SITE CODE; 1406 <br /> 1800 E, Fremont St. Stockton <br /> i <br /> On November 3, 1994 a meeting was conducted at the San Joaquin County Public Health <br /> Services Environmental Division(PHS/EHD)offices regarding the above referenced site. Present <br /> at the meeting were Pat Riddle an attorney representing Peter Ruhkala, Russell Juncal of <br /> RESNA, Karen Collins of Pat Riddles's office and Steven Sasson of PHS/EHD. <br /> The purpose of the meeting was to determine the PHS/EHD requirements to resubmit a closure <br /> request to the RWQCB. I told prix. Riddle that at this time FHS/EHD will treat this site as a Pew <br /> • site because we have uo data since July 7, 1993 and also for purposes of expediting the closure. <br /> Therefore the requirement we will impose on this site is two quarterly samples to determine if <br /> there is any remaining groundwater contamination detected in the one monitoring well. If the <br /> initial sample is non detectable (ND) for Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene (BTEX) <br /> and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as gas (TPH-g)and the confirmatory second quarterly 4ample <br /> is also ND for BTEX and TPH-g we will process the closure documentation and submit the <br /> closure summary to the RWQCB. <br /> Mr. Riddle stated that the site is currently in escrow and he cannot wait 6 months to close, Mr. <br /> Riddle stated that he would call Elizabeth Thayer at the RWQCB to ask her if he really needed <br /> two quarterly samples or if he could sample once and then resubtalf the site for closure. <br /> I informed Mr. Riddle that the site is currently out of compliance with the uarterly reporting <br /> 4 <br /> requirements. I informed Mr. Riddle that the quarterly reporting requirements state that quarterly <br /> reports are to be submitted until the site receives closure. The last quarterly sampling was <br /> conducted on July 7, 1993. I asked him why quarterly reporting was discontinued. He replied <br /> that he did not feel it was necessary to comply with the quarterly reporting requirements because <br /> he thought he was going to receive closure after he submitted the closure report dated July 29, <br /> 4993 to PHS/E.HD. <br /> PHSIEHD would like to state that you were notified in a September 22, 1993 correspondence <br /> from the RWQCB that your closure request was denied and on January 19,1994 correspondence <br /> • from PHSIEHD confirmed the RWQCB position regarding further investigation and stated the <br /> quarterly reporting and monitoring requirements. <br /> A Division of San Joaquin Cnunty Health Care services <br />
