Notifications

A. Public Participation 30-day Notice
Proposed UST Closure - Site 16124, MCB Camp Pendleton
The Site Mitigation & Cleanup Unit has reviewed the "Final Site Assessment and Closure Report for Former Underground Storage Tank Site 16124, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton" prepared by ERRG dated December 2006. In the report, the consultant recommends no further action at the site of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil as a result of an unauthorized release from the former UST. Site assessment was conducted in the immediate vicinity of the former UST in July 2006 to assess the lateral and vertical extent of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination, and no contamination was found remaining at the site. Based on this information, the unauthorized release case is appropriate for closure. The case files are available for public review by submitting a file review request to the Regional Board office. This public notice fulfills the Regional Board's obligation to inform the public of the proposed actions pursuant to the State and Regional Boards' Public Participation guidance document. Provided no significant issues arise during the public notification period, the Regional Board will issue a no further action letter after May 12, 2007. (Helen Yu)

B. Public Participation 30-day Notice
Proposed Site Closure - Installation Restoration (IR) Site 22, SPAWAR
The Site Mitigation & Cleanup Unit has reviewed the "Final Site Assessment and Closure Report for IR Site 22 Former Fuel Line at the Point Loma Naval Complex SPAWAR." In the report, the consultant recommends no further action at the site of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil as a result of an unauthorized release from the former fuel pipeline. Site assessment was conducted in the immediate vicinity of the former fuel line to assess the lateral and vertical extent of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. The former fuel line was removed, except for a small length located beneath the Navy Seal Hospital where it was cleaned and closed in place. Based on this information, the unauthorized release case is appropriate for closure. The case files are available for public review by submitting a file review request to the Regional Board office.
