Services <br /> 2941 Navy Drive <br /> Stockton, California 95203 <br /> Re: Potential Groundwater Contamination <br /> Dear Mr. .Ellis : <br /> We have been informed that the results of recent <br /> geophysical investigations in the vicinity of Stork Road and <br /> Washington Street indicate that shallow groundwater in that <br /> area may be contaminated by petroleum products or constituents . <br /> While this information is preliminary, it does raise concerns <br /> for our client , the Port of Stockton, both with respect to <br /> the safety of operations at the Port and other legal issues <br /> that could arise under the Porter-Cologne Water Quality <br /> Control Act, the California Hazardous Waste Control Law, the <br /> California Hazardous Substance Account Act , the Clean Water <br /> Act , the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act , the Compre- <br /> hensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability <br /> Act , or other federal , state and local laws , regulations and <br /> ordinances . <br /> In light of the data made available to us , it must <br /> be determined whether -your activities at the Port may have <br /> resulted in a release of petroleum products to groundwater, <br /> and the nature and extent of any such contamination. We <br /> would prefer for this determination to be made with the <br /> cooperative assistance of Port tenants who engage in <br /> petroleum handling activities , and therefore ask that you <br /> provide us copies or descriptions of any information, data , <br /> or reports you may have concerning groundwater quality and <br /> hydrology in the vicinity of the Port or petroleum handling <br /> G <br />
