WANKE <br /> County of San Joaquin <br /> Local Health Department <br /> Post Office Box 2009 <br /> Stockton, CA 95201 <br /> Re: Service Station Operated by Desert Petroleum, Inc. <br /> Situated at 950 West 11th Street, Tracy <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> On February 11, 1992, Desert Petroleum, Inc. filed a <br /> petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The case (No. <br /> LA 92-14240RR) is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court, <br /> Central District of California. <br /> I am enclosing a copy of the "Notice of Filing of Bankruptcy <br /> Petition" which was prepared by Desert's Bankruptcy counsel, Mr. <br /> Robert Bass. <br /> As with most chapter 11 cases, the company will operate as <br /> a "debtor in possession" and will concentrate its efforts <br /> initially in the direction of making new credit and supply <br /> arrangements, without which it cannot continue its operations. <br /> Most actions which involve the expenditure of funds will require <br /> coordination with lenders, creditors and authorization from the <br /> Bankruptcy Court. Operating in such a climate, the company loses <br /> much of its independence and autonomy and experiences limitations <br /> and restrictions in its ability to deal with the requests and <br /> demands from third parties, including creditors and regulatory <br /> agencies. <br /> With respect to environmental directives involving its <br /> stations, the company will attempt to channel its immediate <br /> energies and limited resources, subject of course to Bankruptcy <br /> Court approvals, to those locations where on-going releases pose <br /> a threat to the environment or persons.
