Mrs. Alice Plumlee %✓ 14 Mr. Otto Williford j Donald L Bianchi and Joyce Coleen Bianchi January 31, 1992 Page 2 Cleanup Program, just recently enacted. At this writing, we do not have an opinion regarding the inquiry. We have been recently advised,verbally,that the primary agency responsibility overview will shift from the State Water Resources Control Board to San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department with associated monitoring costs being allocated by the county. San Joaquin County's Environmental Health Department has requested the names and addresses of previously known owners of the referenced property. Accordingly, we will comply with that directive. Should you have knowledge of those preceding you in ownership of the property, please advise me of same. We will forward that data to the appropriate agency. Please be advised it is our understanding that prevailing State and/or Federal law provides that the original "generators" of the pollution may be liable for costs of remediation. Further research is obviously necessary to clarify the issue. Since it's inception, it has been our objective to minimize the costs of dealing with the problem. We,jointly,may now be confronted with additional expense to decontaminate the property as a result of possible State mandates. Those costs may be distributable to former owners, original waste generators, current owners, or any combination thereof, all in accordance with interpretation of prevailing law and current case rulings. We intend to vigorously pursue the Underground Storage Tank Fund for reimbursement of cleanup costs. If eligible, most major costs of cleanup will be defrayed, subject to a$10,000 deductible. I am enclosing for your information our latest data report containing most recent, as well as accumulated, historical site test contaminant levels. Please call me if there are questions.
