David Graham <br /> 5438 Bellini Way <br /> Stockton , CA 95207 r. 0 r <br /> MAY J ��r. <br /> Dear Mr . Graham : <br /> uwIRONENJAI HEALTH <br /> PERMIT{5EnVJ,LS <br /> The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the status of Cal <br /> Post and Pole Incorporated located at 22832 North Highway 99 in <br /> Acampo . <br /> As we have discussed , I conducted an initial inspection of Cal <br /> Post and Pole on February 18 , 1988 . As a result of that <br /> inspection , the Department of Health Services (DHS ) fenced and <br /> posted two portions of the property . I conducted a subsequent <br /> inspection on February 26 , 1988 to take soil samples from the <br /> property . Sample maps and sample results from both inspections <br /> are included for your information. <br /> During our most recent telephone conversation I informed you that <br /> sample results indicate soil contamination has occurred on the <br /> property . This fact must be disclosed to any potential buyers of <br /> the property . You also indicated the property owners were <br /> interested in conducting some clean-up of the site . What follows <br /> are some general guidelines on what would be considered hazardous <br /> waste and suggestions on how it should be handled : <br /> 1 . Drums containing copper sulfate , arsenic acid , <br /> and bags of sodium bichromate : These chemicals <br /> have many legitimate uses and I would encourage <br /> you to pursue finding a buyer who can use them . <br /> If this is not possible , these chemicals will <br /> need to be handled as hazardous waste and either <br /> recycled or disposed of . You may contact the <br /> Department ' s Waste Exchange at (916 ) 324- 1807 <br /> for information on recyclers . In addition , I am <br /> enclosing a copy of the 1987 Waste Exchange ' s <br /> Dir-tctory of Industrial Recyclers . <br /> ,. <br /> 2 . The metal railroad- type tank and the two poly <br /> storage tanks in the pit : The contents of these <br /> tanks are thought to be a mixture of copper <br /> sulfate , arsenic acid , and sodium bichromate . <br /> Unless a buyer can be found who has a legitimate <br /> use for the chemicals , they will need to be <br /> managed as hazardous waste and either recycled <br /> or disposed of . <br /> 3 . The liquid and sludge in both the concrete <br /> pit and the yellow metal tank will need to <br /> be managed as hazardous waste and either <br /> recycled or disposed of . In addition , the <br />
