Hartmann, Eaq. <br /> Attorney at Law <br /> Ieldman, Waldman & Kline <br /> 146 West Weber Street <br /> Stockton CA 95202 <br /> PEAL OF ru ASSESSM LT q�KTO�J.. i AT tLG <br /> This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of May 17 , 1991, <br /> which constitutes a formal appeal of the fires imposed upon <br /> Stockton Plating for pretreatment violations- <br /> 1 have reviewed the material included in your letter, and the <br /> results of the meeting at our offices to discuss these <br /> Violations. During the May 16, 1991 meeting, Stocicten Plating <br /> e'taff stated that,the aluminum tank in queotion was drained into <br /> the final pH neutralization tank, and not directly into the <br /> sanitary sewer discharge point. The hose had been left in the <br /> sanitary sewer discharge point after pumping. <br /> Although the pH was treated in this tank, no metals removal <br /> takes place here. Therefore, thin action constitutes dilution <br /> and is clearly in violation of 40 CFR Part 4C.3 . 6, a copy of <br /> which is enclosed for your reference. <br /> Dilution is a serious violation of both the Federal pretreatment <br /> etandards and the city' s Municipal Code . Ignorance of the <br /> Federal standards and the City' e Code does not excuse your <br /> client from reapona9bility for this action. Therefore, and in <br /> consideration that the violation was unintentional and did not <br /> result from willful disregard of the taw, Stoc}tton Plating will <br /> be fined $500.00 for each violation of a tAunicipal Code metal <br /> limit, as follows: <br /> Section 7-069. 14 - exteec1in9 total mrt.al limit 5500.00 <br /> Section 7-089. 14 - exceeding the nickel limit $500. 00 <br /> Section 7-089. 14 - exceeding the zinc limit $500.00 <br /> Section 7-089. 14 - oxceedi.ng 1:116 4,nPt1e7` "FtTotal ; $2,000100 <br /> MAR-31-1993 16:03 209 4644010 P. 1B <br />
