00 ft Fleet/Brannon Tire site, they had been checking the"Same As Hauler"box. Jenni Frase concurred that was correct procedure. Then Fred Smith showed Jenni Frase the correspondence from CIWMB Michael Kith pointed out that Fred Smith did not fill out the facility TPID and phone number. That box was for the same address as hauler only. CTLs at Advanced Trailer were discussed. The CTLs in question documented tire transports that had been made in the Advanced Trailer vehicle that was registered as a hauler under Fleet/Brannon Tire. Jenni Frase explained that the receipt copy of the CTL should remain at Advanced Trailer and the yellow hauler copy should be kept at the Fleet/Brannon Tire location. Michael Kith borrowed the blank CTL form from Mr. Smith to demonstrate that the yellow copy was to be kept at the Fleet/Brannon Tire hauler site and the CTL customer receipt was to be kept at the Advanced Trailer site. The inspection report for Advanced Trailer also reflected this information. Jerold Brannon signed the inspection report and Jenni Frase gave Mr. Brannon the yellow copy. The third report delivered was for the inspection conducted on June 18, 2007 at the Fleet/Brannon site located at the Open Air Flea Market at 3550 N Wilson Way, citing two violations for existing conditions. Delivered along with the inspection report was CIWMB Notice of Violation (NOV) and copy of pertinent laws and regulations, and two attachments labeled A and B that were received from the facility on June 19 and June 20, 2007. Upon initial review, Mr. Brannon was visibly upset. Mr. Brannon shook the documents in his hand. Then Mr. Brannon set the documents on the desk and started looking at them one by one. Mr. Brannon stated, "This is harassment. I don't want you people on my property any more. Next time you want to come, you must get permission. You are making me ill. I don't want you here."Mr. Brannon dropped all the documents onto the desk and claimed that he (Mr. Brannon)would not sign the inspection reports until Charles Hastings, Mr. Brannon's lawyer,reviewed the documents. Mr. Brannon added that Mr. Brannon's lawyer advised Mr. Brannon not to sign anything without the lawyer's approval. Michael Kith informed Mr. Brannon, "We came here with your permission. Ms. Frase called you for that permission at noon. If you wish to revoke that permission you can; we will leave right now. Would you like us to leave now?" Mr. Brannon responded "No, what do you want from me?" Michael Kith explained, "All we want is for you to comply with the Laws." Mr. Brannon attempted to contact Mr. Hasting, Mr. Brannon's lawyer,by phone; Mr. Brannon could not reach Mr. Hasting. Michael Kith explained that refusing to sign the inspection reports was within Mr. Brannon's right and it would not change the outcome. Michael Kith then instructed Jenni Frase to write"owner refused to sign"on the Business Rep's Signature portion of the inspection report. Mr. Brannon continued to say things like, "A lot of other businesses are with me on this and we're gonna take this to court and we'll win in court," and"I have T.R.I.B. (Tire Retread Information Bureau) ready to help us change the law," and"My lawyer has beat things like this before, you know that? He's taking this case for free because he knows he can win,he has before" and"Have you even read the law? I have a copy of the law sent to me by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. Would you like to see?"
