We have reviewed your request and the supporting documents you provided, and we <br /> have consulted with the local permitting agency and water purveyor. We apologize for the <br /> lengthy delay in responding to your request. Our Geotracker database was undergoing <br /> extensive upgrades, and the maps that we rely on to review requests based on location were <br /> not available until recently. <br /> The basis for your request was that the well was greater than 1000 feet from your UST and that <br /> the well in question would be replaced by city water, and you provided information in support of <br /> this. The requirement for ELD testing is determined by the distance between the UST system <br /> and the public drinking water well [Health & Safety Code Ch. 6.7, Sec. 25292.5]. State law <br /> defines an underground storage tank system to include the associated piping [Health & Safety <br /> Code, Ch. 6.7, Sec. 25281(y)(1)]. <br /> In the case of your facility, there is product piping on the north side of the canopy over the <br /> dispensers. Thus the distance between the UST system and the well must be measured from <br /> the location of this piping and not from the tank which you measured at 37 n 55' 26"N /-1210 13' <br /> 45". Using the "Google" map that provides the base maps for our Geotracker database, we <br /> determined that the location of the closest component of your UST system is actually 37.923397 <br /> /-121.2294182). (See enclosed map). The local permitting agency has verified that the location <br /> of your UST system is correct in our Geotracker database at the coordinates listed above. The <br /> water purveyor, Winston S Mobile Home Park, has confirmed that the well is correctly located in <br /> our Geotracker database and that it is an active well. <br /> We also contacted the City of Stockton to find out if city water would be available to the mobile <br /> home park. Mr. John Wotila of the Municipal Utilities Department stated that the city has a large <br /> transmission main, which is not available for residential hookup, near the mobile home park. <br /> The mobile home park is located in San Joaquin County; not in the City of Stockton, and the city <br /> would have to annex the land and perform engineering and construction work to extend water <br /> service to this area. Mr. Wotila stated that the city has no plans at this time to make city water <br /> accessible to residential users, including the Winston S Mobile Home Park. This means that the <br /> mobile home park residents will continue to rely on their well for drinking water for the <br /> foreseeable future. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> C,* Recycled Paper <br />
