Weber Ave 3rd Floor <br /> Stockton, Calif. 95202 <br /> Regarding Septic ID# SR0026732: <br /> Dear Mr. Mike Escotto: <br /> This letter is to assure the Environmental Health Division that our project <br /> contractor Mr. Patrick Easter removed the septic tank that had been abandoned at 5273 E. <br /> Lafayette St.. The remnants of that septic tank can still be seen at the adjacent lot to the <br /> East of 5273 E. Lafayette Street. <br /> The project sequence went in this order, we first went to Environmental Health to <br /> check and make sure there was no septic tank at this address because we were going to <br /> F have to demolish the house that was there at the time. Although this property had been <br /> connected to city sewer and the septic tank had been abandoned, the tank was still in the <br /> ground at this site. We took but a permit to demolish the septic tank so that we might <br /> proceed with construction of the new resident. I questioned the project contractor and he <br /> r told me that someone from environmental health came out to inspect the work. The <br /> inspector told our contracted that the work was complete,that the permit was final, and <br /> that the paperwork would follow.Nothing written was provided at the time. I can only <br /> conclude that after talking with Mr. Mike Escotto of your office that the required <br /> paperwork was never-completed. I asked our contractor who the inspector was. He said <br /> he did not remember his name but he could identify him. <br /> As a non-profit housing developer it is my responsibility as Program Director to <br /> ' make sure that all the I,'s are dotted and the T's are crossed. I should have asked about <br /> the procedures for inspections and sign-offs for abandoning and demolishing"septic tanks. <br /> I assure you that in the future I wilt personally take care of these procedures myself. <br /> Again the remnants of the.septic tank that we removed from this site can be seen on the <br /> E adjacent lot. I'm enclosing pictures of the septic tank remnants for your review. <br /> ' Respe tfully yours <br /> L J hnson .T.A. D. Program Director- <br /> G <br /> i I -x <br />
