Report Ave.The individual who called in reported that once a week the business next to 1549 N. Report <br /> Ave. dumps some type of substance into the storm drain at that location. <br /> OBSERVATIONS: <br /> Arrived on site and observed a white powder-like material leading to a drain, possibly a storm drain, from in front of a <br /> business. Met with Jaime Fuentes, business owner,who explained that the white material is residual natural stone from his <br /> business,which cuts and polishes stone for the fabrication of counter tops. Jaime explained that the white residual leading <br /> to the drain was a result of a bag of the residual that broke open last Friday(8/14), and he applied water to the area to <br /> reduce the dust from the residual in the air.As a result,the residual flowed toward the drain, but did not enter the drain, and <br /> remained on the surface. Jaime opened the drain;the drain was dry and the white residual was not observed in the drain. <br /> Jaime stated he swept up most of the residual and placed it in a container inside his shop, but was unable to complete the <br /> clean-up because a truck was parked near the drain at the time of his cleaning.The residual from the clean-up was observed <br /> in a container at the time of inspection.According to Jaime and Edgar Gomez,who is the owner of EG Construction and <br /> subleases part of the facility to Jaime, state the residual stone is disposed of at the county recycling center on Harney Lane <br /> in Lodi and at the Lovelace Facility in Manteca. Jaime states their are no oils or other chemicals used in the cutting and <br /> polishing of the stone.
