June 22, 1988 FERC Henry Hirata, Director Department of Public Works 1810 E. Hazelton Stockton, CA 95201 Subject: TERRA GENESIS, INC. SUBMITTAL OF COVER DETAILS FOR TREATMENT SLAB COVER DURING WINTER OPERATION (NOVEMBER 15th TO APRIL 1st). Greetings: During the past three months, Terra Genesis, Inc. staff and engineers have experienced on-going frustration in attempting to work with your staff. On March 10, 1988, Terra Genesis, Inc. received a conditional use permit to treat hydrocarbon petroleum-laden soil at a site in San Joaquin County. One of the conditions of the Use Permit required a drainage plan acceptable to the San Joaquin Public Works Department. After three and a half months, four formal meetings, numerous site designs and revisions and comments by your staff, I was informed that the San Joaquin Public Works Department cannot decide upon a recommendation. Furthermore, the Department is awaiting a decision from the San Joaquin Local Health District and will then most likely concur with that District' s decision. To my knowledge, the Health District retains no engineer capable of making an engineering design evaluation, which is why I suspect that the Public Works is being involved with this review. I went to San Joaquin Local Health District to determine the status of that agency' s review, and was told the following: 1. The Terra Genesis drainage plan had not been assigned to anyone as yet. 2. It was the Hazardous Waste Section' s position that it may not be assigned or considered by the Local Health District because the drainage issue was raised by Public Works and was thereby that agency' s responsibility. Terra Genesis, Inc. needs action on this problem as it is costing both our firm and the people of San Joaquin County large sums of money for each month this Use Permit is held in abeyance for no valid reason.
