Garcia and Arturo Medrano <br /> P.O. Box 758 3023 E. Woodson Road <br /> Lodi, CA 95240 Acampo, CA 95220 <br /> CONCURRENCE WITH MODIFIED SITE ASSESSMENT WORKPLAN, <br /> PARMAR TEXACO (T0607700146), 521 NORTH CHEROKEE LANE, LODI, <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, UST CASE#390211 <br /> Central Valley Water Board staff(Staff) has reviewed the 17 August 2023 Memorandum <br /> of Modified Site Assessment Workplan (Workplan Memo), submitted on your behalf by <br /> your consultant Stephen G. Muir Consulting Geologist & Geophysicist (Muir). Muir <br /> submitted the Workplan Memo as an amendment to the February 2018 Amended <br /> Workplan for Additional Soil and Groundwater Site Assessment(2018 Amended <br /> Workplan), which was also submitted by Muir on your behalf. In a 14 August 2018 letter, <br /> Staff agreed with the work proposed by Muir in the 2018 Amended Workplan and <br /> requested that you complete additional actions. Staff concurs with the reduced scope of <br /> work proposed by Muir in the Workplan Memo. Muir proposes to complete this work <br /> during September 2023. <br /> In the Workplan Memo, Muir stated that"current funding will not provide for the <br /> complete scope of work proposed in the February 2018 workplan as modified by the <br /> RWQCB letter dated August 14, 2018." Staff does not concur with this statement. <br /> Leaking Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund (CUF) claim #8790 assigned to this <br /> case, of which you are the claimant, has approximately $1,000,000 remaining, which is <br /> sufficient to reimburse the costs associated with the actions proposed in the 2018 <br /> Amended Workplan. <br /> In a 13 September 2023 phone conversation between Muir and Staff, Muir expressed <br /> concerns regarding your inability to carry the costs of implementing all actions proposed <br /> in the 2018 Amended Workplan until receiving reimbursement from the CUF. Despite <br /> being unable to bear anticipated costs, work proposed in the 2018 Amended Workplan <br /> is required to move this case towards closure. The work proposed in the 2018 Amended <br /> Workplan has been delayed for five (5) years. Further delaying progress towards <br /> closure will result in Staff pursuing enforcement action against you for non-compliance <br /> with issued directives. <br /> In the Workplan Memo, Muir proposes to complete the actions proposed in the 2018 <br /> Amended Workplan with the following exceptions: <br /> MARK BRADFORD, CHAIR I PATRICK PULUPA, ESo., EXECUTIVE OFFICER <br /> 11020 Sun Center Drive#200, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 1 www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralvalley <br />
