Transportation Court <br /> French Camp, CA <br /> In September 2004, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) staff <br /> made an inspection at the above referenced facility. At the time of the inspection EHD <br /> staff observed a french drain installed to dispose of condensate from an ice machine <br /> and/or other untreated fluids to the subsurface. Since ground water is a source of <br /> drinking water, subsurface waste disposal is regulated under the United States Safe <br /> Drinking Water Act. <br /> EHD has implemented a Local Agency Groundwater Protection/Underground Injection <br /> Control (UIC) Program in accordance with guidelines prepared by the United States <br /> Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The primary focus of the program is to <br /> protect drinking water by identification and evaluation of subsurface disposal of waste <br /> fluids that may lead to the degradation of drinking water supplies. <br /> The above described drain is a shallow injection well so your facility has been placed on <br /> the EHD list of UIC sites. Please provide EHD with a description of the construction of <br /> this well and any other disposal wells at your facility and the fluids being disposed. <br /> Under certain conditions, sumps, septic tanks and drainfields may also be considered <br /> shallow injection wells, so please include a description of your septic system, the fluids <br /> placed in it and the number of people it serves per day. Following review of the <br /> information submitted, EHD may request modifications to wastewater disposal activities <br /> at your site. <br /> Enclosed is an "Inventory of Injection Wells"form to be completed and submitted to <br /> USEPA in San Francisco (address on page 2 of form). Please note that if your septic <br /> system is used for the disposal of solely sanitary waste and serves fewer than 20 <br /> persons per day it is not subject to being placed on inventory. Please submit a copy of <br /> the form to EHD with the information requested above. <br /> If you have any questions contact me at (209) 468-3449. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Department <br /> Margaret <br /> Supervising <br /> Unit IV <br /> Enc. <br />
