Many of our records are filed by DBA, facility and/or business names but we could find no records corresponding to the addresses you have provided.

While researching your request we did locate records of a similar contamination at a site on East Brundage Lane in Bakersfield. Records for 411 East Brundage lane are available; however, the department is conducting open and on-going investigations at 407 and 409 East Brundage. Records of those investigations contain the analysis and conclusions of the investigating officers and are privileged under Evidence Code Section 1040. If these are the documents that you seek they are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act, particularly Government Code sections 6254 and 6255.. Any request for records at 407 or 409 East Brundage will be denied; however, if any investigation results in action being taken to hold a hearing or impose legal sanctions against the facility, its owner or operator, the hearing and documents considered at the hearing would be public record. If you have additional information which you can provide to assist us in locating departmental records for the locations/addresses you seek, please feel free to contact me at (805) 861-3435. It is our desire to provide the requested records if they can be located and are not exempt. Sin~..~rely, / Susan Gonzales '¥ .~ ~ . '-.
