ENVIRONMEN`T'AL HEALTH Woodbridge, CA 95258 �R1�e'I� �dTQ � Dear Mr. Newfield: UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK CLEANUP FUND PROGRAM FINAL DIVISION DECISION (INTENT TO REMOVE FROM PRIORITY LIST) CLAIM NO. 3154 (Joseph Newfield) Pursuant to your request, I have reviewed the staff decision to remove your claim from the Priority List. In your letter dated October 8, 1992 requesting that I reconsider removing you from the Priority List you state that you have done everything within your_ power to comply with directives issued by San Joaquin Public Health Services (county) . You removed five tanks from 107 N. School Street, Lodi on September 27, 1987 and there was noticeable odor observed. Soil contamination was confirmed October 8, 1987 by lab results. On October 20, 1987 you were directed by the county to submit soil samples and a proposal for a groundwater investigation. Since that time, county records indicate that you have failed to meet deadlines or cooperate with the local regulatory agency in the investigation and remediation of the site. This resulted in your case being referred to the Regional Board for enforcement action. The Regional Board by letter of September 30, 1991 directed you to submit a Preliminary Investigation and Evaluation Report by October 30, 1991. The records indicate that you have ignored both local and regional board directives and have been consistently uncooperative in providing the required contamination reports. Section 25299. 54 (a) of the California Health and- Safety Code (H&SC) states that: Except as provided in subdivisions (b) , (c) , and (e) an owner or operator, required to perform corrective action pursuant to Section 25299 . 37, or an owner or operator who, as of January 1, 1988, is required to perform corrective action, who has initiated this action in accordance with Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, who is undertaking corrective action in compliance with waste discharge requirements or other orders issued pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 25280) , may apply to the board for satisfaction of a claim filed pursuant to this article.
