EL DORADO ST., STOCKTON, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY I have reviewed your request,received on October 9,2001,for pre-approval of corrective action costs. The total cost pre-approved as eligible for reimbursement for free product removal from MW-3 approved by the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division(County)is$4,931. Be aware that this pre-approval does not constitute a decision on reimbursement: necessary corrective action costs for work directed and approved by the County will be eligible for reimbursement at costs consistent with those pre-approved in this letter. In an effort to expedite future reimbursement requests associated with the implementation of the corrective action tasks pre-approved in this letter,we ask that the attached"Pre-Approval Specific Reimbursement Request Form"be completed,updated and submitted with each reimbursement request. All relevant supporting documentation must also be included with each reimbursement request. In order for future casts for corrective action to be part of the expedited reimbursement process, they must be pre-approved in writing by Fund staff.All costs for corrective action must meet the requirements of Article 11, Chapter 16, Underground Storage Tank Regulations in order to be eligible for reimbursement. ♦ Only the tasks/costs reflected above are pre-approved at this time. The Fund will review any tasks/costs that go beyond the pre-approved amount to determine if they are necessary and reasonable. However,if costs exceed the above pre-approved amounts,the Fund will be unable to expedite your Reimbursement Request. ♦ If a different scope of work becomes necessary,then you must request pre-approval of costs on the new scope of work. ♦ Although I have referred to the Ground Zero Analysis, Inc.proposal in my pre-approval above,please be aware that you will be entering into a private contract: the State of California cannot compel you to sign any specific contract. Please remember that it is still necessary to submit the actual costs of the work as explained in the Reimbursement Reauest Instructions to confirm that the costs are consistent with this pre-approval before you will be reimbursed. Please insure that your consultant prepares their invoices to include the required breakdown of costs on a time and materials basis,that invoiced tasks are consistent with the California EnvironmentslProtectfon Agency (rA Recycled Paper
