Also, in number..9• of this page you,listed the "In Care of" as Gayle:McKnight (which is already;listed in. • number 14). It appears that number 9 would .be `,.,Complete'Business Services",, according to the letterhead on the response letters we have received (if this is where you want your mail from the Fund sent—see'highlights on the enclosed Address Change form). • Claimants are required to:have current financial,responsibility documents on file with the local regulatory agency. Enclosed is the.financial responsibility information for your. review. Please note that you are not exempt from Financial Responsibility and therefore must revise page 18 of the claim application appropriately (the mechanisms you checked in number 4 are either unacceptable and/or incomplete; refer to enclosed instructions/examples). If all USTs were removed and not replaced by the appropriate compliance deadlines, you would not be subject to financial responsibility; however this does not appear to be the case with this site because the USTs were removed on 4/22/08 and replaced. Please complete and submit the original financial responsibility documents to the local regulatory agency and forward a copy to the Fund. Any questions regarding financial responsibility should be directed to Ginny Lagomarsino at (916) 341-5722. • Provide a copy of the latest UST "operating permit" issued by the local regulatory agency prior to the UST "removal permit";dated 4/18/08) (it should be dated after.

You have provided the following: 1. an Upgrade Certification-(No. 00869) dated 2/12/02; 2. a permit (#015-000-001856) with no issue date & with an expiration date of 6/30/03; 3. a permit dated 4/22/08 (no.
