<br /> ORDER TO SUBMIT TECHNICAL REPORTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 13267
<br /> OF THE CALIFORNIA WATER CODE, GENE GABBARD, INC.,640 NORTH
<br /> EL DORADO STREET, STOCKTON, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY (CASE # 391005)
<br /> You are legally obligated to respond to this Order. Please read this Order carefully.
<br /> According to San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) records,
<br /> one 250-gallon waste oil underground storage tank (UST) was removed from your site on
<br /> 10 April 1998. Analyses of confirmation soil samples taken after the UST removal
<br /> reported maximum results for total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg,
<br /> 1,000 milligrams per kilogram or mg/kg), TPH as diesel (TPHd, 4,000 mg/kg), TPH as
<br /> motor oil (24,000 mg/kg), benzene (8.1 mg/kg), toluene (51 mg/kg), ethylbenzene
<br /> (17 mg/kg), xylenes (90 mg/kg), tetrachloroethene (PCE, 2.6 mg/kg), and lead
<br /> (1 ,500 mg/kg). At the time the release was discovered, Gene Gabbard, Inc. was both
<br /> owner and operator of the site and the UST. Our files show that SJCEHD issued a formal
<br /> "Notice of Responsibility" to Jim and Shelya Creel on 17 May 2000 identifying the Creels
<br /> as the new property owners.
<br /> Additional soil investigations, conducted in January and October of 1999, reported
<br /> maximum soil concentrations as TPHg (1,800 mg/kg), TPHd (5,000 mg/kg), total
<br /> recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH, 79,000 mg/kg), benzene (4.6 mg/kg),
<br /> toluene (33 mg/kg), ethylbenzene (11 mg/kg), xylenes (61 mg/kg), naphthalene
<br /> (8.4 mg/kg), and total lead (3,500 mg/kg). Maximum grab groundwater results for
<br /> January and October 1999 were TPHg (4,500 micrograms per Liter or ug/L), TPHd
<br /> (510,000 ug/L), TRPH (16,000,000 ug/L), benzene (170 ug/L), toluene (640 ug/L),
<br /> ethylbenzene (110 ug/L), xylenes (570 ug/L), naphthalene (680 ug/L), and
<br /> cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2 DCE, 32 ug/L).
<br /> SJCEHD has overseen the corrective action activities at the subject site since 1998. In a
<br /> letter to Regional Board staff dated 13 June 2008, SJCEHD referred oversight lead of the
<br /> subject case to the Regional Board as a result, in part, of "...the responsible party's
<br /> history of recalcitrance...". One identified point of recalcitrance is that no groundwater
<br /> monitoring has occurred since 20 June 2006. In addition to the discontinuance of
