Y --gli i�i•j�, '� 2005 OCT -6 PH {. 22 t C0UN TY ENV 1p, NMENTAL HEALTH DEPt,RTFIENT 4 October 2005 Garrett Bachus, REHS Environmental Health Department San Joaquin County 304 East Weber Avenue, Third Floor Stockton, CA 95202-2708 Dear Mr. Backus We greatly appreciate the time you took on 9/27/05 to come back to our store at 3927 Clark Dr. in Stockton CA to deliver your inspection report from 9/16/05. So many times we receive only a letter and are faced with interpretation and communication problems. It was very helpful to be able to discuss all the issues with you. We have one objection to the inspection report delivered, regarding your count of how many loose tires were on site during the original 9/16/05 visit. We have always understood the waste tire count to not include the tires in our customer area, which are for sale. In our meeting with you, you explained that all the loose tires (not attached to a vehicle axle, or used as a stand) in the customer area would be counted as waste tires. You further explained that you counted 15,000 such tires during your 9/16/05 visit. We feel that this number must be incorrect. In fact, after the phone call we received from your co-worker Jennie Ruiz, on 9/20/05, we began picking up all the loose tires from the store and hauling them off for disposal. Our records show that we disposed of approximately 3,000 tires (all manifested) by the time of your re-visit on 9/27/05. There were approximately 1,200 from the production area and approximately 200 sold to customers, which means we picked up approximately 2,000 from the customer area. During your second visit on 9/27/05, you appeared to agree with our estimate that there were approximately 500 loose tires in the customer area. This should show that there could not have been anywhere close to 15,000 during your initial visit, but in fact would be closer to 2,500— 3,000. Please respond to this at your convenience, so we have some record of whether or not you agree with this assessment. For now, we are striving to keep all loose tires on the entire property to less than 1,500. We have adopted some new procedures that we feel will keep us within this limit. We look forward to your next visit to show you that we can comply with this regulation.
