Your letters indicate that Interstate Brands Corporation <br /> ("IBC")is the primary Responsible Party for the site because it was the owner of the UST system at the time of <br /> removal. Your letters further direct IBC to submit a work plan to investigate the extent of contamination, <br /> reinitiate quarterly groundwater monitoring,and attend a unilaterally scheduled meeting on November 28,2005. <br /> I have confirmed that IBC no longer owns the property in question and it is my understanding that IBC <br /> previously requested a Remedial Action Completion letter with regard to the Site. Further,on September 22, <br /> 2004,IBC,along with its affiliates,filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code <br /> (the"Code")in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri(the"Court"). <br /> Therefore,IBC will not take further action with regard to remediation of the Site or additional groundwater <br /> monitoring and will not be sending a representative to the scheduled meeting on November 28. <br /> Copies of the Notice of Commencement and Notice of Bar Date for the bankruptcy case are enclosed for your <br /> reference. Please note that since you were previously provided with notice of the bankruptcy and since the Bar <br /> Date for filing claims with the Court was March 21,2005,a claim in the bankruptcy is prohibited. In addition, <br /> any legal action to attempt to compel IBC to undertake further remediation.at the Site would be subject to the <br /> automatic stay imposed by the Code. If,upon review,your counsel would like to discuss this matter further, <br /> they may contact me at the number above. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Edwin F.
