f fk <br /> MEMORANDUM APR 10 1979 <br /> SAN J OA <br /> T0: Rich Rose QU►N -Or-aL <br /> FROM: F. 0. McDermott HEALTH DISTRICT <br /> SUBJECT: MUD Disposal Site <br /> On 23 March 1979, in the company of Joe Ga nes , I visited the <br /> subject disposal site. <br /> The inspection was made as a follow—up to a complaint I received <br /> from Weber Fisher, Fish and Game Department Warden, on <br /> 25 February 1979. <br /> Warden Fisher was concerned about an oil slick covering the <br /> surface of the disposal site ponds and the possibility of <br /> rodents perforating the levee adjacent to Mosher Slough and <br /> discharging the oil waste to the slough. <br /> After inspecting the site on 26 February 1979, I phoned Joe Gaines, <br /> site operator, and informed him of Warden Fisher' s concerns . <br /> Mr. Gaines told me he would "immediately begin placing oil <br /> absorbent mats on the surface of the ponds to remove the oil" . <br /> From my inspection on 23 March 1979 it was determined that <br /> 95 percent of the surface oil had been removed and Mr. Gaines <br /> was still placing mats to remove the remaining 5 percent . <br /> Mr. Gaines and Warden Fisher have informed the truck drivers <br /> that they would be fined by the Department of Fish and Game <br /> if they are found discharging oil waste at the site . <br /> With the warning to the drivers and the end of the rainy season <br /> this situation should clear up. Mr . Gaines has, since my last <br /> inspection, beefed up the levees, repaired the fences and gates, <br /> and has improved the overall. disposal site. <br /> The site is located off the main stream highways and is subjected <br /> to minor vandalism such as stealing of fence and gate materials . <br /> Mr. Gaines informed me that he plans to visit and inspect the <br /> site more frequently. <br /> FOM:sm <br /> 4/6/79 <br /> cc: Arcady Oil (form letter) <br /> Fish and Game: Warden Fisher <br /> San Joaquin County Health Department <br />
