Advanced <br /> GeoEnvironmental , Inc . -o=- <br /> 02 February 2009 <br /> CAVA <br /> AGE-NC Project No. 00-0769y <br /> Ms. Margaret Lagorio <br /> Mr. Mike Infurna <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> 600 East Main Street <br /> Stockton, CA 95202 <br /> Subject: Request For Temporary Suspension - Quarterly Ground Water Monitoring <br /> FERNANDO' S PLACE <br /> 1201 South Center Street, Stockton, California <br /> Dear Ms. Margaret Lagorio : <br /> On behalf of Mr. Roger Huckins Jr., former owner of the above referenced property, Advanced <br /> GeoEnviromnemal, Inc. (AGE) has prepared this letter to request a suspension of quarterly ground <br /> water monitoring (wells MW-1 through MW-9) at 1201 South Center Street, Stockton, California <br /> (site) . A quarterly status report in letter form for field work conducted at the site will be submitted. <br /> As you are aware, costs associated with the cleanup effort at the site were reimbursed by the <br /> California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) under the Underground Storage Tank <br /> (UST) Cleanup Fund. However, Mr. Roger Huckins Jr. was recently notified by the UST Cleanup <br /> Fund that future reimbursements by the State would be delayed as much as 18 months. <br /> Due to the costs of remediation activities (energy and equipment costs) and monitoring activities <br /> at the site Mr. Huckins Jr. has accrued over $46,000 of monitoring expenses that have not been <br /> reimbursed by the UST Cleanup Fund. Additional costs for monitoring and remediation beyond the <br /> $46,000, have not been submitted to the SWRCB and cannot be properly submitted until the <br /> SWRCB without the pending reimbursement being finalized. The accrued costs for the quarterly <br /> ground water monitoring have caused a great financial hardship on Mr. Roger Huckins Jr., he no <br /> longer owns the site and has no capitol from the site. Furthermore, based on the current conditions <br /> at the state, it is unlikely that Mr. Huckins Jr. will receive any type of reimbursement from the UST <br /> Cleanup Fund before late 2009. <br /> Mr. Huckins Jr. does not have the financial capabilities to continue quarterly ground water <br /> monitoring activities at the site until he can receive reimbursement from the UST Cleanup Fund (i.e. <br /> $ 46,000 or more). Therefore, AGE is requesting a suspension of quarterly ground water monitoring <br /> activities at the site until the most recent reimbursement request is received by Mr. Huckins Jr. , <br /> effective 01 February 2009 . <br /> 837 Shaw Road, Stockton, California 95215 <br /> Telephone (209) 467- 1006 Fax (209) 467- 1118 <br />
