Kwon Best California Gas, Ltd. 13539 Foster Rd E Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 PRE-APPROVAL OF CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS, CLAIM NO. 013547, SITE ADDRESS: 7647 PACIFIC AVE, STOCKTON, CA 95200 1 have reviewed your request,received on July 21, 2000, for pre-approval of corrective action costs and the additional information received on August 25, 2000; I will place these documents in your file for future reference. I have included a copy of the "Cost Pre-Approval Request" form; please use this form in the future for requesting pre-approval of corrective action costs. With the following provisions, the total cost pre-approved as eligible for reimbursement for completing the September 18, 1998 CAP and the August 18, 1999 "Additional Site Assessment and Remedial System Design", approved by the San Joaquin County EHD (County) in their December 7, 1999 letter, is $124,293; see the table below for a breakdown of costs. Be aware that this pre-approval does not constitute a decision on reimbursement: necessary (as determined by the Fund) corrective action costs for corrective action work directed and approved by the County will be eligible for reimbursement at costs consistent with those pre-approved in this letter. However, depending on what happens in the field, some costs may not actually be necessary. If the Fund agrees that they were in fact necessary, the Fund will reimburse at reasonable rates (rates consistent with those pre-approved.) In an effort to expedite future reimbursement requests associated with the implementation of these pre- approved tasks, we request that the attached `Pre-Approval Specific Reimbursement Request Spreadsheet'be completed/updated and submitted with the relevant supporting documentation. In order for future costs for corrective action to be part of the expedited reimbursement processes they must be pre-approved in writing by Fund staff and must meet the requirements of Article 11, Chapter 16, Underground Storage Tank Regulations.
