The County is planning to perform additional soil sampling on the County's property to determine the level of urea which may be located on our property right of way. That sampling is planned for completion by the end of next week. The results of the sampling on our property will be gathered together by the County Environmental Health Department together with the results of the sampling which you have performed on your property and forwarded to the State Regional Water Quality Control Board for its review and recommendations as to whether both of us can be assured that the clean-up efforts have been sufficient to avert future environmental harm.

We must also promptly deal with the contaminated soils which were removed from our property and currently are stored on your property. We thank you.for your offer to store the soils on your property and for selecting a place on which the soils could be temporarily stored. In order to manage the potential for liability which could arise if the County does not effect final disposal of those soils, the County will remove the soils immediately upon your approval, or in any event, no later than the end of next week. You have indicated that you might be interested in keeping the soils since they are valuable not only as additional soil but for the quality urea contained in the soils which you would use to fertilize your fields. Our legal counsel advises me that if you wish to retain the soils the County could release them to you only if we had
