Upgradie Environmental donsultants <br /> January 15, 1998 <br /> 00 <br /> /J <br /> Mr. Jim Munch <br /> State Water Quality Control Board <br /> 2014 T Street (rrr(73)PC) <br /> � n <br /> Sacramento, CA 95816 1 i—' V <br /> Subject: Gillies Trucking Site <br /> 2931 Newton Road <br /> Stockton, CA <br /> Claim No. 001129 <br /> Dear Mr. Munch: <br /> Upgradient Environmental submitted a Problem Assessment Report on diese. <br /> contamination at the Gillies Trucking yard in Stockton to San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health in late 1996. PHS approved the PAR and we discussed seven l <br /> options for site remediation with Steve Sasson of PHS/EHD and Mel Jacobo of the fund, <br /> but no formal remedial plan was ever prepared. Since then we have monitored <br /> groundwater depths occasionaly but have been able to sample the groundwater becat se of <br /> unusually high water levels. <br /> In the past few months, PHS/EHD has contacted both Gillies Trucking and <br /> Upgradient Environmental on several occasions, requesting further assessment. As Asir. <br /> Gillies' consultant, we have attempted to present our view to EHD that the site is <br /> adequately assessed and that further UST Fund expense in that direction is not justified. <br /> Before complying with the EHD directive, Mr. Gillies has asked that we contact you to <br /> discuss the possibility of appealing this directive to the Fund. I spoke with Mr. Mike <br /> Mosbacher in mid-December, and after listening to my explanation of the data that we <br /> have gathered, he agreed that it would be wise for us to discuss the situation with you <br /> before proceeding. As I have been unable to reach you by telephone during and since the <br /> Christmas Holidays, and EHD is anxious to resolve the matter, Mr. Gillies has instnicted <br /> me to contact you by mail to request information or instructions on what we would ri:ed <br /> to do to file an appeal. <br /> Should you or a member of your staff need additional information or if you v,ould <br /> like to discuss this case personally, I can be reached at 209-772-3620. <br /> Sin rel,v, <br /> VLX <br /> Victor B.
