PUBLIC hfALTH SERVIMES <br /> SAN JOAQtiIN COUNTY r <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIVISION <br /> Karen Furst, M.D., M.P.H., Health Officer <br /> 304 East Weber Avenue, Third Floor • Stockton, CA 95202 oRa <br /> 209/468-3420 <br /> ILE CD <br /> JAY MCILRATH FEB 2 4 1999 <br /> P O BOX 326 <br /> STOCKTON CA 95201 <br /> RE: JAMAR Service SITE CODE: 1667 <br /> 4075 E. Main Street <br /> Stockton, CA <br /> San Joaquin County Public Health Services, Environmental Health Division <br /> (PHS/EHD) has reviewed your letter to San Joaquin County Supervisor Dario <br /> Marenco. <br /> Three underground storage tanks were removed from the above referenced <br /> property on December 9, 1998. The removal work generated about 200 cubic <br /> yards of soil that was placed in piles on the site and sampled. The analytical <br /> results from the stockpiled soil samples indicate that the soil is contaminated with <br /> benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene, total petroleum hydrocarbons as <br /> gasoline, and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). At that time, in telephone <br /> conversations with the PHS/EHD underground storage tank unit staff, you were <br /> informed that the contaminated soil should be treated on site or transported to an <br /> approved disposal facility. <br /> On January 21, 1999, copies of the soil analytical results were provided to the <br /> PHS/EHD site mitigation unit. The results were reviewed and it was reiterated <br /> that the soil was contaminated and should be treated on site or transported to an <br /> approved disposal facility. However, you indicated your desire to perform the soil <br /> aeration at your facility on Navy Drive. The Central Valley Regional Water <br /> Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) has informed the PHS/EHD that a permit <br /> must be obtained from their office in order to treat contaminated soil at a location <br /> other than the site where the contaminated soil was generated. This permit is <br /> required pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 23, Division 3, Chapter <br /> 15 (Discharges of Waste to Land). The permit requirement for treatment of <br /> contaminated soil at the location where it was generated is exempted by Section <br /> 2511(d) of Chapter 15. Because the fish bioassay results indicate that the soil is <br /> not a hazardous waste, it can be transported as contaminated and would not <br /> require a hazardous waste manifest. <br /> It should be noted that the depth to first groundwater in the area of 4075 Main <br /> Street is about 50 feet below surface grade (bsg) and depth to first groundwater <br /> in the area of Navy Drive is about 5 feet bsg. Therefore, the risk of the <br /> contaminants leaching to groundwater is much greater at Navy Drive location <br /> A Division of San ;oaouin Countv =ealth Care>er'ices <br />
