Thompsen Rd. <br /> The secondary purpose of this letter will be to summarize our <br /> discussion which identified specific areas of concern as a result <br /> the mitigative activities at your site. <br /> A mutual concern was the lack of regulation of consultanting firms. <br /> The Business and Professions Code states that businesses shall not <br /> perform their activities in an unfair advantage. It was unclear to <br /> us during our meeting how this Business and Professions Code is <br /> enforced or which state agency performs the enforcement. <br /> Assemblyman Andal indicated his office would identify this process <br /> and provide this information to Public Health Services, <br /> Environmental Health Division (PHS-EHD) . <br /> our discussion of current PHS-EHD programs for oversight of leaking <br /> underground fuel storage tanks has empowered the Site Mitigation <br /> staff to seek suggestions for "streamlining" simple aspects of <br /> future soil investigations. <br /> The Environmental Health Division intends to develop a "Site <br /> Mitigation Assessment Committee" (SMAC) whose purpose will be to <br /> identify specific areas in which PHS-EHD's involvement and <br /> direction of simple soil investigations can be improved without <br /> creating business and regulatory conflicts. <br /> The f irst meeting of SMAC will take place within the next 3 - 4 <br /> weeks and will provide Assemblyman Andal with suggestions for <br /> possible future legislation, if warranted. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin Counry Heaith Crate Services �� <br />
