r � <br /> STATE OF CALIFORNIA—HEALTH AND WELFARE AGENCY GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN, Governor <br /> DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES <br /> 4 714/744 P STREET ' <br /> VIMP <br /> SACRAMENTO, CA 95814 <br /> (916) 324-2434 March 31, 1989 <br /> Ms. Jeanne M. Zolezzi <br /> Neumiller and Beardslee <br /> 509 West Weber Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95203-3165 F�C1N <br /> Dear Ms. Zolezzi: <br /> Thank you for your March 2, 1989 letter regarding the proposed <br /> residential„ subdivision located in Lathrop, San Joaquin County <br /> (SU-88-14) . <br /> The Department of Health Services has expressed concern (letter to <br /> Kitty Walker, San Joaquin County Department of Planning and <br /> Building Inspection dated November 8, 1988) with the proposed <br /> development property regarding two matters: <br /> (1) Possible hazardous waste disposal at Air Products and <br /> Chemicals, Inc. (Air Products) located within 2 , 000 feet of <br /> the proposed subdivision. <br /> (2) Historical uses of three aeration basins located on the <br /> proposed subdivision site. <br /> On February 7 , 1989 , Mr. Al Fong of our Region 1 office inspected <br /> the waste disposal area at Air Products. We have determined that <br /> this disposed material, consisting of 1/4 inch diameter alumina <br /> balls, is non-hazardous and does not represent a potential health <br /> hazard to future residents at the proposed subdivision. However, <br /> to avoid further problems with the disposal area, we recommend that <br /> Air Products clean up the alumina balls. <br /> We also reviewed the letter you provided us from the San Joaquin <br /> County Local Health District dated April 26, 1988 , regarding the <br /> three aeration basins located on the proposed subdivision. Based <br /> on this information, we believe that the procedure recommended by <br /> the Health District will be adequate to eliminate our concern with <br /> these ponds. <br /> At this time, we have no reason to believe there is an existing or <br /> potential health hazard to future residents at the proposed <br /> subdivision. Therefore, it is not necessary to submit a border <br /> zone property request. However, if any new information indicates <br /> there is a significant health hazard from a hazardous waste <br /> disposal within 2 , 000 feet of the proposed subdivision, or from the <br /> former aeration basins located at the property, a border zone <br /> determination may be necessary. <br />
