San Joaquin County • •V-Mflml OP 600 East Main Street Stockton, California 95202-3029 Website: www.sjgov.org/ehd Phone: (209) 468-3420 Fax: (209) 464-0138 February 12, 2008 Tadese Gebrehawariat, MS l OA -17 California Integrated Waste Management Board 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Enforcement Order Status Dear Mr. Gebrehawariat, DIRECTOR Donna Heran, REHS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR Laurie Cotulla, REHS PROGRAM COORDINATORS Carl Borgman, REHS Mike Huggins, REHS, RDI Margaret Lagorio, REHS Robert McClellon, REHS Jeff Carruesco, REHS, RDI y Foley, REHS The Environmental Health Department (EHD) has received your letter dated January 15, 2008. The letter requested the EHD provide the current status on enforcement orders issued at two sites, 39 -CR -0031 and 39 -CR -0033. Snyders Sanitary Garbage Disposal Site (39 -CR -0031) is a site that has several owners. The original site consisted of 60 acres. Currently there are four parcels known to contain waste from the Snyder dump site. One of those four was subject to later dumping by Bill Lane, previous land owner. In May 2004, the EHD issued a Notice and Order (N&O) 04-01 to the Environmental Filtration Trust, 23701 S. Santa Fe Road, APN 249-060-12. Subsequent to the issuance of N&O 04-01 the property owner changed to Virginia Beard Trust, et al. During a conference call on February 5, 2008, with California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) staff counsel Mr. Steve Levine, it was determined that Environmental Infiltration Trust could be liable for penalties for not complying with N&O 04-01. It is the belief of the EHD that the only asset the trust had was the property in question. Mr. Levine agreed that it may not be worthwhile to pursue penalties at this time. The EHD has re -started enforcement efforts at this property. On January 24, 2008, the EHD staff conducted an Administrative Office Hearing with the current owners of the property. The hearing agreement required the current owners to meet with the EHD staff to walk the site and discuss the outstanding compliance issues by February 15, 2008. During the meeting at the property the terms of the Stipulated Agreement will be negotiated and issuance of an agreement to follow within 30 days. The N&O 04-02 was issue to the Mc Anally, Helen, L£ Est., et al, 22865 South Henry Road, APN 249- 060-10. The property is one of the original four parcels that were impacted by the Snyders dump site. Recently the property has been subject to foreclosure by Holt of California.
