R5-2006-0707 <br />hE6�1 <br />COVE CONTRACTORS, INC. <br />EL DORADO PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, INC. <br />COVE CONTRACTORS FACILITY <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />This Order is issued to the Cove Contractors, Inc. and El Dorado Property Management, based on <br />provisions of California Water Code Sections 13304 and 13267 that authorize the Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region (hereafter Regional Board) to issue a Cleanup and <br />Abatement Order (Order). <br />The Executive Officer of the Regional Board finds, with respect to the Discharger's acts, or failure to <br />act, the following: <br />1. Cove Contractors, Inc. and El Dorado Property Management; Inc., (hereafter jointly referred to as <br />Discharger) are the owners of the former Cove Contractors, Inc. facility (facility). The facility <br />was located on 24 -acres at what are now 3200 and 3242 South El Dorado Street in Stockton, <br />California. <br />2. The facility was an unpermitted landfill. Wastes deposited at the facility included, but were not <br />limited to, inert construction debris, concrete, dirt and auto shredder waste. The facility has not <br />been closed in accordance with Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Division 2 (Title 27). <br />Groundwater monitoring performed at the site in 1989 and 2003 demonstrate that groundwater is <br />impacted by metals, total dissolved solids (TDS), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This <br />Order establishes an enforceable time schedule for the Discharger to close the landfill during the <br />2006 construction season. <br />California Clay Products operated a 24 -acre brick factory from 1910 to 1955 at what are now <br />3200 and 3242 South El Dorado Street. The southeastern 10 -acres of the site was mined for clay <br />used for brick manufacturing. The brick manufacturing ceased in 1955, but clay continued to be <br />mined at the site until 1967. After 1955, the mine pit was partially backfilled with inert materials, <br />such as dirt and concrete from building and road contractors. Beginning in 1973, auto shredder <br />waste and other non -liquid, non -putrescent, non -petroleum and inert materials were disposed of in <br />the eastern portion of the site. <br />4. The 24 -acre parcel of the former California Clay Product site was split into two parcels. In June <br />1979, Cove Contractors purchased the southern 8.69 acres of the site (APN 177-02-029)..
