Diablo Ave, Stockton, Ca U`Tc.f e_ki" K� CA'A' �9 4 141 n i Gil D. 11 fl Dear Governor: The purpose of this letter is to request a deadline for closure and the importance of immediate action. During the last eighteen (18) years as a UST Cleanup Fund Claimant, I have been working through the regulatory process to accomplish a clean site (Closure) at 1766 Mt. Diablo Stockton, Ca During this period I have been able to observe the workings of State Water Resources Control Board, UST Tank Fund, as well as the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. I believe it is unfortunate to have a group that does not place the best interests of our industry at its forefront. Nor support strategic and efficient use of the UST fund finances. I have many times reminded all stake holders that the financial responsibility for our UST fund is of great concern and ultimately paid by the tax payer After walking through this process for the many years I believe: the most pressing issues during this period as follows: I The management team of Environmental Health Dept. lacks both the capability administratively and technical skill for our best interests 2 The Environmental Health Dept. has not supported a strategic and efficient use for the finances of the UST funds. 3 That the Environmental Health Dept. is more suited to handle matters of food and health concerns rather than the huge task confronting the tank owners. 4 State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) goals and objectives not properly defined needed is a current review of Articles Of Intent & Purpose set out for UST Closure.
