a <br /> 02/15/95 � 3 <br /> The District currently has three (3) UST's at the Lodi yard, four (4) UST's at the <br /> Stockton yard, and one (1) above-ground, vault-type, storage tank at Escalon <br /> Airstrip. Current operational needs require only two (2) tanks at Lodi and two (2) <br /> tanks at Stockton; no tanks are needed at Escalon. It would be feasible to <br /> eliminate 2 UST's from both the Lodi and Stockton yards and transfer the above <br /> ground tank from Escalon to Lodi. The rationale for this proposal is as follows: <br /> • Currently at Lodi there is one (1) 7500 gallon and one (1) 6000 UST used for <br /> insecticide oil storage and one (1) 1000 gallon UST for gasoline. The <br /> current and anticipated future storage requirement for oil is =-7500 gallons, <br /> and =1000 gallons for gasoline. The present site of contamination is in the <br /> area of the 1000 and 6000 gallon UST's; any remediation will have to <br /> coordinate with these tanks. By removing the 1000 and 6000 UST's we can <br /> realize easier and less-costly methods of remediation and site closure. By <br /> moving the 1000 gallon above ground tank from Escalon to Lodi we can <br /> restore our storage capacity to operational need. <br /> • Currently at Stockton there are two (2) 8000 gallon UST's used for <br /> insecticide oil storage, one (1) 8000 gallon UST used for aviation gas <br /> storage, and one (1) 6000 gallon UST used for gasoline storage. The <br /> current and anticipated future storage requirement for oil is =7500 gallons, <br /> and =6000 gallons for gasoline. The present site of contamination is in the <br /> area of the two (2) 8000 gallon oil tanks. By transferring the use of the <br /> aviation gas tank from gas storage to oil storage and removing the 2 oil <br /> tanks, we will realize the same benefits described above. <br /> • Additional benefits include: less oversight and monitoring costs for UST <br /> laws, reduced insurance and trust account requirements, and reduced <br /> liability from potential leaking UST's. <br /> I discussed this concept with EHD at our January 1995 meeting. They feel the <br /> plan can help reduce our remediation costs and future liability at both sites. <br /> This is referenced in their letter on page 3. <br /> Please consider this information for further review and action at the Board of <br /> Trustees meeting.
