Subdivislon improvements, in general, consist of a well, crater distribution exstem, equipment installation at the Par country Estates Well Site No. z, street lighting, and roadway improvements. The Subdivider, Daniel Schack, at al, arranged for construction to begin in 1986. As the water system and other improvements were nearing completion in early 1988, water quality tests on the Hillside Greene well indicated that excessive levels of nitrates were present. During 1988, the Subdivider submitted several incomplete proposals for water treatment systems, to correct the nitrate problem. After approximately six months, it became apparent the Subdivider was either unable or unwilling to correct the water system deficiencies. In September of 1988, the Board of Supervisors authorized a demand to Developers Insurance Company MICO) , as Surety, for completion of the Subdivider a obligations (B-88-1356) . Shortly thereafter, the Batik of America initiated foreclosure proceedings against the Subdivider. During 1989, RICO and Bank of America commissioned several studies and rehabilitative efforts, in an attempt to resolve the nitrate problem. These proved unsuccessful, and neither DICO nor Bank of America displayed a willingness to pursue the problem further. In April of 1990, County Counsel filed a lawsuit; but deferred service of the complaint to allow various Subdivision acquiaition proposals (by new developera) to run their course. In late 1992, a new development group (Par Green Partners) displayed a serious interest in acquiring the Subdivision and - resolving the water quality problems. They submitted a formal well rehabilitation proposal for County review in March of 1993. In early April, 1993, County Counsel served its previously filed lawsuit (against DICO, Bank of America, et al) , to meet statutory deadliness for service and protect the County'a legal interests. Par Green Part.ners formalized acquisition of the Hillside. Greene Subdivision in late April of this year. Their contractor began rehabilitation work at the Hillside Greens well Bite in early May. The origintal Hillside Greens well was abandoned, after rehabilitation effort.a failed, and a new well was drilled on the same lot. The new well meets State Title 22 water quality j guidelines. All remaining Subdivision improvements have been i completed. The Department of Public Works and Public Health � Services - Environmental Health, Division have determined that the work is complete and ready for acceptance by the Board of Bupsx�is�xs. j
