Box 2009 <br /> Stockton CA 95201 <br /> RE: SITE CODE # 1828 MAR 1h 7 1992 <br /> Dear Ms . Mea s ENVi Of��+l�,�N`��`��d�1�m��.��� <br /> y , PE�mI r '6 r\V-'I s 1 <br /> i <br /> Following professional consultation and guai�dance concerning <br /> the requirements of our site, we have prepared the enclosed <br /> Site Contamination Workplan for your review; and approval . We <br /> would very much like to proceed with contractual arrangements <br /> to put this plan into action in order �o begin the process of <br /> cleaning the site up to state and county standards . However, <br /> we are in an ongoing state of shock atlllthei�costs involved in <br /> characterizing the site and the estimated eventual costs of <br /> fully removing the toxics apparently present in the soil and 1 <br /> water. These costs are well beyond our financial resources . <br /> We are a small family business withoutjthe ��capital resources <br /> of ma3or corporations . With the warehouse at this location <br /> vacant for well over a year and the broader effects of the <br /> recession effecting our business , even .[the ;�initial site <br /> assessment herein proposed is beyond our means . Over the <br /> past three years we have expended over 11s 131000 . 001 with <br /> little progress to show for the work since the monitoring <br /> well is now dry. I <br /> In light of these hard realities , we are appealing to you to } <br /> cooperate with us in timing the forthcoming clean up steps to <br /> coincide with the availability of the LIST dlean Up Fund <br /> monies . As you know, we have applied for these monies and <br /> are awaiting word of our eligibility and priority status . We <br /> understand that word from them may be avaii�able by August at <br /> which time we might be able to obtain a short-term loan <br /> secured by the Fund' s commitment to pay soi�that work might be s <br /> able to proceed. At this time , no bank "will loan. money <br /> against the property because of the cor'tamrnation present. <br /> Because of this predicament, we find ourselves unable to <br /> specify a start date to the work plan. ; <br /> We would appreciate your taking the above circumstances into <br /> consideration when you advise us how to' proceed from here. <br /> We are eager to resolve this matter asl�soon as is practically <br /> possible . Thank you in advance for your k4nd understanding <br /> and guidance; we look forward to hearing Brom you. i <br /> Sincerely, I k <br /> Jonathan Marlowe ! <br /> JM: ce <br /> _rr <br />
