SOS 2094683694 07/29/04 06:16pm P. 001 <br /> July 14, 2004 <br /> Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger <br /> State Capitol <br /> Sacramento, CA 95814 <br /> Dear Sir: <br /> I am writing on behalf of my 83 year-old widowed mother with respeci to a grave injustice <br /> being inflicted upon her by the Environmental Health Department, San Joaquin County. <br /> In April 1986, Mr, and Mrs. Duncan B. Keir purchased the property at 1601 Turnpike, <br /> Stockton, CA. In October 1986, M.T. Keir .removed an underground tank under the <br /> direction of the EHD resulting in a certification declaiing the property suitable free of <br /> contamination. Please note that the tank was not installed or used by Mr. or Mrs. Keir, <br /> only removed. A company named Turnpike Associates installed the tank. <br /> Mr, Keir died in 1997 and Mrs. Keir sold the property two years later. <br /> Now the EHD has deemed that the property does contain an unacceptable amount of <br /> contaminants and that Mrs. Keir is solely responsible for the cleanup. Mrs. Keir has <br /> contacted an attorney to help her through this situation. In a letter to the EHD, her <br /> attorney stated that "it's not fair to name a party that had not contributed to the <br /> contamination and omit the party who most likely caused the contamination". Ms. <br /> Lagorio with the EHD responded that 'life wasn't fair" and ultimately refused to name <br /> Turnpike Associates, or any other parry,in any capacity. <br /> We ask for your help in this situation, as well as, help from the people to who we have <br /> copied this letter. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> Jan Keir <br /> cc: Dennis Cardoza <br /> Jeff Denham <br /> George Radanovich <br /> David Cogdill <br /> Barbara Boxer <br /> Dianne Feinstein <br /> Call 3 <br /> SICVen-Gat'ierrez- <br />
