The groundwater remediation facility was shut down at the time of inspection. Electrical power had been disconnected. The building was locked. According Division of Water Resources (DWR) records, the facility has not operated since 2005. 3. According to the Underground Storage Tanks (UST) Section, groundwater incident number 4006 is not closed out. Mark Powers, Supervisor of the UST section, stated that the current groundwater remediation system on site could be removed however, the monitoring wells must remain intact.
