Chapin Sr. ENWRpNi�l <br /> PER^�1UVTHE4LrH <br /> 120)North Carlton Avenue T'SERV CES <br /> t <br /> Stockton, CA 95203 <br /> Dear Mr. Chapin: <br /> SITE CLOSURE REQUEST, 1766 MONTE DIABLO AVENUE, STOCKTON <br /> Thank you for your letter dated December 26, 2003, to Governor Schwarzenegger regarding closure of <br /> your site at the above address. State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) staff have been asked to <br /> respond to your concerns. <br /> The UST Cleanup Fund provides reimbursement for eligible costs expended for site investigation and <br /> cleanup activities. The great majority of funds continue to be paid to individuals and smaller firms <br /> (Priority Classes A, B &C). Over$1.2 billion has been paid out to these claimants over the life of the <br /> program, while$362 million has gone to D claims which includes public agencies. In addition, over <br /> 4,400 D claims are on the priority list, still waiting to be funded as we continue to receive new A, B &C <br /> claims. Last year, we received 145 new A, B &C claims and only 50 new D claims. We feel we are <br /> continuing to be of assistance to smaller business entities. <br /> In your letter, you indicated that corrective action has been implemented appropriately but you have been <br /> unable to achieve cleanup goals or water quality objectives (WQOs). Sites may be closed with <br /> concentrations of contaminants greater than WQOs if they will be met in a reasonable time(i.e. before the <br /> water will be used). A UST site qualifies to receive a "No Further Action" (closure)letter once the owner <br /> or operator meets all appropriate corrective action requirements. The closure letter from the local <br /> regulatory agency or regional board informs the responsible party in writing that no further work is <br /> required. <br /> In a phone conversation with staff on February 10,2004, you indicated that you intend to submit a closure <br /> request to the San Joaquin County Public Health Services Department, the lead regulatory agency. If <br /> your closure request is denied, you may petition the SWRCB for review of your case at that time. <br /> Enclosed with this letter is a Site Closure Petition Process Fact Sheet that describes the closure appeal <br /> process. <br /> Thank you again for writing. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact <br /> Kevin Graves at(916) 341-5782. <br /> Sincerely, 1 <br /> Stan Martinson, Chief <br /> Division of Water Quality <br /> Enclosure <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> C5 Recycled Paper <br />
