On an average day, the Los Angeles Regional Water
Quality Control Board – Underground Storage Tank
Program, will receive twenty to twenty-five requests
to review Underground Storage Tank (UST) files.
In order to meet this demand and ensure a quick
turn-around, the Regional Board has developed File
Review Procedures to facilitate the numerous requests.
To review an UST Regional Board case file, a File
Reviewer is required to do the following:
- A
written request or a faxed request (fax to
213-576-6707 or mail to our address, attn:
UST File Review Request) indicating the sites
to be reviewed must be submitted to the UST – File
Review desk. To ensure prompt service and
for tracking purposes, Regional Board staff
will not make a review appointment for requests
made by telephone or requests left on staff’s
voice-mail. On the written request, a file
reviewer must indicate the exact site address
(Street No., Street Name, City, and Zip Code)
and/or Regional Board case number for each
file requested.
- Upon
receipt of a file review request, Regional
Board staff will compare the information
submitted with the UST database and determine
the status of the file.
- If
the file requested is not a Regional Board
case file, is overseen by another unit of
the Regional Board or another regulatory
agency, or if there is no record for the
file, Regional Board staff will contact the
requesting party and provide that information.
- If
the file requested is a UST--Regional Board
case, Regional Board staff will track down
the file and determine its availability.
There are instances when Regional Board staff
is working on a file that has been requested.
In these instances, Regional Board staff
will inform the requesting party on when
the case file will be available.
- If
the case file is available for review, Regional
Board staff will contact the requesting party
and set a file review appointment. The actual
time and date of the file review appointment
depends on the availability of space in the
file review room, the size and number of
files requested, and the requesting party’s
schedule.
- When
finished with the file review, the case files
are to be put back in the original/chronological
order and condition. If copies are needed,
you can arrange your own copy service. For
details, please call 213-576-6748 or –6749.
