Mr. Robert Ching February 9, 1990 Page 3 included required Report of Disposal Site Information (11RDSI" (Exhibit 4). The RDSI states that disposal of automobile demolition wastes at the site began in 1973. [,] In the course of issuing the permit, the County and Waste Board made several findings of fact. (Exhibit 5). These included (1) a finding of fact that "Operations and design [of the site] immediately prior to August 15, 197[7] were as specified" in the RDS I s ( q 1(B)) , and ( 2 ) a finding of fact that "this site was established before August 18, 197411 (I 1(E))• Id. The Waste Board's decision on the permit in 1979 specifically_ found that the site was an "existing facility" and that 1973 Tomas the 11 -date operations commenced., (Exhibit 6) . The County permit apparently was not actually issued until over two years after California Clay filed its application. During this time, the site was sold to Cove Contractors, Inc., the present owner. In July 1979, shortly before the s issued, California Clay applied to transfer the permitto Cove, which transfer was approved. (Exhibit 7). 92nd In short, these documents, which we obtained from the files of the Waste Board on this site, clearly establish_ that Cove's site has been operated as a landfill since 1973, four years before annexation by the City. All appropriate permits and governmental authorizations were obtained at the required time. We therefore request your confirming letter that Cove is a "legal nonconforming use," and that no discretionary permits are necessary from the City for the contemplated operations above. I would appreciate your direct' behalf of Dove. Please give ma a directing this letter to me on have an call at (213) 689-7507 if you t y Questions or comments.
