<br />This is an underground storage tank (UST) facility consisting of one 8,000 -gallon tank
<br />containing diesel for an emergency generator at Kaiser Permanente Hospital, 1777 W.
<br />Yosemite Avenue, Manteca, CA.
<br />On August 4, 2005, a permit application, SR0043375, was submitted to replace the
<br />diesel spill container and mechanical overfill prevention device. Ms. Michelle Le, Senior

<br />On November 18, 2005, Mr. Catanyag performed a routine UST inspection (Attachment

<br />was performed after the spill container was replaced (Attachment 5). Attached was a
