Center St. Stockton, CA 95206 PROGRAM COORDINATORS Mike Huggins, REHS, RDI Margaret Lagorio, REHS Robert McClellon, REHS Jeff Carruesco, REHS, RDI Kasey Foley, REHS 1,Z5 Mr. Fernando Hatcher 1201 S Center St Stockton, CA 95206 RO#: 0233 APN:14716003 SW RCB-CUF#: 012186 The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has reviewed your Request for Temporary Suspension — Quarterly Ground Water Monitoring (request) dated February 2, 2009, submitted by your consultant, Advanced GeoEnvironmental Inc. and provides the following comments. The request is to suspend all groundwater monitoring for all the site wells until you receive your most recent reimbursement request from the State Water Resources Control Board Cleanup Fund (CUF). The EHD is aware of the current economic situation with the CUF and the difficulties it imposes for responsible parties continuing to investigate their sites but cannot approve of suspending all ground water monitoring activities at this site until you receive reimbursement from the CUF. The request did state that a quart erly status report in letter form for field work conducted at the site would be submitted. The California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Section 2652 requires owners of contaminated underground storage tank sites to report quarterly on the status of their site to the lead regulatory agency overseeing the investigation. The report must include an update on specific information and results of all corrective action (investigation) which has occurred during the period. An item that must be discussed in each quarterly report is future investigative actions and a time schedule for implementing the actions. The quarterly status report proposed does not meet that requirement. You may prepare the quarterly report yourself unless geologic or engineering interpretation is included which would require that it be prepared by an appropriately registered professional, but it must contain future investigative actions and a proposed date for their implementation. The date cannot be contingent on reimbursement from the CUF. In order to reduce your corrective action costs, the EHD can approve a reduction in the monitoring wells (MW) to be sampled each quarter and the constituents to be analyzed. For instance, MW -2A, MW -6A, MW -7A -D, MW -8A -D, and MW9-A-D could be reduced to annual sampling and analysis for EDB, MTBE, DIPE, TBA, and ETBE may be omitted.
