Former Alliance Service Station Now owned by Kambiz Kafai

1. Site Name and Address:

Former Alliance Service Station, now called North Gate Gas, 720 S. Main St., Sebastopol, CA 95472, Sonoma County

2. Name and address of all identified potential responsible parties:

Kambiz Kafai, address unknown

Royal Petroleum, 365 Todd Rd., Santa Rosa, CA 95407

3. Copy of the final corrective action order or clean-up and abatement order for each site:

The site is the location of the former Alliance Service Station that was owned by Royal Petroleum. Royal Petroleum has conducted soil and groundwater investigations and has operated an air sparging system/soil vapor extraction system to clean up the site. Royal Petroleum sold the station to Mr. Kambiz Kafai in approximately 2002. Mr. Kafai operated the station, and then moved out of the area. For several months, the station was operating with no supervision. Regional Water Board (RWB) staff letter of August 15, 2012 requests an update on the site cleanup status and groundwater monitoring to Royal Petroleum.

E-mail letter sent by Healdsburg Fire Department staff to Mr. Kafai requiring temporary closure activities shall be complete by January 15, 2012. No later than January 15, 2013, permanent closure of the UST’s through a permit is required. Mr. Kafai has indicated that he is financially unable to comply with closure of the USTs.

4. Name and Address of oversight agency including the regulatory contact person’s name address, telephone number, and e-mail address:

Jan Goebel Regional Water Board North Coast Region 5550 Skylane Blvd., Suite A Santa Rosa, CA 95403 (707) 576-2676

5. Description of the unauthorized release, petroleum releases, water body affected or threatened, water quality, and the threat to human health, safety, and the environment:

A release to soil and groundwater has been documented during the ownership and operation of the site by Royal Petroleum. The documents for this release are in the file called the Alliance Service Station. The site was sold to Mr. Kafai in 2002. In October 2002, RWB staff letter indicated a new release from the system was possible due to

-2-

increase in contaminant concentrations. A soil gas survey conducted detected free product in one soil gas location near the piping system. The facility, currently owned and previously operated by Mr. Kafai, failed numerous SB989 testing and retesting. Mr. Kafai was written two notices of violations for failure to fix a diesel secondary piping. These violations were partially due to a suspect tank tester. However, the diesel tank was later Red Tagged on August 31, 2010 for failure to fix the diesel secondary piping leak. The Red Tag was removed October 1, 2010 after repairs were made and retested. Other violations included no financial responsibility, other faulty equipment violations, and a complaint from an anonymous tipster regarding no oversight of the station by the owner. The station had been operating with no owner oversight for eight months prior to the station being shut down. The USTs have failed the precision tank testing several times, and repaired until the next tank test where again they have failed. In addition to the issues mentioned above, the USTs are over 30 years old, and the weight of backfill on a tank that has been empty and is this old may cause the tank to flex and can compromise the USTs. Soil and groundwater contamination is currently being found underneath the existing USTs. The existing groundwater monitoring wells near the dispersers are dry and no groundwater data can be obtained to evaluate former releases of the piping system. The City of Sebastopol’s Municipal Well No. 4 is located 250 feet west of the service station. The contaminant 1,2-Dichloroethane from the Royal Petroleum release was detected in City Well No. 4 sporadically for several years.

6. Documentation of why recalcitrant or abandoned funds are being requested for the site:

The current owner walked away from the site. The Healdsburg Fire Department had to find Mr. Kafai in southern California to ask him to complete a temporary closure permit and complete temporary closure on the tanks. He did comply with this by hiring a company to complete the required temporary closure (removal of fuel). The CUPA gave him until January 15, 2013 to complete the closure process. Nothing has been conducted to complete the closure process. Mr. Kafai had changed his phone number, and the Healdsburg Fire Department was able to locate him again in southern California. Mr. Kafai said he is unable to comply with the closure requirements and does not have the money to pull the tanks and piping.

7. Description of why the responsible party cannot or will not cleanup the contamination or abate its effects:

Mr. Kafai has indicated that he is financially unable to pay for closure of the USTs.

-3-

8. Documentation of any disputes between the regulatory agency and responsible party:

There are no disputes 9. Any actions which have been previously taken to cleanup or abate the effects of

the unauthorized release:

Numerous remedial actions have been taken for the first release at the station by the previous owner, Royal Petroleum. Free product removal, soil vapor extraction and air sparging have been conducted at the site. Just recently, the soil vapor extraction and air sparging system have been turned on again to further remediate soil and groundwater contamination.

10. A description of the proposed cleanup or abatement:

Removal of three 8,000 gallon UST’s and associated product, vent and vapor piping will be required.

11. The amount of annual funding requested and an estimate total required funding for each nominated site:

The amount of money to remove the USTs and conduct some limited overexcavation for the first year is estimated at $100,000. It is anticipated that an additional $300,000 could be needed to conduct additional excavation or remediation.

12. Description of the results if funding should be denied:

If funding is not secured, these abandoned tanks are a threat to the City of Sebastopol drinking water well if not already impacting is as seen in previous years. This is a direct threat to human health. The existing groundwater plume may continue to migrate to other areas. The site will remain a non-compliant open case.

Hi Kambiz:

ikafai@aU.netRE: Temporary Tank ClosureAPPLICATION TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE.doc

There are specific requirements to temporarily close a tank. This will give you time until there is abuyer. Remember this is your responsibility and I should not be hunting you down. The State takesUST systems seriously and requires the CUPA to do enforcement if an owner abandons the tanks.Attached is the Temporary Closure Permit Application and the fee is $436. You have until December30, 2011 to get the application and fee back to the Healdsburg Fire Department (the address isbelow). At that time I will write a permit with the following conditions. The dates may vary slightly.You will have to hire a company to remove residual fuel and sludge from the tank. Randy cannot dothis. Call me if you have any questions.

Conditions:

1. All residual liquids, solids, and sludge shall be removed and the tank cleaned and inerted toremove the presence of any substance that could produce flammable vapors at standard temperatureand pressure. All product shall be removed from the tanks no later than January 10, 2012 and allwastes shall be handled in accordance with Chapters 6.5 & 6.7, Division 20 of the Health & SafetyCode.

2. Except for required venting, all fill and access locations (ie. pipe, conduit, pumps, etc.) shall bedisconnected and sealed using locking caps or concrete plugs.

3. Temporary closure activities shall be complete by no later than January 15,2012. Aninspectionfrom this agency shall be required prior to permit final.

4. No later than January 15, 2013, permanent closure through a permit from this agency shallbeperformed for all tanks covered under this permit.

5. Any release of product shall be reported to the fire department immediately.

California Water Code Section 13267 OrderAlliance Service Station 720 South Main Street, Sebastopol, Case NO.1 TS0016

My staffhas reviewed the file record and material submitted over the last several months on theAlliance Service Station located at 720 South Main Street in Sebastopol. Documents reviewedincluded correspondence from the City of Sebastopol and their representatives, and monthlyprogress reports and correspondence from your consultants E2C Remediation, LLC. Severalissues have been raised by the City of Sebastopol regarding the length of time to design,construct and implement the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) approved by this office on May 21,2001. The City of Sebastopol and your consultant, E2C Remediation have expressed opposingarguments oil the progress in completing the well-head treatment system for the City'sMunicipal Well #4.

The CAP was prepared in January 2001 and approved by our office in May2001. The CAPcontained a proposal for well-head treatment for the City of Sebastopol's Municipal Well NO.4,and biospargingon-site to reduce the concentrations of chemicals of concern in groundwater.After one year, no well-head treatment system has been installed. Furthermore, no informationhas been received by tbis office on the biosparging system to address the source ofcontamination at the site. Well-head treatment and on-site remediation should proceedexpeditiously.

Staf:fs review of the groundwater monitoring reports for 2001 and the first quarter of 2002indicate increasing concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in monitoring wells MW-l, MW-2, MW-7, MW-9, and the detection of petroleum hydrocarbons and MTBE in MW-15. Theincrease in contaminant concentrations is a concern, and on-site remediation should commenceas soon as possible to address the contamination. The increasing trends in contaminantconcentrations may indicate a new release from the station.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 13267(b) ofthe California Water Code (CWC), I require that yousubmit a technical report and workplan for completion of the well-head treatment system by

California Environmental Protection Agency

".,l?J Recycled Paper
