ENVIROMVIENT HEALTH Attn: Charles Metzinger PERMIT/SERVICES 1326 North Market Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95834-1912 Gentlemen/Ladies: As you know, we've reached an impasse on the underground clean up at 515 w. Charter Way in Stockton, CA. A few years back I agreed to let your company bill the State Water Resource Control Board directly for your work on this clean-up project. I paid you and you took it from there. As time went by our account kept dwindling. I had no clue as to why, until I found out that the State had stopped paying for the rent of the soil vapor extraction unit. It turns out that the State, after paying for the full value of the soil vapor extraction device they, and rightly so, discontinued paying "rent" even though Shaw continued to bill for it. Unbeknown to me, I continued to pay the full amount of each invoice. I have contacted others including State Water resources and my attorney, and all agree that I should not pay what the State has declared a superfluous charge. Since operation and maintenance of this unit is billed separately, Shaw would not be "writing off' any direct expense to them, but simply deleting an unjust bill. The sum amount of this excess rental charge appears to be $41,400.00. To add to my dismay we are not much further along in this clean-up operation than when it was started nearly fifteen years ago. It appears that this project has become a cash-cow for Shaw Environmentai & infrastructure Inc. The Frank & Rose Rodgers estate is committed, with the help pf the State Water Resources to clean up the soil & water at this site, and seeks the spirit of fairness and compensation from Shaw and the San Joaquin Environmental agency in reaching this goal. Res ectfully, Do Rodgers
