As with all contaminated sites within our jurisdiction, we strive to work within the <br /> realm of the responsible party's financial resources to maintain progress with the cleanup and <br /> compliance with the laws that govern these cleanups. In some cases, progress is slow due to lack of <br /> funds but...progress is progress. <br /> Ed and Ken Endich are currently in compliance with the laws that govern their currently operating tanks <br /> as well as those associated with their cleanup. They are currently eligible to receive reimbursement <br /> through the State of California Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund Program for all eligible costs <br /> associated with their cleanup. <br /> Therefore, based on the above, it is very unlikely that the cleanup activities at the site will be the <br /> deciding factor in putting these honorable men out of business. This agency respects their lifelong <br /> work, acknowledges their contribution to this community, and will help to preserve their way of life to <br /> the best extent possible. <br /> If you have any questions or wish more information about our program please call Linda Turkatte at <br /> (209) 469-3441. <br /> Donna Heran, REHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health Division <br /> Lindurkatte, Senior REHS Diane iin"son `HS <br /> Site Mitigation Unit Supervisor <br /> LT <br /> c: Donna Heran, Director PHS/EHD <br /> A nivision of San Joaquin Counts Health Care Services <br />
