January 4, 1990, the 'responsible party", Bill Lane was instructed by the Districts Attorney <br />Office to remove all hazardous wastes and refuse from the subject property and concrete <br />and asphalt was still questionable as to whether it needed to be removed. It was pointed <br />out that there may be groundwater contamination and possible landfill migration. Mr. Lane <br />indicated he could not afforded to clean up the property however he did not deny that he <br />received gate fees of at least $12,000 to dump at his illegal landfill. <br />October 18, 1993, it was determined that nothing had been.done on the property, the <br />garbage had not been removed, and the case had been bankrupted. <br />December 6, 1994, EHD performed an annual drive-by inspection of the subject property <br />and found no sign of dumping, however, the inspector had concerns about garbage and <br />different materials being scattered and stored on the property and not being properly <br />disposed. <br />April 17, 1995, EHD performed an annual inspection and found salvaging of large amounts <br />of products taking place and garbage had not been removed since the previous December <br />6, 1994 inspection. <br />May 27, 1998, the EHD, via telephone, contacted the CIWMB requesting assistance. <br />June 3, 1998, the CIWMB, EHD, and Code Enforcement personnel inspected the subject <br />site and took photographs documenting the observed violations. (Appendix A). <br />June 12, 1998, EHD personnel documented in their Activity/Action Log of the Bill Land IDS: <br />"It appears that there is solid waste disposal on both Bill Lane and Lynch property and that <br />the CIWMB is interested in cleanup of both sites." <br />November 4, 1998, EHD personnel performed a site inspection and documented violations. <br />February 8, 1999, EHD personnel performed a site inspection to document clean up <br />progress and noted that no clean up work had been done. <br />April 6, 1999, a Notice and Order (to Abate) was issued by the EHD to Bill Lane, owner of <br />the subject property, to cease and desist any further unauthorized disposal of <br />solid/hazardous waste, remove all unauthorized solid/hazardous waste from the subject <br />property and to submit a detailed plan and schedule for compliance with cited violations. <br />Based on an August 15, 1990 report by the County of San Joaquin Office of Emergency <br />Services, the Bill Lane IDS was investigated to evaluate whether a fire burning near that <br />location involved hazardous materials or waste. The report indicated that a fire was <br />observed burning on the west side of the property and as observed from inside the vehicle, <br />drums and storage tanks and an orange compressed gas cylinder were observed <br />approximately 100 feet from the burning materials. Reportedly, a fire had been burning at <br />the site beginning July 16, 1990. The following materials and items mixed in among soil, <br />construction debris and other garbage in the burning or smoldering areas was observed <br />during the August 15, 1990 site inspection: ash and burn material; soil; wood debris; broken <br />pieces of concrete; sections of plastic PVC pipe; truck and auto tires; three, partially <br />crushed 55 -gallon capacity chemical drums containing residues of an amber colored oil, <br />(these drums had manufacturing labeling indicating the original contents were lube oils);. <br />four, 5 -gallon capacity blue plastic containers of Delco 100 Chevron Oil which held small <br />quantities of residues; three, 5 -gallon capacity white plastic containers with visible white <br />1-15 <br />
