You were given sixty (60) days to comply. <br /> To date, no compliance documentation has been received, nor any indication of when such <br /> documentation is to be expected. <br /> On December 20, 2013, you submitted a written response, stating you did not have financial <br /> resources to remove the USTs located at 2070 S EI Dorado Street, Stockton, CA 95206. You <br /> also stated you were willing to come into compliance by filling the USTs for closure in place. On <br /> April 8, 2014, the State Water Board responded to your letter directing you to contact the San <br /> Joaquin County Environmental Health Department to inquire about a permit to close the USTs <br /> in place. If you are claiming financial hardship, please follow the steps listed in the enclosed <br /> flyer, "Guidance for Tank Owners Claiming Financial Hardship", to determine if you are eligible <br /> for assistance. Claiming financial hardship does not in any way relieve you from your obligation <br /> to properly close the USTs. <br /> Please submit compliance documentation to the State Water Board and your local Certified <br /> Unified Program Agency (CUPA) to remove or abandon the UST/s in place, along with a <br /> projected timeline to comply with the removal and sampling requirements. You are required to <br /> obtain a UST closure permit from your CUPA before proceeding with UST removal or closure in <br /> place. Your Site continues to be in violation of the following regulation, pursuant to H&SC <br /> Chapter 6.7 and CCR Title 23, Chapter 16: <br /> H&SC 25298 - Abandonment, Closing, or Temporary Ceasing of Operation of <br /> Underground Storage Tank <br /> You are required to correct any on-going violations and submit compliance <br /> documentation to the State Water Board via the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br /> and San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department within sixty (60) days from <br /> the date of this letter. <br /> FEUCrA M:,F1CL18, CHAIR I THOMAS HOWARD.
