UST Program - LG 158 - Sample Letter 1

For purposes of implementing these sections, you have been identified as the primary or active responsible party. Please provide to this agency, within twenty calendar days of receipt of this notice, a complete mailing list of all current record owners of fee title to the site. You may use the enclosed list of landowners form (sample letter 2) to comply with this requirement. If the list of current record owners of fee title to the site changes, you must notify the local agency of the change within 20 calendar days from when you are notified of the change.

If you are the sole landowner, please indicate that on the landowner list form. The following notice requirements do not apply to responsible parties who are the sole landowner for the site.

In accordance with Section 25297.15(a) of Ch. 6.7 of the Health & Safety Code, you must certify to the local agency that all current record owners of fee title to the site have been informed of the proposed action before the local agency may do any of the following:

1) consider a cleanup proposal (corrective action plan)

2) consider a site closure proposal

3) make a determination that no further action is required

4) issue a closure letter

You may use the enclosed notice of proposed action form (sample letter 3) to comply with this requirement. Before approving a cleanup proposal or site closure proposal, determining that no further action is required, or issuing a closure letter, the local agency will take all reasonable steps necessary to accommodate responsible landowner participation in the cleanup and site closure process and will consider all input and recommendations from any responsible landowner.
