Weber Ave., Third Floor • P. O. Box 388 • Stockton, CA 95201-0388 <br /> 209/468-3420 <br /> 32TY OF TRACY COPY <br /> December 19, 1995 <br /> 325 E TENTH ST <br /> TRACY CA 95376 <br /> RE: BOYD CENTER SITE CODE: 231421 <br /> 560 TRACY BLVD <br /> TRACY CA <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division <br /> (PHS/EHD) has recently reviewed the analytical results of the soil samples <br /> taken from beneath the underground piping that was removed from this site on <br /> August 9, 1995. <br /> The presence of contaminants at your facility exceed the allowable limits of <br /> leaching potential as recommended by the LUFT Manual'. The former underground <br /> piping cannot be recommended for final closure without further investigation <br /> to determine the full extent of the soil and/or groundwater problem. <br /> PHS/EHD is providing you notification that an "Underground Storage Tank <br /> Unauthorized Release (Leak) /Contaminated Site Report" has been filed pursuant <br /> to Section 25295 of the Health and Safety Code (HSC) . The appropriate <br /> disclosure of a hazardous waste discharge pursuant to Section 25180.7 of the <br /> Health and Safety Code has been made, and the site has been placed on the list <br /> of contaminated sites in San Joaquin County which is maintained by PHS/EHD. <br /> PHS/EHD has been designated by the State of California water Resources Control <br /> Board (SWRCB) as the local agency overseeing the investigation of leaking <br /> USTs. Pursuant to Section 25299.37 (HSC) , "dischargers" must take corrective <br /> action in response to the unauthorized release. <br /> Please be advised that PHS/EHD will be utilizing the SWRCB "Prioritization <br /> System for Leaking Underground Storage Tank Sites" ranking list in order to <br /> prioritize all the contaminated sites. The "Prioritization System" has <br /> established criteria to distinguish between High Priority Sites, Moderate <br /> Priority Sites, and Low Priority Sites. Site specific conditions which <br /> influence the placement within the ranking system are, for example, depth to <br /> groundwater, proximity to a drinking water source (municipal or domestic <br /> well) , the extent of soil contamination, and the site's clean up funding <br /> availability. <br /> Based upon the priority ranking, you will be directed to begin the required <br /> investigation. However, given the conditions for the prioritization, wherever <br /> possible PHS/EHD will work with you to coincide enforcement directives in <br /> conjunction with secured clean up funding. If you have any questions, contact <br /> the PHS/EHD Site Mitigation Unit for further information at (209) 468-3450. <br /> If your piping removal was recent and you are not planning any remedial <br /> activities within 90 days, the tank excavation should be closed. It has been <br /> our experience that open tank excavations allow for rapid downward migration <br /> of contaminants. Contact the appropriate building department for specific <br /> requirements that may be necessary prior to filling with pea gravel and/or <br /> compacting the tank excavation with clean fill soil. <br /> Before receiving a PHS/EHD corrective action directive and in order to receive <br /> the SWRCB Clean up Fund Letter of Commitment, you must make application to the <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
