Alan R. Coon November 10, 1998 Page 2 an enforcement action in coordination with the State Integrated Waste Management Board and will involve a large scale, subsurface clean-up project. It was noted that during the expected subsurface clean-up project of the Lane property, additional subsurface clean-up may be identified as necessary on Cal State Mortgage's property. The number one consensus from our October 6, 1998 meeting was that the legal. boundaries of the property owned by Cal State Mortgage would be determined. This would enable your clients to do a complete clean-up of the above ground solid waste located on their property. This would also help identify if recent subsurface disposal of waste has occurred on Cal State Mortgage's property. Neither your clients nor the Environmental Health Department staff were aware of the property boundary between Cal State Mortgage and the late Mr. Lane. It was unclear if the fence lines corresponded with the actual property boundaries or if recent dumping along the Santa Fe Railroad embankment had occurred on your clients' property. Following the meeting, your clients were going to determine the legal property boundaries of their property and provide this information to the County. You indicated during our telephone conversation on October 29, 1998, that a survey of the subject property had occurred. I requested that you provide this information confirming the legal boundaries of your clients' property to the County. Your letter dated October 29, 1998, does not provide such information. Only your personal observations as a witness is forwarded to support your contentions concerning your clients' property boundaries. It is requested that you submit to the Environmental Health Division a description of the legal property boundaries. Your letter erroneously represents that the County has not fulfilled its promises made at the meeting which occurred on October 6, 1998 (your letter misstates that the meeting occurred on October 5, 1998). During the meeting you specifically indicated that you would notify the County of the specific documents requested, at a later time. In order to obtain documents concerning this matter, please make a public records request specifying the documents requested with the Environmental Health Division. The County's current charges for copying public records are 10 cents per page for the first 21 pages and 7 cents per page thereafter. As I indicated during our telephone conversation of October 29, 1998, consistent with previous County policy, the County will not purchase this property from Cal State Mortgage. In addition, it is not possible for a "clean bill of health" letter to be issued by the County concerning this property. If your clients wish to schedule a site visit by the County of the property prior to, during or following their intended surface clean-up, please notify my office for coordination.
