Washington, Stockton, CA, Port of Stockton <br /> Tank removal and cleanup <br /> On or about January 30, 1989, Jim Thorpe Oil , Inc. tried to remove one (1) <br /> 10,000 gallon underground heating oil tank on the grounds of the Port of Stockton <br /> at the above location. We encountered a problem removing the tank because of the odd <br /> shape and no lifting eyes were on the tank. A San Joaquin Local Health District re- <br /> presentative was on site at that time. When we disturbed the tank, an area approx- <br /> imately 6 inches square flaked off/out of the bottom of the tank and allowed a small <br /> amount of residual heavy heating oil to leak into the excavation at the north end. <br /> The oil was a very heavy and viscous residue and did not spread over a wide area; We <br /> had to get a different piece of equipment to lift the tank out of the hole, so it was <br /> decided by the San Joaquin Local Health District representative and us to take samples <br /> the next morning. When the tank was removed later that day, we were able to clean up <br /> the spill and placed the sand/oil mixture on plastic and covered it with same on the <br /> job site. <br /> Samples were taken from the excavation the next morning, January 31 , 1989, and <br /> the results (Sample ID nos. Tank #1 North and Tank #1 South) showed "Nondetectable" <br /> from the soil samples taken from both ends of the tank excavation. The Health District <br /> has a copy of the soil sample analysis on file. <br /> A resample of the product line excavation is being required/requested at this time <br /> and we intend to remove all contaminated soil from the site at one time. <br /> If any more information is required, please call our office. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> JIM THORPE OIL, INC. <br /> ichard Thorpe <br /> President <br /> RT/tkt <br />
