The east side has a wide road right of way and is upstream of the prevailing underwater flow. Because of this layout, it is not possible for our property to do any new contamination from the property being used as a landfill 20 to 70 years ago. 10. We purchased the property for$8,800 and have spent $1,200.00 for part of the property's surface cleanup. If there are any plans by any government agencies to run up bills and/or deny us the use of our property, we recommend that they reimburse us for our costs and withdraw San Joaquin County's sale of the property. They were not able to supply the title and use of the property. The county can then run and control the property as they wish. 11. On May 25th, 2 hours after the auction, we went to the Health Dept. to find what they had on the property regarding the statement of "possible contamination". Mike Huggins said that we bought a nightmare. They told us to request the files on this property, and they would review it with us. On June 16, 22 days later, they assembled the file and had us meet with Robert Mc Clellon o0the Health Department. He said he had already made up the letters of a 30 day notice demanding the new buyers to begin the$200,000 property cleanup within 30 days. The holdup was waiting for a set of buyers and their addresses to put on the notice. He also said that he would start attaching all of the buyers' other properties because of the purchase of this 10 acres, to insure a cleanup. (Statements made by Robert Mc Clellon June 16, 2000) Items to be done(as reviewed by Robert McClellon, June 16, 2000): A. Dig up 30,000 yds. of landfill and take to another landfill. B. Take all the pieces of concrete and grind them up to spread on the land and wait for the rain on this concrete powder. C. Leave a large trench on the back of the property. Of course this would weaken the Amtrack and Santa Fe railroad bed and tracks 30 feet above our property and weaken the levee containing the sewer ponds. D. Financially drain the buyers,just as he was Cal-State Mortgage on their 16 acres next door, because that property had been put into their name by foreclosure!
