BROOKS WOODC11AFT QUALITY UNFINISHED FURNITURE 2087 SANTA BARBARA AVE. 0 PHONE 544-2505 • SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIF. 93401 FURNITURE FINISHING yt FREE DELIVERY December 17, 1987 Carl Hysen Chairman San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors COWIDENTIA ' Dear Mr Hysen, In February of 1978 I purchased from the county the old county yard on Santa Barbara St adjacent to my busines B, Brooks Woodcraft. The yard and old metal buildings have been very useful to me. At the time of the transaction I was aware of the two abandoned underground fuel tanks on the property. They had been used by San Luis Obispo County when the yard iwas active and before the facility was moved to the Camp San Luis Obispo property. The tanks have never been used by me. In recien t years wetve ` all read in the media that all old abandoned fuel tanks should be removed. In September of this year, 1987, I contracted with the Negranti Construction Co. from Caycucos (they specialize in tank removal) to remove the tanks.Their bid for the job including backfill was $2963.00. They had to apply for a tank removal permit from the San Luis Obispo City Toxic Waste Agency through the SIA fire Dept, Mr Randy Miller in charge. On Sept.30th the Negranti donst. Co., equipment and crew were on site with Mr Randy Miller in attendance. The first few deep scoops of the backhoe exposed a strong toxic smell and Ur Miller distributed nose mask to all the crew. He asked me to call a chemical analys company to take samples on site as the digging continued and to call a representive from the county as he said the tanks were last used by the county. Mr George Rnsenberger from county property management was called and came on site. The Chemical Research Laboratories Inc fron Santa Maria were called and an engineer from their Co. arrived on site. As near as Iacan recall the tanks hadn't been used for sixteen years, but the toxcidity was as prevelent as if the tanks had been used yesterday. As of this date I've paid the origional w2963.00 plus t.677.88 to Negranti Cnast. for the overaged due to the complexity and standby on the job and still have two huge holes and a yard full of dirt. I've paid the Chemical Research Laboratory $3,541.00 for their multi page chemical analysis of the site. Mr Randy Miller has kept the county property management dept. informerd of the chemical reports and proceedings. The site has beenleft open for two and one half monthsnow to aerate the exposed holes and dirt. At this point another agency or firm has to to state standards and backfill. cont. 2 Every channel I've checked with is of the opinion that the removal of the toxidity is the responsibility of the agency or persons who owned the property at the time of the contamination, in this case, the- County of San Luis Obispo. i. Since I knew of the tanks existance when I purchased the property, but not the toxidity, I feel I should pay the'urigional tank removal The of $2963.00, but nothing since or to be incured including the S3,541.00 chemical annalys charge and the overage charge on the origional contract to Negranti const. of S677.88. As a taxpaying concerned citizen of San Luis Obispo County, I am interested in keeping this clean up charge at a minimum. mum. Having three quarters of the service yard closed off is very inconvenient, but not an emergency situation. if on site clean up is more economical but takes more time, then I'm in Favor of it. I'm hopsing to hear from the county soon as the rains are turning that eleven foot deep pit into a green contaminated water nwimi.ng pool. N Sincerly,
