R5-2003-0713 (ORDER), FRANK'S ONE STOP, 20-72 WEST YOSEMITE AVENUE, <br /> MANTECA, SANJOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> I reviewed your letter dated 3 February 2005 and the copy of Page 3 from your lease agreement with <br /> Mr. Kim(submitted by facsimile on 25 April 2005, copies attached) requesting that we issue a"Closure <br /> Letter" for your property at 2072 West Yosemite Avenue, Manteca. As we have discussed previously, <br /> underground storage tanks at your facility released gasoline to the environment. This contamination <br /> migrated off-site and impacted over a dozen domestic drinking water wells. The extent of the <br /> contamination is currently undefined and many of the wells remain contaminated. We tried to <br /> accommodate your previous requests on this matter in our letter of 1 September 2004 (copy attached). <br /> You have stated in meetings and phone conversations that this letter does not meet your needs because it <br /> does not state that the site is"closed". As we've explained many times a"Closure Letter"relieves you <br /> of all further responsibility for the release. Because you have not completed the necessary off-site <br /> investigation and remediation it would be inappropriate for the Regional Board to issue a No Further <br /> Action Required Letter (Closure Letter) at this time. <br /> Additionally, you continue to violate the directives in Cleanup and Abatement Order No. R5-2003-0713. <br /> Failure to comply with this order subjects you to civil liabilities (fines) for each day of violation. <br /> If you have any questions please contact Mr. James Barton at 916-464-4615. <br /> Brian Newman <br /> UST Program Coordinator <br /> Supervisory Water Resources Control Engineer <br /> cc w/enc: Ms. Margaret Lagorio, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, <br /> 304 East Webber Avenue, Third Floor, Stockton, CA 95202 <br /> Mr. Robert Kitay, Aqua Science Engineers, Inc., 208 West El Pintado, Danville, CA 94526 <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> rG Recycled Paper <br />
