1051 McClellan Way <br /> Stockton California 95207 <br /> June 14, 1994 <br /> Michael C.Donovan,Esq. <br /> HOPFJNS &CARLEY <br /> A Law Corporation <br /> 150 Almaden Blvd. Suite 1500 <br /> San Jose, CA 95113-2089 <br /> Dear Sir. <br /> My husband and I live five houses away from Gettysburg Place,which is also the western boundary <br /> of the Lincoln Shopping Center. The legal notice in the newspaper,regarding Case NO.CIV-S-91-760 <br /> DFL(GGH),Lincoln Village Properties,Ltd.vs.Norman Higgins,et al,states that all persons who have <br /> an interest in,or may have potential liability resulting from,the soil and ground water <br /> contamination that exists at and in the vicinity of the Lincoln Shopping Center in San Joaquin <br /> County near Stockton should submit their comments to the court for consideration before July 18, <br /> 1994- <br /> In 1988,1 believe,the summer I witnessed the wells being pumped and flushed down the sewer(and <br /> one questions THAT decision,pumping contaminated well water back through the sewer system),I <br /> phoned the Water Company and was given a rum-around Everyone was evasive but I persisted and <br /> eventually learned that there was a problem with ogre of the wells,"but there is no need for concern, <br /> this was not the well in current use' To take no chances we immediately started using bottled water <br /> and continue to do so,an expense we have incurred due to the carelessness and lack of good <br /> judgment by the defendants in this case. <br /> We have not been adequately informed about the problem or what plans are being taken to remove <br /> the contamination. At present we have no way of knowing whether or not w e might be personally <br /> affected by this problem,that is,beyond our not feeling free to drink the water from our tap. We <br /> would likethe defendants named above to be required to have tests conducted on the soil and water <br /> on OUR property and in our neighborhood before any settlement is made.if <br /> contamination by cleaning solvents is found,the clean-up procedure should be Ihdr responsibility. <br /> What are the health concerns? We have not been told <br /> Please acknowledge receipt of this letter. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Carol van Bronkhorst Warren van Bronkhoorrst <br />
