In reviewing our file, the correspondence from Steven P. Mc Donald, of Dorazio, Barnhorst and Bonar, attorneys for the Port of Stockton, and the correspondence from William H. Parish, attorney for the Bank of Stockton, it appears that Energy Petroleum, Inc . , has filed voluntary bankruptcy , and that possession of the real property at the Port of Stockton where the tanks in question are located, has been returned to the Port of Stockton sometime prior to duly 17 , 1987 . It is our further understanding that the underground storage tanks are still in place. I have been advised by my attorney that under the law of the State of California, the Port of Stockton became the owner of those tanks at such time as possession of the real property was returned to the Port . Therefore , the Port of Stockton is obligated to comply with the provisions of the Underground Storage of Hazardous Substances law, Health and Safety Code, commencing with Section 25280 . I call your attention , in particular, to the following provisions: 1 . Section 25284(c) of the Health and safety Code requires any person assuming ownership of an underground storage tank to apply for an operating permit or to accept the obligations of a transferred permit . 2 . Section 25298 of the Health and Safety Code provides for the abandonment , closing or temporary ceasing of operation of underground storage tanks , which applies to you if the tanks are not now in use.
