Do not hesitate to let me know if there is any other <br /> information you need to close this violation. <br /> Thank you! <br /> Jordan Bottorff <br /> EH&S Manager <br /> Pacific Ethanol, Inc. 1 3028 Navy Dr. Stockton, CAI 95206 <br /> Office: 209.851.40771 Mobile: 510.904.7314 1 Fax: 209.235.0376 jbottorff@pacificethanol.com <br /> From:John Alaniz [EH] [mailto:jalanizl@sjcehd.com] <br /> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2019 2:38 PM <br /> To:Jordan Bottorff<jbottorff@pacificethanol.com> <br /> Cc: Garrett Backus [EH] <gbackus@sjcehd.com> <br /> Subject: Hazardous Waste-Defoam <br /> EXTERNAL EMAIL: Be cautious of incorrect email addresses and when opening attachments and links. <br /> 1 <br />
