STOCKTON We are in receipt of the documents submitted on your behalf by Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (with their letter dated May 27,2003) in response to the Fund's final request for further documentation letter dated May 5, 2003. However, there are still issues that need to be resolved before we can determine your eligibility for placement on the Priority List. On page two (2) of your claim application, under List All USTs at Subject Site,you have only listed the four USTs that were removed in 1980 and excluded the four USTs "Reportedly filled with sand and abandoned in place in the late 1960's". Please note that claimant is not be eligible for any costs associated with the cleanup of any release which may have occurred from the USTs removed in 1980 because claimant never owned or operated these set of tanks (according to page three (3) of your claim application you acquired the site in November of 1982). You have provided a letter from San Joaquin County dated January 25, 1996, which says, "...there may have been an underground storage tank located on the property." It goes on to say "...results of groundwater sampling on July 31, 1995 and November 8, 1995 from a groundwater monitoring well, located in a City of Stockton easement directly adjacent to your property, suggests that there may have been a release from a former underground storage tank system... which may have contributed to the evidenced groundwater plume". This is not substantial evidence to show USTs exist/existed on your site, that there actually was a release from USTs on your site, or that the release occurred from the USTs that were "Reportedly filled with sand and abandoned in place in the late 1960's". In Advanced Geo Environmental, Inc.'s letter of May 27, 2003, they indicate that you are "requesting cleanup cost coverage for the in-place UST set, which operated fi-om 1932 until 1958 and are closed in place on the site". Additionally in their letter,they indicate "No cleanup order or cleanup up method has been determined at this time." The following information, is still needed to determine if your claim is eligible for placement onto the Priority List: 1. Revise page two of your claim application to include the set of abandoned in place USTs for which you are seeking reimbursement costs. 2. Provide substantial evidence to show when the abandoned in place set of USTs were abandoned. 3. Provide substantial evidence to show that the release occurred from the abandoned in place set of USTs. 4. Provide substantial evidence to show that the abandoned in place USTs are still in the ground. California Eu rrironmeRtal Protection Ar eller_ p�b� Recvc%d Pbper
