The former <br /> underground storage tank(s) (UST) cannot be recommended for final closure : <br /> without further investigation to determine the full extent of the soil and/or <br /> groundwater problem. 1 <br /> PHS/EHD is providing you notification that an "Underground Storage Tank <br /> Unauthorized Release (Leak)/Contaminated Site Report" has been filed pursuant <br /> to Section 25295 of the Health and Safety Code (HSC) . The appropriate <br /> disclosure of a hazardous waste discharge pursuant to Section 25180.7 of the <br /> Health and Safety Code has been made, and the site has been placed on the list <br /> of contaminated sites in. San.Joaquin County which is maintained by PHS/EHD. <br /> PHS/EHD has been designated by�the State -of California water Resources Control <br /> Board (SWRCB) as the local agency overseeing the investigation of leaking <br /> USTs. Pursuant to Section 25299.37 (HSC) , "dischargers" roust take corrective <br /> action in response to the unauthorized release. <br /> Please be advised that PHS/EBD will, be utilizing the SWRCB "Prioritization <br /> System for Leaking Underground,:Storage Tank Sites" ranking list in order to <br /> prioritize all the contaminated sites. The "Prioritization System" has: <br /> established criteria to distinguish between High Priority Sites, Moderate <br /> Priority Sites, and Low Priority Sites. Site specific conditions which <br /> influence the placement withi,n�,the ranking system are, for example, depth to <br /> groundwater, proximity to a drinking water source (municipal or domestic <br /> well) , the extent of soil contamination, and. the site's clean up funding <br /> availability. <br /> Based upon the priority ranking, you will be directed to begin the required <br /> investigation.

It has been <br /> our experience that open tank excavations allow for rapid downward migration <br /> of contaminants. , Contact the'appropriate building department for specific <br /> requirements that may be necessary prior to filling with pea gravel and/or <br /> compacting the tank excavation with clean fill soil. <br /> Before receiving a PHS/EHD corrective action directive and in order to receive <br /> A Division of San jouquin Cnunly Heulth Care Services <br />
