LOP Site: Skips Service Station, 300 S. California St.- fieldwork for off <br /> site Monitoring Well#4 (located at 500 Lafayette SO <br /> Carol Oz, REHS-Inspector <br /> 5/3/00 (apprx. 10:00am) During LOP investigation work, Ery Riffenburg(Foothill <br /> Engineering) called me to inform me that Spectrum Drilling Co. had drilled into an <br /> abandoned UST in the process of drilling a bore hole for Monitoring Well#4. I went to <br /> the site and took pictures down into the borehole. I saw what appeared to be the metallic <br /> edge of a UST approximately 5.5 feet below surface grade. I smelled a slight <br /> hydrocarbon odor. Below the metallic edge (top of UST) about 3 feet or so, I observed a <br /> liquid that appeared to be standing water(no sheen observed in the camera flash glean). <br /> I took several photographs of the UST location. Riffenburg called City of Stockton <br /> (COS) Public Works (PW) and COS Fire. COS Fire came out and declared the UST <br /> "safe" (Officer Macedo). I gave Riffenburg a Tank Removal Application and my <br /> business card to forward to COS PW and asked him to tell the COS PW representative to <br /> call me. <br /> I submitted a short term complaint for an abandoned UST (UST address location is 500 <br /> E Lafayette) to the UST Unit 3. The borehole was marked with a cone until COS PW <br /> could evaluate the site and drillers moved the on site MW5 location to drill. <br /> (2:30pm) Jason Ender-COS PW (937-8377) came and inspected UST bore hole <br /> location. Ender said that this UST was not the responsibility of COS. He said that COS <br /> is only responsible for USTs in COS sidewalks where the adjacent property is owned by <br /> COS. He said , historically, in the old days, people would bury the USTs in the <br /> sidewalks and not on their own property; so COS does not want the responsibility for <br /> USTs historically owned by other than COS. I gave Ender a Tank Removal Application. <br /> He said he would give this information to his superiors, discuss UST responsibility issues <br /> with them and call me to let me know the outcome. <br /> The top of the bore hole was plugged with cement by Ery Riffenburg. <br /> 5/4/00 I called Jason Ender to get information about the UST ownership responsibility. <br /> He said there have been no decisions regarding the UST as yet. <br /> See LOP file for 300 S.
