cleaning of trucks at this location. Mr. Hufstetler stated they did not service trucks at this location. The tour continued to the drainage ditch. The drainage ditch was located on the south side of the property outside of the perimeter fence, which surrounds the entire property. Access to the ditch is gained through a locked gate. The locked gate was opened by an Earth Grains employee. It was noted at the head of the ditch there was an open cement cistern approximately two (2) feet across. A dark black liquid was visible inside the cistern. On both sides of the cement cistern, the weeds were covered with a black oily substance, which smelled like waste oil . When asked, if he knew about any waste being released to this area, Mr. Hufstetler denied knowing anything about the ditch and the apparent contamination. Mr. Hufstetler, Dennis Fields, Sam Martinez, Lynn Fields, Steve Edgar and I walked the length of the ditch to determine the distance the oily waste was distributed. There was some evidence of contamination in the weeds almost to the end of the ditch. The ditch was approximately 250 yards from beginning to end, running east from Charter Way. At the end of the ditch was located a dirt levee containing a covered pipe, which entered a second ditch which ran north and south parallel to the Western Pacific Railroad. (Tire tracks were visible from the railroad in weeds along side the ditch. ) From the end of the ditch, Sam Martinez, (an Earth Grains Employee) , paced off the south west to south east length of the ditch at approximately 250 yards. I informed Mr. Hufstetler that I would be filing a Proposition 65 Notification of the oily spill in the ditch. After inspection of the ditch was completed, Mr. Fields, Mr. Hufstetler and I passed through the gate which was then locked by an Earth Grains employee. Mr. Hufstetler escorted Mr. Fields and I to the back of the Earth Grains bakery plant to view the acid spill. The spill was a long puddle approximately 45 feet by 2 feet, which began at a piece of bread making equipment. A contractor had been hired to clean the equipment and a spill ended up on the black top. I inquired as to the name of the contractor and Mr. Martinez stated he didn't know who the contractor was. Mr. Martinez further stated he had a phone number for the contractor and left a message for him about the acid spill. At the time of my inquiry, Mr. Martinez stated the contractor had not returned his call. Dennis Fields, O.E. S. , took out some pH paper and reached down to take the ph of the puddle. The pH strip turned bright red and the reading on the chart indicated a pH of 1. It was noted that vapors were rising off the spill.
