Barton: <br /> This letter is being sent to you to update you on the status of <br /> environmental activities at the above-referenced site. We met with Frank <br /> and John Guinta on November 1, 2004 to discuss this case and find out <br /> their situation for funding further work at the site. <br /> The Guinta's are having a difficult time finding any form of funding to <br /> continue on-going investigation and remediation for the site. They believe <br /> that the best chance to obtain the necessary funds is to be able to sell the <br /> property to the current operator at the site. However, the current <br /> operator at the site has not been able to secure a loan due to the current <br /> environmental case. To go along with your letter of September 1, 2004, it <br /> may be helpful for a buyer if a comfort letter could be written holding t h e <br /> buyer and the buyer's lenders harmless for any hydrocarbons that may <br /> exist on the property prior to the completion of the sale. The Guintas, of <br /> course, would retain liability for the off-site contamination and on-going <br /> monitoring in this case. The Guinta's believed that they could scrape <br /> together the money needed to continue the groundwater monitoring a n d <br /> off-site treatment system maintenance through at least the next quarter. <br /> Regarding the off-site assessment to the north, it is our understanding <br /> that a water-line is to be installed up Airport Blvd during the next 12 to 16 <br /> months. The availability of city water to all of the residence that are or <br /> could be impacted downgradient of the site should make the investigation <br /> to the north of less importance. Since (a) MTBE concentrations in t h e <br /> most impacted domestic wells have been decreasing, (b) wellhead <br /> 208 L1' El Finlodo, UbnvA'e, Colifoinio 96526 • 925-8249391 P Fck <br />
