Waterloo Rd. <br />Stockton, CA <br />JUL 2 9 2005 <br />On May 26, 2005, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) staff <br />made an inspection at the above referenced facility. At the time of the inspection EHD <br />staff noted that the site has a septic system that serves more than 20 people per day. <br />Since ground water is a source of drinking water, subsurface waste disposal is regulated <br />under the United States Safe Drinking Water Act. <br />EHD has implemented a Local Agency Groundwater Protection/Underground Injection <br />Control (UIC) Program in accordance with guidelines prepared by the United States <br />Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The primary focus of the program is to <br />protect drinking water by identification and evaluation of subsurface disposal of waste <br />fluids that may lead to the degradation of drinking water supplies. <br />By definition any septic system that serves more than 20 people per day is a shallow <br />injection well, so your facility has been placed on the EHD list of UIC sites. If your septic <br />system is used for the disposal of solely sanitary waste and serves fewer than 20 <br />persons per day, please inform EHD of this in writing. In addition, please provide in <br />writing the disposal method for your storm water (on site pond, ditches, dry wells). <br />Following review of the information submitted, EHD will evaluate if your storm water <br />disposal method meets the definition of an underground injection well and if <br />modifications are necessary and/or if it should be inventoried as an underground <br />injection well. Enclosed is an "Inventory of Injection Wells" form that is to be completed <br />and submitted to USEPA in San Francisco (address on page 2 of form) if your facility <br />has a septic or storm system that meets the definition of an underground injection well. <br />Please submit a copy of the form to EHD if it is completed. <br />The above requested information about your facility should be submitted to EHD by <br />September 1, 2005. If you have any questions contact me at (209) 468-3449. <br />Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br />Environmental Health Department <br />Margaret Lagorio, Supervising REHS <br />Unit IV <br />Enc
