October 12, 2001 0 0 c� Mr. Russell Chapin Chapin Bros., Inc. 1203 North Carlton Avenue Stockton, CA 95203 PRE-APPROVAL OF CORRECTIVE ACTION COSTS, CLAIM NO. 557, c� SITE ADDRESS: 1766 MONTE DIA13LO AVENUE, STOCKTON V I have reviewed your request, received on September 12, 2001, for pre-approval of corrective action costs. 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 June 28, 2001, Advanced GeoAnvironmental, Inc. (AEG) workplan approved by San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division (County) in their June 28, 2001 letter, is $116,645.00; 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 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 the corrective action tasks pre-approved in this letter, we ask that the attached 'Pre-Approval Specific Reimbursement Request Foi,n' be completed, updated and submitted with each reimbursement request. All relevant supporting documentation must also be included with each reimbursement request. In order for future costs for corrective action to be part of the expedited reimbursement process, they must be pre-approved in writing by Fund staff. All costs for corrective action must meet the requirements of Article 11, Chapter 16, Underground Storage Tank Regulations in order to be eligible for reimbursement.
