Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, California Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilson: It has come to the attention of the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department that you own at least one underground storage tank which is currently not permitted through this department. Current law requires that all owners of existing underground storage tanks apply for a permit to operate their facilities, unless they meet exemptions provided in Chapter 6.7 of California's Health and Safety Code. The exemptions provided in law are listed .below: 1. A tank with a capacity of 1,100 gallons or less which is located on a farm and which stores motor vehicle fuel used primarily for agricultural purposes and not for resale. 2. A tank which is located on a farm or at-the residence of a person which has a capacity of 1,100 gallons or less and which stores home heating oil for consumptive use on the premises where stored. 3. Structures such as sumps, separators, storm drains, catch basins, oil field gathering lines, refinery pipelines, lagoons, evaporation ponds, well cellars, separation sumps, lined and unlined pits, sumps, and lagoons. 4. Tanks not substantially underground. 5. Tanks storing substances not designated as "hazardous"; the following liquid and solid substances are considered "hazardous substances": -- those defined as such in Section 25316 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California Victor Leasing Company September 12, 1990 Page 2 -- any regulated substance, as defined in Subsection (2) of Section 6991 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as that section reads on January 1, 1989, or as it may subsequently be amended or supplemented. OWNERS OF THE FACILITIES NOT DESCRIBED AS EXEMPT ARE CURRENTLY VIOLAIING THE LAW AND MUST OBTAIN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PERMITS IN ORDER TO BRING THE FACILITY INTO COMPLIANCE: -- A permit for operation -- A permit for tank removal The owner must submit a completed application to the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department before the permit will be issued. To assist you with compliance, the Department has included applications and instructions for the proper completion of each application within this packet. Completed forms must be returned within 14 days. The application for the permit for permanent closure of your tanks is to be' submitted IN LIEU OF the application for the permit to operate. Failure to obtain a permit may result in fines of five hundred dollars {$500} to five thousand dollars {$5,000) per day per Division 8, Section 8.48.480, of the Kern County Ordinance Code. If you have any questions, please feel free to call Jane Warren or Amy E. Green at (805) 861-3636.
