Gold Bond Building Products -3- 20 November 1985 Complaint Lori Cotulla, Local Health Department, initially responded to a complaint of red dye entering McDougald Slough. Her inspection noted dye entering the slough from a storm drain outfall adjacent to the Church Street culvert. Approximately 2. 5 feet of dye was floating atop three feet of water in a nearby storm drain equalization tank (10 x 12 x 15 feet) . Apparently road construction had partially blocked the outfall causing the drain to backup. Fifteen hundred Jallons of liquid was pumped from the sump by the City of Stockton and delivered to the local treatment plant. Lori Cotulla reported that the Department of Fish and Game had obtained samples of the dye. The source of the spill has been identified as Dopaco printing. Apparently, the ,janitor poured red ink into the loading dock sump which discharges to McDougald Slough via the storm drain system. Employees further stated that press con- densate water is dumped into the sump. Storm Drain System During the inspection it became apparent that numerous fugitive storm drain connections may exist within the facilities. These connections may pose a threat to the beneficial uses of McDougald and should be eliminated. Underground Tanks Numerous problems concerning underground tanks were noted during the inspection. Since counties have been given authority in enforcing the underground tank program, local health officials assisted by Gordon Boggs of our office will address this matter. The following tanks have been reportedly registered with the state: Date Tank # Size (gal ) Type Contents Status Installed Gold Bond 1. 210,00 Tar coated Bunker Oil #6 Active 1920's concrete 2. 7,040 Tar coated Bunker Oil #6 Active -- concrete 3. 7,040 Tar coated Bunker Oil #6 Active -- concrete
