PAGE THREE - AG & SRCB NOR REMEDIAL WORK. IN ORDER THAT ONE INDICATE WHERE, WHICH FACILITY, A CONTAMINATED PRODUCT WILL GO, IT IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN AN ACCEPTANCE - THAT IS PERMISSION TO BRING THE CONTAMINATED STUFF TO SOME FACILITY. ONE CANNOT SIMPLY SAY, OH, I'LL TAKE IT TO FACILITY X. YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE FACILITY IS PERMITTED TO ACCEPT YOUR CONTAMINATED STUFF AND AT THOSE LEVELS. AT A MINIMUM, A DISPOSAL FACILITY REQUIRES A CALIFORN.IA CERTIFIED LABORATORY ANALYSIS AND USUALLY A SAMPLE. HOW CAN YOU OBTAIN PERMISSION TO DISPOSE OF A HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC MATERIAL- PRIOR TO KNOWING WHAT THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL IS? SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SIMPLY REFUSES TO DEAL WITH A REAL WORLD PRACTICAL ISSUE. FURTHER, THIS APPLICATION IS AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT FORM SUBJECT TO PERJURY. I REFUSE AND HAVE INSTRUCTED MY CLIENT THAT HE IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THIS 11 (B) REQUIREMENT WITHOUT SUBJECTING HIMSELF TO PERJURY. THE NEXT QUESTION SURROUNDING THIS LUDICROUS ISSUE IS 11 CC) WHICH ASKS, "NAME THE CONTAMINATED SOIL HAZARDOUS WASTE HAULER". AGAIN, IF ONE DOES NOT KNOW THE LEVELS OF CONTAMINATION, WHAT THE CONTAMINATION IS, HOW MUCH IS THERE AND WHERE IS IT GOING, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER THESE TWO QUESTIONS. THE ADDITIONAL ISSUE RAISED AND JUST CONVENIENTLY IGNORED, IS THE CONFLICT OF THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY'S OWN APPLICATION AND WARNING ON PAGE TWO, AT III, SITE MITIGATION. ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN APPLICATION, IT IS A VIOLATION TO INSTIGATE ANY REMEDIAL WORK AT ALL WITHOUT A SUBMITTED WRITTEN WORKPLAN TO SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY UNIT IV, THE SITE MITIGATION UNIT. THEIR OWN WORDING SAYS,"...AND HAVE IT APPROVED PRIOR TO INITIATING ANY (EMPHASIZED) ASSESSMENT 01 REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES". ANSWERING QUESTION 11 VIOLATES THIS PROVI OF THE TANK REMOVAL APPLICATION AND IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT. AGAIN, I HAVE ADVISED MY CLIENT THAT UNDER PENALTY OF STUPIDITY, HE MAY NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION. SO HERE WE SIT ALMOST THREE MONTHS LATER, TRYIMG OUR BEST TO FOLLOW THE LAW. YET SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY REFUSES TO OBEY THEIR CLEAR CHARGE, HAS PLACED MY CLIENT IN JEOPARDY, IS CAUSING ME FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC HARDHIP, IS CLEARLY NON ACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, MAY BE HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT BY DELAYING THIS JOB UNREASONABLY AND IS TYPICALLY, BEING JUST HARD TO RESON WITH. I H)jVE ENCLOSED THE 18 NOVEMBER, 1999 LETTER TO ME FROM THE SAN JO'AQUIN COUNTY OFFICE OF COUNTY COUNSEL WHICH I DID NOT. RESPON TO BUT FOUND HUMOROUS. IN THAT MATTER, IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE, THE CLIENT WROTE A LETTER TO MR. WILSON INDICATING THAT THEY (THE CLIE WOULD FOLLOW THW LAW IN THE CASE OF CONTAMINATION. I SAW NO REASON TO PURSUE THE MATTER AND INFORM THE POOR LADY FROM THE COUNTY COUNSEL THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF THE LAW AND THINGS LIKE TERMS DEFINITE AND CERTAIN. IN THIS COUNTY, ANY ATTEMPT TO CONFRONT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS A PRONOUNCEMENT OF WAR. QUITE FRANKLY, PEOPLE ARE JUST SICK AND TIRED OF BEING RAM RODDED AND ROLLED OVER BY BUREAUCRATS WHO HAVE ANY OVER SIZED IMAGINATION AS THEIR POWER, IMPORTANCE AND POLICE POWER. WE ARE PAYING THESE PEOPLE TO HELP SC PROBLEMS, NOT CREATE PROBLEMS AND CREATE IVORY TOWER STRUCTURES TF ARE NOT ANSWERABLE TO THE PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE AE WELL AS WHO PAY THEM. I ASK BY WAY OF THIS LETTER THAT THE STATE C CALIFORNIA INSTRUCT SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY TO ISSUE THE TANK PERMIT Wh I HAVE REQUESTED PROPERLY, HAVE PAID FOR, AM ENTITLE TO AND TO INSTRUCT SAN JAOQUIN COUNTY THAT THEIR FORM IS FLAWED. I ATTEMPTEE TO HAVE THE WATER RESOUCES BOARD ASSIST BUT I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN
