209) 468-0337, Shelly transferred me to Ron Rall. He stated that there are currently no wells operated by the Lincoln Village Maintenance District and that they are purchasing water from the City of Stockton and Stockton East Water (surface water). He indicated that there are three metered interconnects at Plymouth near I-5, on Pershing between Benjamin Holt and Swain Road, and on Greeley north of Lincoln Road in between Pershing and Pacific.. Contacted the City of Stockton Department of Municipal Utilities at (209) 937-8341 and Elena transferred me to the water field office which in turn transferred me to Raphael Rodriquez(209) 937-8750. Raphael Rodriquez stated that he was a temporary worker and that I should speak with Ron Miller. Ron Miller it turns out is in administration and finance. He in turn transferred me to Doug Jones at (209) 937-8766 who is in charge of water distribution and production. Doug indicated that while those wells closest to Jean Francis and Podesto's were sampled recently they have not been on line in a year. Doug stated that all the City of Stockton Wells are interconnected and use is dependent on the Stockton East supply and system pressure demands. The wells closest to the Center are all off line: #1 Parkwoods at Brentwood (pumps pulled on 6/14/96 for mechanical repair), #2 Swenson Park, #11 Inglewood, and #12 Leslie. Wells nearest to the site, that are currently being used, are located at #25 Swain Road near the UP rail road tracks, #26 Hammer Lane near Highway 99, and #27 Bianchi Road near the UP rail road tracks. Contacted Jean Francis and informed her about the City of Stockton water system used to supply her residence and the agreement with the City of Stockton and Stockton East to supply water that is used by Podesto's. She had questions regarding the suit if the wells were not contaminated. I explained that the property owner sued the dry cleaners because they had used the chemicals related to the contamination and that the wells that were contaminated were not used and were subsequently destroyed. She stated that she would inform her neighbors and the owner about the water situation. I encouraged either herself or one of her neighbors to attend the community meeting that is scheduled for June 19, 1996. Contacted Ron Rall at San Joaquin County Municipal District (209) 468-3090 to inquire when the Lincoln Village Maintenance District Wells were taken off line and when the City of Stockton interconnects were made. He called me back with the information that in 1984 when the contamination was detected that Lincoln Village Wells#1, #2, and#6 were taken off line and that in 1989 the District entered into agreement with the City of Stockton and Stockton East to supply water to the Lincoln Village area. The first interconnects were installed in 1990 and Lincoln Village Wells #3, #4, and #5 were placed on emergency standby. Ron further stated that all Lincoln Village wells were subsequently destroyed.
