Cleanup and Abatement Order No. 87-733 was issued to GMI in 1987 for violations of 65/66-110 that resulted in pollution of domestic and agricultural ground water supplies. The C&A contains a time schedule for replacing water supplies, investigating the extent and source of pollution, and beginning cleanup. GMI did not comply with the time schedule in the C&A.

(Newco Acquisition Sub. , Inc. , later changed its name to Golden Gate Fresh Foods. Golden Gate Fresh Foods Inc. does business as Victor Fine Foods, as stated in Finding No. 1 above) .
