R5-2007-0725 FOR INTERSTATE BRANDS CORPORATION TEMPLE OF DELIVERANCE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST JASON HUNT TIMOTHY KONG LORRIE GREENE DOLLY MADISON / LANGENDORF BAKERY 1426 S. LINCOLN ST., STOCKTON SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY This Order is issued to Interstate Brands Corporation, Timothy Kong, Temple of Deliverance Church of God in Christ, Jason Hunt, and Lorrie Greene, hereafter referred to as Dischargers, based on provisions of California Water Code section 13304, which authorizes the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region (hereafter Regional Board) to issue a Cleanup and Abatement Order (Order), and Water Code section 13267, which authorizes the Regional Board to require preparation and submittal of technical and monitoring reports. The Executive Officer finds, with respect to the Dischargers' acts or failure to act, the following: PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AND OPERATIONS 1. The Regional Board has the authority under the California Water Code section 13304 to order persons who are responsible for discharges of waste to cleanup the waste and/or abate the effects of the waste. The Regional Board may revise such orders or issue new orders as appropriate. 2. The property at 1426 S. Lincoln St., Stockton, operated as a bakery from at least 1981 through 1991 and the operators stored petroleum hydrocarbons in an underground tank at the property and used the leaded gasoline for their commercial enterprise. Based on a copy of the 1988 Tank Removal Plan and a San Joaquin County Permit to Remove an Underground Storage Tank dated 3 April 1987 for 1426 S. Lincoln St., Stockton, Interstate Brands Corporation (IBC) owned and operated the underground storage tank (UST) system until the July 1988 UST removal. These documents also included evidence of the discharge of petroleum hydrocarbons from the UST that has impacted soil and groundwater in the vicinity of the UST and has not been cleaned up or abated. IBC is subject to this Order because it owned and operated the UST at the time of the discharge of petroleum hydrocarbons and caused or permitted waste to be discharged to waters of the state where it has created a condition of pollution or nuisance, as further described herein.
