.7 a 1 0 a a SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT SITE NAME: LYNCH/SANTA FE ILLEGAL DISPOSAL SITE SWIS #: 39 -CR -0040 LOCATION: 23023 SOUTH SANTA FE ROAD, RIVERBANK, CA 95367 ACREAGE: 16 (approximate) APN: 249-060-13 OWNER: DELTA FUNDING, LTD PTP (possible change through foreclosure) ADDRESS: C/O CAL STATE HOME LOANS / M. RABENA STOCKTON, CA 95207 PHONE: UNKNOWN FAX: N/A SITE VISIT DATE: 6/3/98 PRESENT: J OBERHELMAN (CIWMB), B WILLIAMS (CIWMB), S. MINDT (LEA), T SWEESO (CODE ENFORCEMENT) BACKGROUND: This property is located just north of the Bill Lane Dump (39 -CR -0001) on South Santa Fe Road, Riverbank. The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (LEA, 209-468-0343) and Code Enforcement offices (209-468-3184) reported that in 1989 a case (#EN - 89 -168) was filed with the District Attorney's office regarding the illegal accumulation/disposal of waste on this property. The owner at the time, Leonard Lynch, claimed that he had not placed or allowed the placement -of the waste on his property. After legal action, the County of San Joaquin spent $70,000 to remove solid waste from this property (reportedly all of the waste was not removed from the property's southern boundary because the contractor did not know where the southern property line was located and believed that the solid waste left on-site resided on the adjacent Bill Lane Dump property). Because of some glitches in paperwork/iegal processing, the owner (at the time Lynch) allegedly was not assessed for the cleanup and a lien was not placed on this property. During this time period, property ownership apparently changed through a foreclosure action. The LEA & Code Enforcement offices recently became aware that surface disposal activities have resumed at this location and requested 2136 staff to evaluate this site for possible site cleanup consideration on 5/27/98. REMARKS: This investigation was conducted in conjunction with the inspection of the adjoining property known as the Bill Lane Dump (39 -CR -0001). Observations of the property were made from South Santa Fe Road (along the property's eastern boundary) and from the Bill Lane Dump property (along the property's southern boundary). An on-site inspection will follow permission from the property owner to access the site. From the vantage points described above, a large amount (approximately 2,000 yd 3) of waste (construction/demolition debris, tires, appliances, landscaping, & household trash) was observed near and along the property's southern boundary. An area of waste was observed to have been placed on the side of the rail road berm, toward the property's southwest corner, apparently in readiness for landfilling activities. Access to the property for the purpose of discarding/disposing of waste is apparently gained by the use of two dirt roads that connect through the Bill Lane Dump.
