DEPARTMENTS OF THE ARMY AND THE AIR FORCE <br />JOINT FORCE HEADQUARTERS <br />OFFICE OF THE ADJUTANT GENERAL, CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD <br />9800 GOETHE ROAD - P.O. BOX 269101 <br />SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95826-9101 <br />Environmental Programs Directorate July 23, 2010 RECJE�VED <br />Ms. Kasey Foley <br />San Joaquin County <br />Environmental Health Department <br />600 East Main Street <br />Stockton, CA 95202-3029 <br />SUBJECT: Response to Notice to Comply <br />Dear Ms. Foley: <br />JUL Z 7 -ulo <br />ENVIRO"EN1 HEALTIj <br />PERMIT/SERVICES <br />The California Army National Guard (CAARNG) Combined Support Maintenance Shop (CSMS) <br />located at 8020 S. Airport Way in Stockton, CA was inspected by your department on June 29, 2010 <br />(enclosure). During the inspection the facility was cited for failing to comply with new hazardous waste <br />tank system assessment requirements. <br />The CAARNG takes their role as environmental stewards very seriously. However, despite our <br />best efforts we will not be able to complete the required hazardous waste tank system assessments on our <br />two hazardous waste tanks by the return to compliance deadline of July 29, 2010. The level of cost for <br />the hazardous waste tank system assessments requires that the project go through our contracting process. <br />This process has already commenced, however, awarding the project to a certified contractor and <br />execution of the contract will require additional time. The CAARNG will need until October 29, 2010 to <br />complete the contracting process and the hazardous waste tank system assessments. <br />Without the additional time required to complete the contracting process the Stockton CSMS' <br />only other option is to close out the tanks and start drumming their waste in 55 -gallon containers. Doing <br />so will alter their facility operations and make them more susceptible to spills due to managing the <br />additional containers. <br />The CAARNG is requesting that you accept our anticipated timeline to complete the contracting <br />process and the hazardous waste tank system assessments as reasonable for a return to compliance <br />schedule. <br />Sincerely, <br />TIMOTHY J. KELLEY <br />Lieutenant Colonel, US Air Force (Retired) <br />Director, Environmental Program <br />Enclosure California Military Department <br />
