STATE OF CALIFORNIA Pete Wilson, Governor <br />CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD <br />8800 Cal Center Drive <br />Sacramento, California 95826 <br />m� <br />November 23, 1992 RECEIVED <br />NOV 3 a 1992 <br />Mr. Fred Kaufman, Program Manager1M <br />Environmental Health Division ITI ��_�11EALTH <br />San Joaquin County Public Health Services <br />P.O. Box 2009 <br />Stockton, CA 95201 <br />Subject: Response to Your Letter Dated October 30, 1992, <br />Regarding French Camp Landfill, San Joaquin County, <br />Facility No. 39-AA-0002 <br />Dear Mr. Kaufman: <br />In response to your letter dated October 30, 1992, the following <br />is intended to clarify the role of California Integrated Waste <br />Management Board (Board) staff from the Closure and Remediation <br />Branch. We regret that there has been some misunderstanding <br />regarding the protocol of recent communication with the owner or <br />operator (City of Stockton Department of Public Works) of the <br />French Camp Landfill and hope to preserve a good working <br />relationship with the Environmental Health Division as Local <br />Enforcement Agency (LEA). <br />The Closure and Remediation Branch represents the Board in direct <br />communication with the owner or operator regarding closure and <br />postclosure maintenance plans, in accordance with Section 18271 <br />of Title 14, California Code of Regulations (14 CCR). In that <br />role, Closure and Remediation Branch staff review compliance of <br />closure and postclosure maintenance plans with 14 CCR, Chapter 3, <br />Article 7.8 and coordinate resolution of conflicts between <br />approving agencies. <br />Closure and Remediation Branch staff may also directly <br />communicate with the owner or operator of a solid waste landfill <br />under the corrective action authority of Public Resources Code <br />Section 45401(a). In that role, the Board may, either upon <br />request from the LEA or at it's own initiative after notification <br />of the enforcement agency, require the owner or operator of a <br />solid waste landfill to perform corrective actions or submit <br />closure and postclosure maintenance plans. <br />The intent of the communication with the City of Stockton <br />Department of Public Works was to present several site specific <br />technical issues for resolution at an early stage to avoid <br />potentially more difficult conflict with future closure. We <br />concur that the proper protocol for that type of communication is <br />to transmit the comments to the Environmental Health Division as <br />LEA for direct follow-up and coordination with Board staff. <br />-- Printed on Recycled Paper -- <br />
