Page 1 of 2 Alfonso Arambula [EH] From: Gebrehawariat, Tadese [tgebrehawariat@CIWMB.ca.gov] Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2009 12:50 PM To: Alfonso Arambula [EH] Cc: Robert McClellon [EH]; Poulson, Zane Subject: RE: Landfilling Observed at 2711 Navy Dr., Stockton 95206 Alfonso — I had promised to share with you of our investigation of the matter you referred to us, back in September. As you can see, I visited the site yesterday and sent the e-mail that you see below, to the Environmental Manager (EM) of the Company today. Hi Andrew—Yesterday, October 28, 2009, I visited the subject property hoping to find Mr. Terry Loeser, the manager on-site and wanting to ask questions regarding a referral we received that the Learner Company may have disposed waste at the property. As I found, there was no one on site and the gate was locked. This morning, I contacted Mr. Loeser by telephone and he asked me to direct all questions regarding the property to you. Mr. Loeser stated that you have received a"release" from the County of San Joaquin, and that you are currently working with DTSC regarding some aspects of the operation you may have had at the site and clean up issues. The nature of the referral we received was that the company was closing the operation after 30 years and may be disposing waste on the property by landfilling. Various types of heavy equipment were observed on the property, that may have been used to excavate large pits for the disposal of solid waste on the property. Since, as you know, the CIWMB is the designated Enforcement Agency (EA) for all issues related to the handling and management of solid waste within the City of Stockton, please submit a written report, within 15 days, to address the allegation of the disposal of solid waste at the subject property. If you deem that the matters of the property and the waste handling activities on the property are within the jurisdiction of the DTSC, please forward to us the names, address, and telephone number of the DTSC (and/or San Joaquin County) contacts that you are working with on the project. I just got a call from the EM, assuring me that no solid waste was disposed on the property and that they will submit a full written report of the cleanup activities they have done, and of the work they are doing with DTSC. Once again, thanks for the referral.
