Box 1257 San Ramon, CA 94583 Subject: ARCO Station NO. 5489 130 South Wilson Way Stockton, CA 95205 The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has received a No Further Action Required Concurrence letter from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) dated November 18 2011, for the above subject site. It is now necessary to plan the destruction of all wells installed as part of your site investigation and remedial action, as the EHD will not issue a Case Closure Letter for this site until the wells have been properly destroyed and all onsite waste material have been removed and properly disposed of. The wells are to be destroyed within 90 days of the date of this letter.

Following that, a hole at least one foot larger in diameter than the originally drilled borehole shall be excavated around the outside of the well casing to a depth of 3 feet below the ground surface, and the well casing shall then
