HONORABLE RICHARD YOSHIKAWA May 11, 1982 Page Two Accordingly, Forward, Inc. wishes to offer the following proposal : We suggest that an independent third party technical expert be appointed by the County for the purpose of evaluating the site and its operations to determine if, in accordance with the appropriate regulations and laws, it constitutes an imminent hazard to the general public and to recommend corrections or changes in site operation if necessary. We would anticipate a consulting firm which could bring to the effort expertise in the several disciplines involved in the site operation. Forward, Inc. suggests that the expert or firm be responsible to the County, but that the person appointed be one acceptable to the Farm Bureau, Forward, Inc. , and the County. Forward, Inc. is prepared to pay a fair share (or, indeed all, if necessary, since it is imperative that this matter be laid to rest once and for all) of the cost of such an independent expert. If this can be done, we would also suggest that the continued testimony scheduled for May 13, 1982 be cancelled. Although we are regretful that we did not get the opportunity to present our side, it frankly seems an exercise in futility, since it is apparent that no matter what is said, it will not be acceptable to the Farm Bureau, and will not therefore resolve the matter. We are also sympathetic to the fact that you are confronted with the consideration of some highly technical issues. Appointment of an independent third-party expert, res- ponsible to the County, would aid the Board in its evaluation more than anything else presented by the parties. Will you please advise whether this is acceptable? Ve,ty ruly yours, JOHN W.
