SU~JECf: Noncompfiance witi~ Enhanced Leak Dztect~on (ELD) Testing
This important notice of noncompliance is sent by your local Certified Unified Program Agency
(CUPA), (copied on this letter), and the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board),
Underground Storage Tank (UST) Program.
Our records show that the State Water Board notified you of the requirement to conduct ELD testing at
your UST facility due to the proximity of public drinking water wells (within 1000 feet). (See Cal. Health
Saf. Code Sections 25292.4 and 25292.5.) If you have single-walled tanks, you were notified in 2001 or
in 2002, and if you have double-walled tanks, you were notified in 2003. Testing deadlines specified in
all notifications have passed.
Our records further show that you have not provided testing results, nor did the UST Program
Manager determine, based on submittal of a Request for Reconsideration, that your UST is exempt
from ELD testing requirements. This request was due within 60 days of your notification. You are,
therefore, out of compliance with this testing requirement. -
You must take steps to bring your facility into compliance. The CUPA in your jurisdiction is the enforcing
agency for this requirement and your past and continued failure to comply could lead to administrative or
other formal enforcement measures.
If you meet certain criteria, you may be eligible for the RUST Grant and Loan Program to help you pay for
testing. (See enclosure.) This program is administered~through the State Water Board's Division of
Financial Assistance. Contact Kelly Valine at (916) 327-6976 to see if you qualify.
If yc~~ ha~ie conducted the ELD testing,.ssnd the.results to_this office and to y_our_IocaLCUPA agency
immediately. If you possess information that demonstrates that the UST system in question is not subject
to the ELD testing requirement, please submit such information to this office immediately for review.
Otherwise, make an appointment today to conduct this important test. A list of qualified testers can be
found in LG161-3 located at website: http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/ust/leak prevention/lgs/index.htm .
