A rail line owned by Burlington Northern <br /> Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) lies immediately to the south of the former UST. <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division (PHS/EHD) has reviewed <br /> and approved Workplan for Additional Subsurface Investigation dated June 28, 1999 prepared by ATC. <br /> The work plan proposes sampling soil/groundwater using a GeoProbe both on site and off site. In a <br /> telephone conversation with ATC staff on August 18, 1999, it was discussed that neither you nor ATC <br /> had been able to contact the appropriate authority of BNSF, and therefore had been unable to obtain <br /> the necessary written permission to do the proposed work on their property. <br /> PHS/EHD recommends requesting permission to perform the work in a letter addressed to the BNSF <br /> corporate office. Pursuant to Chapter 6.7 of the Health and Safety Code, and Title 23, Division 3, <br /> Chapter 16, Section 2724 of the California Code of Regulations: The responsible party shall conduct <br /> investigations of the unauthorized release, the release site,and the surrounding area possibly affected by the <br /> unauthorized release. In addition,according to Appendix B of the Tri-Regional Recommendations for <br /> closure of UST sites, the lateral extent of soil and ground water contamination must be defined both on- <br /> site and off-site. Therefore, it is most crucial that the area south of the UST be investigated for the <br /> horizontal extent of the contamination. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact Jeffrey Wong at (209) 468-0335. <br /> Donna Heran,REHS,Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> Jeffrey Wong, REHS Margaret Lagorio,REHS <br /> LOP/Site Mitigation Unit N Supervisor <br /> C: RWQCB, Central Valley Region-Mark List <br /> c: ATC Associates, Inc. -Drew Van Allen <br /> c: 720 South B Street,Stockton, CA 95205 -Burlington Southern Santa Fe Railway <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
