In the letter, the Environmental Health Division(EHD) requested that a <br /> Remediation Plan for Methane Gas Releases be submitted along with a history of recent work <br /> performed on the gas control system. Also, on the inspection report dated June 26, 2000, <br /> performed by Rodney Estrada, a violation was recorded for Section 21160 of Title 27, California <br /> Code of Regulations.
