... 1 .w received from May 25, 1994 inspection. Record and precision testing violations had been corrected. However, no proof of Financial Responsibility had been provided by either the business owner or property owner. Briggs had copies of the Inspection Reports and Financial Responsibility information sent to the property owner. July 15, 1994 Copies of the Inspection Reports and Financial Responsibility information was mailed to owner by the Unit III secretary. July 28, 1994 Briggs received a letter dated July 26, 1994 from Mr. Don J. Nathe, property owner, inquiring about financial responsibility. Briggs phoned Mr. Nathe who told her that he couldn't fill out financial responsibility form because he was not the owner/operator of the business. Briggs told him he was asking her legal questions and an attorney was needed. July 29, 1994 Briggs phoned California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) and left a message for Janet Haynes requesting information on financial responsibility for Mr. Nathe. Briggs mailed HBSC Section 25292.2, Evidence of Financial Responsibility, and the Petroleum Underground Storage Tank Financial Responsibility Guide to Mr. Nathe. Briggs gave a new compliance date of August 15, 1994 to Mr. Nathe. August 12, 1994 Briggs received a letter dated August 8, 1994 from Mr. Nathe denying financial responsibility for the UST as per lease agreement. August 16, 1994 Briggs spoke to Mr. Lopez. He denies he is the tank owner and will not provide financial responsibility. He is seeing an attorney. Briggs explained to Mr. Lopez either Mr. Lopez or Mr. Nathe can provide financial responsibility AND it is in their best interest to provide this information. This disagreement is between Mr. Lopez and Mr. Nathe. Briggs extended the compliance date to September 16, 1994. Briggs hand delivered HSC Section 25292.2 to Mr. Lopez, and told him, "If the operator/owner cannot solve their differences and come into compliance by providing financial responsibility after September 16, 1994 it may be determined that they have willfully disregarded the law. August 25, 1994 Briggs received a phone message from Don Nathe. Briggs returned his call and left a message on his recorder. Briggs told Mr. Nathe she hopes he and Mr. Lopez can work out the financial responsibility between them by October. Briggs will be back then and follow up on compliance. If Mr. Nathe and Mr. Lopez cannot work out an agreement and contamination is later found when the UST is removed the site may be determined to be ineligible for state cleanup funds. Briggs phoned Mr. Lopez. Mr. Lopez assured Briggs he is working on financial responsibility through his lawyer and he is willing to comply. This site has had a permit since 1988 so Briggs is willing to extend the compliance date to October. October 14, 1994 Briggs received, reviewed, and filed: 1) Financial Responsibility from Mr. Lopez, 2) Precision Test Results, and 3) Written Monitoring and Response Plan. The site is now in compliance. June 10, 1997 Briggs performed a routine inspection with Mr. Lopez. Routine inspection revealed tank is being gauged and records (weekly) are being kept. UST has had last precision test in December 1995. 4
