If you recall the site operator was doing some excavations to see if waste existed outside the closure <br /> cap. During excavation activities it was discovered that there was waste outside the closure cap. The area is in <br /> the Northeast corner of the property. The waste extends on to the adjacent parcel. The adjacent parcel belongs <br /> to Caltrans. Initially we (EHD, Calrecycle, RWQCB)wanted the area that was outside the closure cap to be <br /> closed as one project. Caltrans was not willing to accept any liability for the closure activities. Caltrans position <br /> was that they bought the land and did not know the waste was there and did not cause the waste to be placed <br /> there. They feel they are not responsible for closing it. They indicated that the county and maybe the City of Tracy <br /> (COT) are the responsible parties. The County Public Works Department Solid Waste Division (PWDSWD)was <br /> not willing to accept any liability for the closure cost on the adjacent parcel. The PWDSWD indicated that the COT <br /> was the operator at the time the waste was disposed of and that the COT and the current property owners <br /> (Caltrans)were responsible for the waste on the adjacent parcel. This is a civil issue and may require a court <br /> action for resolution. The PWDSWD has indicated that they would be willing to close their portion of the waste <br /> outside the closure cap, but only up to the property boundary. The violation for Final Cover has been issued for <br /> over 4 years to the PWDSWD and no progress has been made. I would like to see if there is some thing that can <br /> get this to the next phase. If Caltrans is not willing to sit down with PWDSWD to work out a solution to place a <br /> closure cap over both parcels then I think we should move forward and have PWDSWD close their side and then <br /> evaluate the options for further action from there.
