i • r `t 3 D Memorandum To: State Water Resources Control Board, Clean Up Fund CC: Annabel Mackey From: Michael Infurna, San Joaquin County PHS-EHD/LOP Date: March 2, 1998 Re: Ranch Market, 23569 S. Santa Fe Road, Riverbank Prior to 1991, underground tank sites that had certain operating or reporting deficiencies were not issued the "paper" permit but were allowed to operate while these areas of concerned were brought to acceptable levels. PHS- EHD considered sites that paid their fees in compliance and were allowed to operate. Back fees were owed from 1986 through 1989 and an office hearing was held on October 18, 1989. An agreement signed by Mr. Nagi S. Ali stated he would pay fees by December 18, 1989, have precision tests by November 18, 1989, tanks removed by January 18, 1990. Fees were not paid, precision tests not performed, and the tanks were not removed by the dates established. A DA case was recommended. When the precision tests submitted on January 22, 1990 indicated tanks #2 and #3 failed, Mr. Ali was notified by PHS-EHD that the product was to be removed form these tanks until the problem is corrected. A site inspection on June 25, 1990 verified that the tanks were empty and that they are not "illegally" abandoned and must be brought into compliance or removed under an approved PHS-EHD permit. On April 2, 1991 fees were paid and on April 9, 1991 a closure plan received. The tanks were removed on May 20, 1991. I hope this clears up any questions you have about "permits". 1
