Complaint Investigation Summary Report#:5105 COMPLAINT ID: CO0051712 Site Location: UNION ST& LAFAYETTE ST Activity Summary Activity Date Recorded by 03/06/2020 Received spill report 20-1307. UPRR leases a piece of property to T. Ramirez BAKER Trucking and they are servicing their trucks and releasing engine oil onto the land. Amount is unknown but it is believed to be less than 100 gallons. Called Mike Algots with UPRR at 916-580-9999 and left a message. Went out to site. Spoke with the tow truck company and they pointed me towards the piece of property. Attempted to make contact with either property owner or someone with T. Ramirez Trucking. Northern half of property has approximately 25 cars parked. There were also two trailers that appeared to be occupied. A man was observed sanding a car. He said he did not speak English. A woman and a man were sitting in a parked van on the northern half of the property. They were not part of T. Ramirez Trucking and were currently waiting for someone. Went to the southern half of the property to find someone with T. Ramirez Trucking. The southern half of the property was full of parked semi-trucks. Oily staining was observed on the dirt in several areas. A majority of the oily stains appeared to be from leaking trucks. There were a couple stains from oily engine parts being placed on the dirt. Nobody was on this piece of the property. Went towards the entrance and received a call from Mike Algots. He said that he has not been on the property yet but did fly his drone over. He said he saw at least 12 individual spots on the ground. He said that T. Ramirez Trucking will be held responsible to clean up the oil spills and it will go through UPRR's site mitigation department. Another man named Benny Castro showed up at the site at that time. He said he had a couple cars on the property that he pays to store there but was not with T. Ramirez Trucking. Spoke with the tow company again. He said to try and go to the property across the street because they have that one as well. The man at that property did not speak English either. He brought his wife out of the trailer and she said they were not with the T Ramirez Trucking either and she had no contact information for the owner. Returned back to the office. Discussed complaint with Elena Manzo (Lead Sr. REHS). Called Tomas Ramirez (Owner of T. Ramirez Trucking) at 209-993-6186. Let him know about the complaint and that he would need to clean up the oil spills on the property and provide disposal records for the waste generated. He said that he would get everything cleaned up. I asked him if he also had the part of the property with the trailers and cars and he said yes. He said he already told all the people to get off the property. They will be gone in a couple days. Finished entering the complaint information and wrote Notice to Abate. Completed Emergency Response Record, Site Map and Prop 65. Emailed Notice to Abate to Tomas Ramirez (Owner) at tramireztrucking@yahoo.com and Mike Algots of UPRR at mjalgots@up.com Put a copy of Notice to Abate on shelf to mail to Tomas Ramirez certified. Gave Prop 65 to Elena Manzo (Lead Sr. REHS) for review. Filled out pink complaint form and turned it in for the two occupied trailers on the property. Called City of Stockton Code Enforcement at 209-937-8813 to report that the trucking company is parking vehicles on a dirt lot. 5105.rpt Page 2 of 5
