Hammer Lane Stockton, CA 95212 Ron; NOV 2 4 2008 ENVIROMAENT HEALTH PERMIT/SERVICES I am attaching the list of my qualifications and additional letters on the Title 22 Inspection. Title 22 requires that the inspection of Hazardous waste tank systems be inspected by a qualified professional engineer that is registered in the State of California. Additionally the 2008 Engineering Act requires the engineer to only work in areas of competence. See the paragraph below from Title 16, Division 5. b) Responsible Charge Criteria. In order to evaluate whether an engineer is in responsible charge, the following must be considered: The professional engineer who signs engineering documents must be capable of answering questions asked by individuals who are licensed by the Board in the appropriate branch ofprofessional engineering relevant to the project and who are fully competent and proficient by education and experience in the field or fields ofprofessional engineering relevant to the project. These questions would be relevant to the engineering decisions made during the individual's participation in the project, and in sufficient detail to leave little question as to the engineer's technical knowledge of the engineering performed. It is not necessary to defend decisions as in an adversarial situation, but only to demonstrate that the individual in responsible charge made, or reviewed and approved them and possessed sufficient knowledge of the project to make, or review and approve, them. To meet these requirements for experience and education, I have obtained several industry recognized certificates for above ground tank inspection. Additionally, I have studied in areas of tank design. In areas where I feel that I am not qualified to provide sound judgment I seek other qualified engineers who can provide the engineering guidance required. An example of this, is the design of tank anchors. I am not qualified to design tank anchors so I have a registered civil or structural engineer provide the anchor design and submit the design directly to the owner of the tank. However, if the tank is anchored, I perform tank seismic calculations from UBC, IBC or API 650 to determine if the anchor is sufficient to restrain the tank. This is used as a check on the tank anchor which was done initially by a civil or structural engineer during the installation of the
