Mr. Smith stated that he did not think the floor was going to-Be contaminated and I said that I hoped he was right, but then I said look at Circuit Works. Mr. Smith went on to explain the difference between his operation and Circuit Works operation and he felt that there would be no problem with contamination because his floors "..were sealed". Mr. Smith told me that they had treated approximately 26,000 gallon of the wastewater that was in the parking lot poly tanks and that water was then disposed of into the sewer. Mr. Smith said that approximately 12,000 gallons still remains untreated but will be treated with the help of Al Navarro who will upgrade the ion exchange unit on the property for that purpose. I asked what will happen to the ion exchange unit once the treatment is over and Mr. Smith said Mr. Navarro will take it back because it actually belongs to him. The three tanks that hold sludge from the treated wastewater still need to be cleaned out and that will be done by Mr. Tupas, Mr. Tupas, and Mr. Smith with a high pressure washer, with the waste going into one of the other poly tanks for treatment and eventual disposal into the sewer. I asked Mr. Smith where Mr. Celso Tupas and Mr. Renato "J.R." Tupas are working now. Mr. Smith said Celso is working for LIKA and J.R. is working for a truck leasing company behind McDonald's on Charter Way as an accountant. Mr. Smith then showed me the sales agreement for Dana Commercial Credit, 2220 Douglas Blvd., #250, Roseville, CA 95661 to sell the equipment to R.J. Enterprises, Inc., PO Box 1944, Carson City, Nevada, 89702. Mr. Smith showed me the original quote for the value of the equipment to be $18, 140 in 1989 for the Bratt III Developer and $28,015 in 1989 for the Alkaline Etching System model CC516-20. Mr. Smith explained that he leased the equipment with an option to buy at the end of his lease and he only had $12,000 left to pay on the contract. I told Mr. Smith that I would let him know what the answer to his question was about transporting the equipment, after I spoke with DTSC. Mr. Hinkle asked me if he would be able to sell the building after Mr. Smith removes all of the equipment and hazardous waste. I told Mr. Hinkle that the contamination to the floor still has to be addressed and if he would like further information about that then I would try to bring Mr. David Irey back to the site with me later this afternoon and both Mr. Smith and Mr. Hinkle agreed to that. Michael Kith and I left the site at 10:00 a.m. 1:30 p.m. I spoke with Alan Ito of DTSC about the transportation of the equipment that held the developer and the etchant solutions. Mr. Ito told me that if the equipment held chemicals that were used for a process and the chemicals were removed and disposed of as hazardous waste then the equipment could be transported and used at another location if the equipment was to be used for the same process. I told Mr. Ito that was indeed the case however the equipment was not certified "clean" prior to transporting it and Mr. Ito told me that there is no certification required. I then asked Mr. Ito about treating the rest of the waste onsite under their previously held tiered permit. Mr. Ito said that if the business still exists then it would be acceptable, if however, the business is dissolved then a new permit would have to be applied for. 2
