location. The last caller called on 4/2/07 stating Ripon Farm Service did not contain the <br /> spill and it ran onto the ground and the spill was not reported. How can this application <br /> ( referral have a negative declaration when this has already happened in the city of Ripon? <br /> Accidents do happen and San Joaquin County has one of the highest cancer rates in the <br /> state. Wouldn't you agree with me if the board thinks this project is safe to all the <br /> residents surrounding the property, the entire 17 acres should be on a cement slab, but <br /> then another problem happens, cement is porous. Ripon Farm Service thinks only where <br /> the tanks will be stored you need a cement slab. I'm saying again, spills drain off the <br /> cement into the ground if they are not contained immediately. This is still happening at <br /> the Ripon location. I have concerned citizens calling me with this type of information. <br /> My back door to truck is chain-link fence. Pipeline between R/R spur(Shelly) & <br /> First row of trees is RIR spur. my home. <br /> Concern #3 — Our resident water wells average 85 feet. Ripon Farm Service is proposing <br /> two 300 foot water wells. Do I need to be concerned about my well running dry or my <br /> water being contaminated by sloppy clean-up work? I would only be approx. 100 ft_ <br /> away from one of their wells. Wouldn't you agree Ripon Farm Service should be willing <br /> to meter all the wells in the area to protect their business as well as the homes in the area? <br /> Ripon Farm Service did shut down a business in Ripon because of contaminated water. <br /> How do you live or sell your home when your only source of water has been destroyed? <br /> Concern #4 - Property value. I was not planning on selling my family's home. My future <br /> was to live there the rest of my life. I am 54 years old and I support myself. I cannot <br /> afford house payments by myself at my age. If this proposal passes, I will be afraid of <br /> my well water being contaminated to where I would want to have it tested on a monthly <br /> basis (I cannot afford this expense) and who would want to live in a house in the country <br /> with a chemical storage plant and railroad car in your backyard unloading their cargo? <br /> Can you imagine the noise level? But, I'm afraid I would have to stay living in my home. <br /> Who would buy my property under these circumstances? Maybe someone would, but <br /> would I be able to relocate without putting myself in debt? Is Ripon Farm Service <br /> willing to compensate me for the lost I will be taking in selling my property? <br /> l <br /> - 2 - <br />
