Box 388 • Stockton, CA 95201-0388 cJcoa 209/468-3420 HALIMA SALEH ALI NAGI NOV 2 7 IS516 DURHIM SALEH ALI 23569 S SANTA FE RD RIVERBANK CA 95367 RE: Ranch Market SITE CODE: 2412 23569 S. Santa Fe Rd. Riverbank, CA 95367 On March 7, 1994, San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (PHS- EHD) notified you in correspondence that soil analyses from the beneath the underground tanks (UGT) removed on May 20, 1991 indicated that petroleum constituents have been released to the environment and that further work is required by you in order to verify the extent of the unauthorized release. Recent site prioritization and closure of other sites by PHS-EHD have allowed this site to enter into an active site status. As an active site, you will now be required to take steps to secure an environmental consultant and prepare to collect soil and groundwater samples in order to verify the lateral extent of contamination under and around the former tank area. In order to evaluate this site for a possible"no further action" letter, this investigation is needed in order to verify whether or not the contamination noted during the tank removal is still present. You should consider contracting with a consultant that can also help you complete a State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Clean Up Fund application so you may obtain a letter of commitment for this required work. PHS-EHD will allow you time to obtain the required three bids so that you may submit a workplan for review. Once the workplan has been approved by PHS-EHD, you may apply for pre-approval by the SWRCB. After the approval process, you will need to apply fora boring permit from PHS-EHD so that your consultant can collect the soil and groundwater samples required in order to evaluate your site. I realize that this may sound overwhelming to you now, but reputable consultants are very aware of this process and there are published procedures for this investigation available to you. Please contact Michael Infuma, Senior REHS, at(209)468-3454 if you have any questions or wish to have copies of the guidelines mailed to you. Please have your workplan submitted to Mr. Infuma by March 28, 1997. Only responsible parties that are qualified and in compliance with PHS-EHD may become and remain eligible to receive reimbursement under the Clean Up Fund.
