PHS/EHD has the following <br /> comments for your consideration. <br /> The work plan included information regarding the removal methodology for the two underground storage <br /> tanks formerly operated at this site. As PHS/EHD indicated in correspondence dated August 31, 1994, <br /> back permit fees will be assessed in addition to permit fees to remove the tanks. Preliminary information <br /> indicated tanks were properly abandoned. Closure inspections revealed that tank #1 had not been properly <br /> abandoned. This tank had a ruptured center seam. Tank #2 showed evidence that abandonment had <br /> been attempted, though improperly. Fortunately, backfees will only be assessed on tank #39-505260-01 <br /> because attempts had been made to abandon tank #39-505260-02. Please refer to the fee worksheet <br /> (enclosed) for an explanation of the backfees and penalties. <br /> The work plan also indicated that the excavation would be backfilled in accordance with owner's <br /> specifications. Despite the fact that the City of Stockton Building Department issued a General Building <br /> Permit 2L which allowed the excavation to be backfilled with pea gravel, PHS/EHD recommends that the <br /> excavation be backfilled with compactable soil. PHS/EHD recommends the use of compactable soil <br /> because this material is better able to retard the migration of percolating water applied either as rainfall or <br /> as irrigation. The migration of the residual soil contamination will be enhanced by the use of pea gravel <br /> as backfill. <br /> If you have any questions or comments, please contact Mary Meays at (209)468-0337. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> i <br /> Mary Meays, Senior REHS Diane M. inson, REHS <br /> Site Mitigation Unit Supervisor <br /> MM\401 SJ <br /> enclosure <br /> cc: Elizabeth Thayer, CVRWQC13 <br /> cc: UST file <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
