MEMO Date: February 28, 1997 To: Margaret From: Steve'., I would like to try to get EAR funds for Buffalo Tanks 5709 E Fremont and Countryside Market 10848 E Copperopolis. I have reviewed SB 562, the RWQCB notice of reimbursement responsibility, and the EAR Chapter 19 procedure which is located in the 75 E Alpine file. I believe that a non-emergency status is a viable option to obtain closure for these sites. SB 562 Section 25299.53 a) If an owner is not taking corrective action the local agency shall submit the estimated cost of the corrective action to the board. b) If the board approves the request the local agency may pay for the costs of corrective action performed by qualified contractor. c) The board shall not make any payment unless the board determined that the responsible party has failed to comply with a final order for corrective action issued pursuant to section 25299.37 d) Upon making any payment to a local agency the board shall recover the amount of payment pursuant to section 29299.55 RWQCB Notice of Reimbursement Responsibility Once EAR Account funds are expended, owners and operators lose their eligibility to participate in the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund Program Emergency Abandoned and Recalcitrant sites Water Quality Chapter 19 Contact UST Cleanup Fund Program Diane Edwards Voice 916 227 4383 Fax 916 227 4530 Regional Water Boards upon request from SWRCB notifies LIAs to nominate sites for inclusion on the regional annual list of abandoned and recalcitrant sites for EAR Account funding.
