Hazelton Avenue P. 0. Box 2009 Stockton, CA 95202 Attention: Cynthia Wagner Cynthia: Re: 2201 W. Washington, Stockton, CA, Port of Stockton Tank removal and cleanup On or about January 30, 1989, Jim Thorpe Oil, Inc, tried to remove one (1) 10,000 gallon underground heating oil tank on the grounds of the Port of Stockton at the above location. We encountered a problem removing the tank because of the odd shape and no lifting eyes were on the tank. A San Joaquin Local Health District re- vresentative was on site at that time. When we disturbed the tank, an area approx- -imately 6 inches square flaked off/out of the bottom of the tank and allowed a small amount of residual heavy heating oil to leak into the excavation at the north end. The oil was a very heavy and viscous residue and did not spread over a wide area. We had to get a different piece of equipment to lift the tank out of the hole, so it was decided by the San Joaquin Local Health District representative and us to take samples the next morning. When the tank was removed later that day, we were able to clean up the spill and placed the sand/oil mixture on plastic and covered it with same on the Job site, Sampler were taken from the excavation the next morning, January 31. 1989, and the results (Sample ID nos. Tank #1 North and Tank #1 South) showed "Nonretectable" from the soil samples taken from both ends of the tank excavation. The Health District has a copy,of the soil sample analysis on file. A resample of the product line excavation is being required/requested at this time and we intend to remove all contaminate&,soil from the site at one time. If any more information is required, please call our office. Sincerely, JIM THORPE OIL, INC. �. is a orpe President RT/tkt
