Henao <br /> SANJOA2UIN COUNTY <br /> OFFICE Of EM RGENCY SERVICES x � <br /> Date: 28 August 1996 Signature: <br /> Subject: Inspection of Property owned by John Joseph DeMartini (Linden Nut Company) in <br /> Linden (San Joaquin Count)) <br /> On 22 August 1996 at the request of Lori Oldfather, Fish and Game Warden, I conducted a field <br /> inspection of the Linden Nut Company. I was accompanied by Ms. Lori Oldfather. The field inspection <br /> was conducted as a result of the construction of a pipeline by Mr. John Joseph DeMartini to convey all <br /> storm water directly into the emba­n kment of the_Calaveras River. This work was all done without a <br /> artment oFis <br /> permit from the Depf h and Game for stye–� am bei-alteration. <br /> During the inspection I did not find any evidence that this facility had recently discharged any wastewater <br /> either to land or to the Calaveras River. The Linden Nut Company is not subjected to a!12 <br /> permiLfrom-our office due to the type of operation, re-packing of nuts, therefore, I td not firm watern any <br /> violations of State water quality laws during the time of inspection. <br /> I do agree however, that the placement of the pipe into the embankment of the Calaveras River requires a <br /> permit from Fish_andQame. Futhermore, the manner in which the construction was done, left large <br /> amounts of uncompacted soil in the bank of the Calaveras River and during the winter months large <br /> portions of this loose soil will be washed down into the Calaveras River. This situation will cause great <br /> detriment to the fish and wildlife as well as the quality of the River. <br /> I also found a pallet containing about 50+ qtd car batte ' This is an illegal storage of hazardous <br /> materials and this will be referred to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health. <br /> It is my understanding that the staff of the Department of Fish and Game will be following up on the <br /> disturbance of the soil at the River embankment. <br /> cc: ' State Department of Toxic Substance Control, Sacramento <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health, Stockton <br /> _(o " <br /> i <br /> I <br />
