He agreed. 09/11/00—The file was referred to the District Attorneys Office. 09/25/00—Meeting with Gerald rector and Don Mann of the San Joaquin County Sheriffs Office. Mike Huggins, Alan Biederman, and Robert McClellon were present from the EHD. David Irey was also present for the San Joaquin County District Attorneys Office. The meeting was held at the site. Gerald Rector and Don Mann were trying to resolve the issues at the site. I explained that the property owners are under an Administrative Enforcement Order to clean up the property, secure the property and investigate the area that was suspected of having sub-surface disposal. I explained that the EHD referred the issue to the District Attorneys Office. David Irey explained that he would need to meet with the owners prior to him making any type of settlement. During the meeting it was noted that there had been some excavation on the property. There was a trench that started at the north end of the property and followed the east property line south to the south property line. The trench then turned west along the south property line and stopped just short of the west property line. The trench went through a pile of burned tires and ash. 03/08/01 —Onsite with District Attorney David Irey, Mike Huggins, Robert McClellon, Attorney Sherri Kirk of the Kirk Law Firm representing Delta funding. Jack Meranda of Prudential California Realty was also present. Jack Merenda was representing a potential buyer. Mr. Merenda was asking questions in regards to developing to the property for business. The site status was discussed during the meeting. The trench raised several concerns. One being that that the trench was excavated with out a plan and by a contractor that may not have been qualified, or trained to conducted the excavation in a safe manner. Another concern was that the excavation was excavated through a pile of burned tires and tire ash. The burned tires and tire ash can be considered hazardous waste. Other concerns were that the open excavation created a safety hazard and it exposed burn ash that may contain metals concentrations above hazardous waste levels. Robert McClellon an employee of the EHD informed Ms. Kirk that the trench would have to be backfilled and that a plan would need to be submitted prior to conducting the work. It was suggested that Delta Funding should hire a consultant to determine the extent of the buried waste. It stated that any site work would require a plan prior to conducting the work. The plan would require review and approval by the EHD. 03/21/01 —Received a phone call from Jack Merenda of Prudential California Realty. Mr. Merenda was concerned over a letter that the received in regards to the property. The letter was from Sherri Kirk Of the Kirk Law Firm. Mr. Merenda indicated that his client was a potential buyer and that the buyer did not want any involvement by the EHD after he purchased the property. He
