Pte, <br />u S Department <br />of Transportation <br />Federal Aviation <br />Administration <br />June 6, 1986 <br />Jogi Khanna, M.D. Health Officer <br />San Joaquin County <br />1601 E. Hazelton Ave., P.O. Box 2009 <br />Stockton, CA 95201 <br />Dear Sir: <br />ow <br />FILE COPY <br />W,%1 wro Pd ,fl[ Hvpion PO Bo, 92007 <br />Worldd, Post,11 Come, <br />Los Annelv,. CA 90009 <br />As an organization, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is deeply <br />concerned about environmental issues and continuously strives to protect <br />that aspect of our nation's wealth. In this pursuit, the FAA has been <br />ensuring the integrity of its entire underground storage tank inventory by <br />monthly tank gauging. In support of all of the recently enacted ordinances <br />governing this subject, the FAA is prepared to implement weekly tank gauging <br />immediately to fulfill the present monitoring requirements. <br />In addition to this, the FAA Western -Pacific Region had devised a three year <br />plan in which all of the underground storage tank requirements can be met. <br />To date, however, national budgetary consideration for this plan, although <br />expected, has not been realized. Efforts persist to obtain the required <br />level of funding needed to address this problem in a comprehensive program <br />manner. <br />At this time, the FAA does not have the fiscal resources necessary to comply <br />with the requirement to remit permit fees or perform tank integrity tests. <br />As you are probably aware, since the advent of the Gramm-Rudman legislation, <br />the FAA has been faced with budgetary uncertainty. Prudence in the <br />management of programs must be emphasized while not derogating the FAA's <br />mission to air safety. As soon as the funding is made available for <br />obligation, your office will be contacted, permit fees disbursed, and <br />arrangements for conducting the required integrity tests will be <br />consummated. <br />Please direct your written inquiries to Mr. Robin Wilkerson, FAA, <br />Maintenance Operations Branch, P.O. Box 92007, WWPC, Los Angeles, CA 90009, <br />or contact Mr. Wilkerson at (213) 297-1109. <br />Sincerely, <br />H. C. McClure <br />Director <br />IAM <br />f0 Yrs d A` T.�Mr Cm m,l F.r.t.�� <br />
