UNOCAL Corporation(petitioner)filed a petition pursuant to this <br /> provision for review of the decision of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health <br /> Division(County)not to close this case. <br /> Petitioner contends that its case should be closed because the concentrations of <br /> petroleum hydrocarbons zit its site do not pose a threat to human Health and safety,or <br /> the environment. <br /> The Fund manager has reviewed petitioner's case and has concluded that petitioner's <br /> contention has merit. Accordingly,the proposed order finds that the detectable <br /> concentrations of residual petroleum at petitioner's site do not pose a threat to human <br /> health and safety,or the environment,and do not affect,or threaten to affect,current or <br /> probable future beneficial uses of water.
