PUBLIC HALTH S,oPQ�o <br />SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br />Karen Furst, M.D., M.P.H., Health Officer �. P <br />304 East Weber Avenue, Third Floor • Stockton, CA 95202 <br />209/468-3420 <br />FILE COPY <br />August 17, 2000 <br />Mr. Richard Bokides <br />Bokides Family Ltd. Part. <br />6421 Capitol Avenue <br />Lodi, CA 95242 <br />RE: Flag City Chevron, 6421 Capital Ave. <br />The Environmental Health Division received a letter from the Regional Water Control Board (RWQCB) on <br />July 26, 2000 concerning the evidence that a new release was evident in the data received from monitoring <br />wells on the site. Failure to maintain an Underground Tank System so that there are no unauthorized <br />releases is a violation of Health and Safety Code Section 25292.1. This release may jeopardize a public <br />drinking water well in the immediate area. A contact was made with Advanced GeoEnvironmental (AGE) <br />with information on the proper investigation of releases from underground tanks and lines. It was requested <br />that a tracer type test be used which meets the requirement of the State Water Resources Control Board <br />Guidelines (SWRCB). To meet the requirements of the SWRCB all tests must be listed and approved by <br />the board and be listed on LG 113. The helium test in the letter from AGE of August 7, 2000 is not listed <br />in LG 113 and is not approved. A list of approved providers of this type of test was provided to AGE by <br />the EHD. Furthermore, dispenser pans should be installed as soon as possible to prevent any chance of <br />further contamination from this area, which was identified during an inspection by the EHD on February <br />25, 2000. <br />Any change or repairs of an Underground Tank System requires a permit to be taken out from and approval <br />for work given by the EHD. <br />The failure to properly maintain an Underground Tank System and allow known or uninvestigated <br />unauthorized releases to continue is a violation of permitting requirements and could result in further legal <br />action. <br />If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (209) 468-3446. <br />Doug Wilson <br />Supervis�HS <br />cc: Mr. Mike Inform, Senior REHS <br />Mr. Micheal Kith, Senior REHS <br />Mr. Timothy J.
