Dates of Alleqed Offenses: Approximately 5-18-87 to present. Case Summarv: In August of i988 Jan~s Lehman of the Kern County Heaith Department (KCHD) inet with ;wo secret witnesses who are current employees of Hopper, inc. They described many violations of both the Hazardous Waste and Underground Tank Laws that were allegedly occurring at Hopper. These alleged violations included: Underground tanks knowingly a'Oandoned witnou~ permits after a ~CHD inspection in i987. ~ Faisifie~ records S. Mnown leaking underground tanks. improper disposal of hazardous wastes. The secret witnesses supplied detailed locations of the alleged vioia~ions~ and a ilst of people who ~new about the alleged violations and could substantla'~e these claims. On October 17~ 1988 Richarm Casagrande and Janis Lehman of the Kern County Health Department made a partial inspection of the . .- ~ac;n , ~ susDec~ Hopper z ~ities located at 301 Es~ee St , 31~ Kentucky ~...~+ and Union and Espee S~_ee'ts in Bakers~d-~ ..

Lindeboom '.produced receipts for the cement, and for the pumping company who poured the cement. Hopper, inc. Page 2 She stated that this tank was knowingly illegally abandoned under the direction of the Plant Manager, Tom Hart. She also stated, upon questioning, that Mr. Hart had ordered Richard Gilpin to falsify the underground tank monitoring records. The next inspection was conducted at 3ii Kentucky Street. Gail LindeDoom, upon questioning at the Espee facility,~stated that there was an underground tank at this, the Kentucky St.~ facility that had been abandoned without a permit, under ~om Hart's ~_ec,~on, because ~t was known to be leaking. At this site, the KCHD saw what appeared to be the fill pipe for an underground tank. This pipe was locked. The Kern County Health Department also noted waste piles that were stated to be by-products from the manufacturing of acetylene. The third inspection 10-!7-88 was a quick drive by of the Hopper facility located at the corner of Union and Espee, where Lindeboom had stated that there was an unpermltted underground tan~. The facility was fenced, but Lehman saw a round manhole cover in the parking lot. Further investigation at ~' ~ ~n~s site is necessary. AlleGed Offenses~ ..

Secuence of investiqation: May i8, ~987 Janls Lehman of the Kern County Health Department made routine inspections of the underground tanks at the Hopper facilities located at 301Espee St., $11Xentucky St., and 2700 "Q" St. in BaKersfield, California. The Permit to Operate (P.T.C.) for the facility at 301 Espee St. (See exnio~ ~) stated mha~ there were three underground fuel tanks. This information was provided on the Permit to Operate Appilca~ion filed with this department by Tom Hart, dated March ~9, 985. ~see exhibit ~2). At 'tn~s inspectlon it was stated bv Hopper employee Bud McNeely that this diesel tan~ :vas unused and that ~he ~!i 'biDe was welded shut. -t appeared to Lehman that McNeeiy could not open ~he~==~'i _biDe_ . Lehman explained to McNeeiy, and later to Mr. Hart, that the fill pipe would have to 'be opened in or,er to check the status of the tank. r.ehman -,- '--~ ~ =f the tank had .... e,~p~..e~ that = no~ been previousiv a'oandcaed :.zn~er the Fire Deoartmenz s culdeiines Chat the ~ ~"- .

Lehman briefly explained the abandonmenu proce=ures to Mr. Kart, Mr. McNeeiy and gal= Lindeboom, the Administrative. Assista.nt. The P.T.0. ~or the facility at S!i Kentucky St. stated tha~ there were two tanks at this facility. (See exhibit ~3). This information was provided on the ~ ~ 0 ~- : . ..... _ Qe~a_ ~me__~ ~op~ication filed with this - -~ ~' by ?om Hart, dazed Marc~ 29, 1985. (See exhibit 4). Hopper, Inc. Page 8 May 18, 1987 Cont. At this inspection it was stated by McNee]y, and later Hart, that the ?.T.O. was incorrect that there was only one underground tank at this site and not two, as the P.T.O. listed. Lehman was told by Hart that the above ground tank had been registered inadvertently. When Lehman asked about the two dispensers she was told by Hart that one of the dispensers was for the above ground tank. Lehman was told by Hart that the P.T.O. was incorrect. Lehman stated on the inspection report that the gas tank was above ground and should therefore be taken off the permit. Tom Hart signed this report. (See exhibit #5). The facility at 2700 "Q" St. had a waste oil tank ~na~ had overflowed and needed to be Dumped out (See exhibit #6). SeptemDer ~~ 1987 Lehman of the Kern County Health Department made The re-inspecTions of the underground tanks at the three aforementioned Hopper facilities. At the 301EsDee St. facility the fill pipe of the "unused" tank was opened by a Hopper employee. Lehman verifie~ that the tank was filed with material by placing a gauging stick in the fill pipe. At the facility at 311 Kentucky St. the overfill box on the diesei tank had been insra!~ea. <ne fac~ ~ity at o'lO0 "Q" st, the waste oil ~ank had 'seen pumpec ou~ and Lehman was a'Sie to verify that the tank had a cement overfill box. Lehman met with Hart and asked if there were any records as to when the ~ank at Espee St had been filled with cement. Hart said no, he knew of no records, it had been done before he had come to Hopper. He said that he could find no Fire Department records, either. Hopper, Inc. Page 9 August !i, 1988 Amy Green received a call from an anonymous caller wanting to speak with Janis Lehman. They told her that the underground tank at 30i Espee St; had been filled with concrete after Janis Lehman's facility inspection and that a tank located at 31i Kentucky St. has leaked gas and is not under permit. August 19, 1988 3anis Lehman and Ann 3oyce met with the District Attorney to discuss this case and how to proceed. August 19, 1988 An anonymous caller,, using a code name wanted to meet with Jan!s Lehman 5o give additional information on possible hazardous Waste Violations at the Hopper facilities. August~ ~2, 1988 Lehman met with secret witnesses. ~heI heieed her to draw a map o~ ~ne Hopper facilities which inci~ded locations o~ the alleged violations, m¼~,v.~.~. also suppiie~ a list of witnesses wlno wouid be able to substantiate their claims. The secret witnesses claimed t~at: The floor drains at 30i Espee St. emptied into a canal, and that paint t'ninners, oil, and ~uei were disposed of down the drains ?~e~ claimed that when foaming agents were Cisposed of down ~he drains, zo~m could be seen on the canal waters. ~ney also claime~ that aDpro:<imately 6 ~e=~s ago Roy a_ res ~ed for z~&egai then plant manage_~, was ~ · ~ ' ' - disposal of a hazardous ma~e~ax down these drains. Hopper, inc. Page i0 August 22, 1988 On the Kern County Health Department's (Lehman's) first routine inspection on May I?, 1987, Tom Hart told Bud McNeeiy to say that the fill pipe on the middle underground tan~ at 30! Espee St. was welded shut, and therefore that tank could not be monitored. Tom Hart then had the Tank~ied with 5 sack slurry sand purchased from Calmat of Bakersfield ana pumped into the tank 'Dy Cordova's concrete on June i7, i987. 3~ Tom H~r~ ordered Richard Giipein to falsify the underground tank monitoring records. 4 The filters for a runoff basin at 301Espee St' had been removed thus allowing paint, paint thinners, and oil to discharge directly into the sewer system. 6 Two underground tanks ex/st aT 311 Kentucky St., and that Tom Har~ s~a~ed on May 17, 1987, that only one existed because he knew that the second one was leaking. Hart knew the second one was leaking because he had Bud McNeely and another man fill it wi~h fuel to determine if i~ iea~ed. The men determined that Ehe tank did indeed leak, and reported it ~o Hart, who then ordered the tank evacuated and closed. Harl told ~cNeely and Lindeboom Eo tell the Kern County Health Deparumen~ that the tank did no~ exisT. Waste pi'les ~rom ~he manufacturing of acetylene were hazardous, ~ + ~.~,a~ they had caused burns on the arms o~ a worker. A~gust ~ ~6, 1988 Janis Lehman called the phone number that a secret witness gave 'net, ti%e secre~ witness, using Ehe code name, answered the phone. Lehman asked for additional information on the floor drains tha~ supposedly emptied into the canal. The witness said that they did no~ have any additional information. Hopper, Inc. Page il September 6, 1988 A secret witness called to check on the case's progress. October 17, 1988 Richard Casagrande and Janis Lehman made an inspection of the Hopper facilities located at 30! Espee St. and 312 Kentucky St. in Bakersfield, California. Casagrande and Lehman arrived at the facility at approximately 3:30 pm. The guard called Tom Hart's office and we were met by his assistant, Gaii Lindeboom. Casagrande and Lehman explained to Lindeboom the purpose of the inspection, that the KCHD had information that their records may not be correct. Lehman asked Linde0oom if there was any documentation as to when the underground tank at 301 Espee St., located 'oetween the regular and unleaded underground tanks, had been filled with cement. She said that yes, there was Cocumentation, and-she Took 'us into Kamen 3ohnson's office, and went to the files Oenind Jonnson's desk and removed two sheets of paper and handed them to us. They were receipts for Cordova's ~onc_ete Pumping Service dated June 17, 1987 (see exhibit #7), and for Caima~ ~om 5 sacks o~ sand slurry, dated June 17, 1987. (See exhibit #8). Lindeboom said that the abandonment of the tank was done under Tom Hart's direction and that Hart knew he needed permits to abandon the tanks. Hopper, Inc. Page i 2 October 17, 1988 Cont. Casagrande inspected the tank in question and also verified that it was filled with material. Lindeboom stated that the fill had never been welded shut. That she and McNeeiy were told to say that under Hart's orders. When asked if there were other improperly abandoned tanks on Hopper property she said that she knew of 2 more. One tank is located in the driveway of Union and Espee Streets at the medical supply building, and the other tank is located at 311 ~entucky St. Lindeboom said that Bud McNeeiy, the maintenance manager, told Hart this tank was ~eaking. Lehman asked if there we're any monitoring records on either of these two tanks. Lindeboom said that the regular tank at 30i Espee St. was showing problems in the monitoring records. The Kern County Health Department asked to see the records. Lindeboom said that Hart had ordered Richard Giipien, the person in charge o~ gauging The tanks, 'Co ma~e sure the monitoring records "came out" Lindeboom said that this had been going on with the records flor a year, but that since Gilpien has 'seen on strike,since August, Mike Smith has been doing the records correctly. Lindeboom said that monitoring records using Smith's gauging showed that the ~ ':' . ~an~s may be leaking The ~ern County Health Department inspected the underground tank monitoring records for August 1988. (See exhibit ~9). The records showed the reconciliation numbers (the amounts over or short) where on the order of tenths per gallon. The records for September showed daily, weekly, and monthly losses that exceeded the monitoring requirements for the P.~.O. (See exhibit #I01. These reportable variations were no~ reported to this department, as required by the P.T.O., by Hopper. Mike Smith, the maintenance manager, was called by LindeOoom and was present while the ~CHD was reviewing the monitoring records. Lindeboom tried to contact Hart also, but he was unavailable at the time. Hopper, inc. Page i3 October 17, 1988 Cont. Richard Casagrande, 3anis Lehman, Gail Lindeboom, and Mike Smith drove over to the Hopper facility at 31i Kentucky St. An apparent fill pipe to an underground tank was found near the shed on the east side of the property. This pipe was secured with a dusty Master Lock number 5 that had the lock serial numbers scratched off. Smith did not have a key for the locK. Smith went and asked Roy Nell, the facility foremen, for a key. Smith came back and told us that Nell had said that he did not have a key, and that we would have to ask Hart for one. Casagrande, Lehman, Lindeboom and Smith went into Neil's office. Nell stated that Hart was the only one who knew anything about the underground tanks. Neii said that he had been a manager for 3 years, and that Hart always came down and took care of the tanks. As we were leaving this facility a man on strike handed Lehman a note about the fuel tank filled wi~h cement in the main yard. The no~e said that the tank nad been leaking fuei and abandoned improperiy. (See exhibit We returned to $01 Espee St. where Casagrande and Lehman met with Hart. LindeDoom left ~he room make copies of monltoring records that the KCHD had requested. Casagrande asked Hart how many underground tanks were at 311 Kentucky St. Hart repiie~ that the diesel tank was the only one tha~ ke knew about. Casagrande aske~i Hart how many underground tanks, combined~ were on ail of the Hopper facilities. Hart replied that there were four in all. Casagrande askee Hart about the tank filled with cement at 3ii Espee St. Hart said that this tan~ nad been filled with cement prior to working a~ Hopper~ and that he had been at Hopper eigh~ years. Hart sta~ed that ne has abandoned no tanks, and that the company has abandoned no tanks since he has been there. Hart stated that the fill to the tank at Espee St. had been welded shut, and that it was opened aue tc 3anis' inspection, and that the tank was filled with cement. Hopper, Inc.

October 20, !988 Gaii Lindeboom from Hopper came to the KCHD. She state~ that Hopper woui~ like to abandon the regular tank at 301Espee St., and would therefore request not to have to tightness test the tank. Lindeboom gave Lehman a copy of the KCHD's variation/loss investigation report that had been partially completed.

P.O. Box 2900 Bakersfield, CA 93303 Atto: Bill Loughry Dear Mr. Loughry: After careful review of the reportable inventory variations at your facility located at 2700 "Q" Street (Permit #060015C), this Department has concluded that these results axe due to a history of low throughput. This letter is to advise you that you will be granted a "provisional exemption" from the standard reporting described in your permit packet. Our preliminary information indicates that a change in reportable variations is necessary when the throughput of a tank is less than 2,000 gallons per. week and less than ,10.000 gallons per month. The accompanying "Low-Throughput Tank Reporting Outline" describes these changes. A revised action chart and an example of a changed summary sheet (on the back of inventory reconciliation worksheet) have also been enclosed for your convenience. Please make these changes on your worksheets for weeks in which you have low throughput. Be advised that this provisional exemption is subject to change as further data becomes available to the Environmental Health Depaml~ent. If, however, a listed tank at any time exceeds the defined low-throughput amounts, you must revert to compliance with the original reporting requixements. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence I can be reached at (805) 861-3636 between 8 am - 9 am.

Dear Rlchard: We wish to make a final determination on the Hopper's Inc., referral, specifically, what is or is not actionable at present. I understand that the status relative to the potential disposal of hazardous waste allegations may have altered based upon the fact that samples were not taken during the site inspection. I am requesting a meeting in our office at a mutually convenient time during the week o£ February 6, 1989, preferably February 7 or 8, 1989. Please bring with you any documentation or information which your staff has compiled subsequent to our last meeting on this matter. Please have the appropriate personnel from your staff present so that we may come to some final resolution on this matter. Thank you for your cooperation in this regard. Sincerely, EDWARD R.

M.D. DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Vernon S. Reichard December 5, 1988 Victor Hopper P. O. Box 2900 Bakersfield, California 93303 Dear Mr. Hopper: Upon inspection and investigation of underground hazardous' substance storage tan~s located on the Hopper facilities at 301 EsDee Street and 311 Kentucky Street, this department has determined that there may be a significant amount of soil contamination present at these sites and that said contamination would present a threat to the environment and the groundwaters of the state. You are hereby Ordered to perform a preliminary assessment at the above referenced facilities within ? days ~rom receipt of this Notice and Order. Th~s assessment shall incorporate the excavation of the tank tops, the use of a slant drilling rig for soil samD'~e retrieval, the classification of the soils encountered, and the analysis of the samples by a State Certified hazardous waste laboratory. A copy o~ these test results must be submitted the Kern County Health Department within 3 weeks from the date oS this Notice and Order. The drilling date for the soil sample retrieval must be confirmed with this department within 3 days ~rom the receipt of this Notice and Order. The two specific areas concern, an~ the specific scope of work ~or this project are as foiiows: Areas of Concern: Location 1: 301Espee Street, BaKersfield Center underground fuel storage filled with cement. (See map one) tank Location 2: 311 Kentucky St., Bakersfield Apparent underground fuel tank east of the g~rator shed. (See map two) Victor Hopper December 5, 1988 Page 2 Scope o~ work: 1. In the presence of a representative from the Kern County Health Department, the top six inches of the tanks must be exposed within 24 hours prior to drilling in order to determine the direction in which the tanks lie and their burial depth. 2. The samples must be retrieved by a drilling rig that has both angle drilling capacities and a continuous flight hollow stem auger with a split spoon sampler. It will also be advantageous to retain a drilling rig that will be small enough to maneuver under the canopy at 301Espee Street. 3. Samples must be retrieved at a minimum of five and ten feet below the tank bottoms, one-third of the way in from each end, and also any other reguested by the Kern County Health Department. It will be necessary to slant drill these borings so that samples may be retrieved underneath the ~anks. At the location on Espee Street, a vertical boring must be advanced in an area between the canal and tne underground hazardous suDstance storage tank. The boring must be not more than ten feet from the tank and to a depth of approximately 40 feet. Samples must be retrieved for analysis every ten feet or more frequently if the soil type or apparent contaminan~ concentration should change. Sample locations may be modified in the field only with ~ern County Health 'Department approval. 4. The soils encountered during drilling must be classified by an experienced geologist utilizing the Unified Soils Classification System. Victor Hopper December 5, 1988 Page 3 5. The samples must be collected by qualified personnel, such as a technician from a laboratory, and a spii~ o~ the sample must be provided to the Kern County Health Department. 6. The soil samples must be analyzed for benzene, toluene, zyiene, ethyl benzene, and total peEroieum hydrocarbons (using both a diesel and a gasoline standarG). The above required scope of work is necessary for the proper initial assessment o~ contamination at both locations, and based on the evaiua~ion of the results by the Kern County Health Department anG appropriate state agencies, further work in site assessment and characterization may be necessary. you have any questions, please call either Richard Casagranae or myself at (806) 861-3636.

Narration: I phoned Bill Loughry and asked him to answer a few questions we still had' after inspecting Hopper, Inc., on November 6, 1990. I asked him to clarify how the paint sludge waste was disposed. Loughry stated Richard Struble would load and drive the drum truck to the landfill after Hopper had 4 - 5 drums of paint chips or dried sludge. The chips and dried sludge were dumped out of the drums into the back of the dump truck and then disposed at the China Grade Landfill. This was done so landfill personal would not know what was being dumped. I asked what happens to the sludge after the first run in the distiller, he stated the sludge is dried by placing it in trays on top of the drums in the Hazardous Waste Storage area. After the paint sludge is dried it is placed in drums for storage then disposed of at the landfill. I asked Loughry why no analysis was run on the material. He said, "1 told Tom Hart that it was needed", But Hart stated he didn't think it was necessary and wouldn't do it. Loughry also stated he had spoken with Mike Theroux of the Kern County Environmental Health Services Department (KCEHSD), Solid Waste Program on a few occasions regarding what was required before their paint waste could be taken to the landfill. He also stated Theroux required the waste be analyzed and the analysis sent to the (KCEHSD), attention Mike Theroux. The waste was never analyzed and submitted as required. I asked who was responsible for maintaining the MSDS sheets at Hopper. Loughry had the responsibility of maintaining the MSDS sheets on all products in the paint shop and he knew that most of the paints used contained heavy metals. DS:ch starkey\hopper.3 Narration of A Complaint Inspection Date of Report: November 9, 1990 Narration By: Dan Starkey Location of Inspection: Hopper Inc., 301 Espee Street Bakersfield, Ca. 93301 Date of Inspection: November 6, 1990 9:00 A.M. Contacts: Tom Hart (Plant Manager) Dennis Johnson (Paint Shop Foreman) Reporting Person: Bill Loughry (Former Health and Safety Director at Hopper Inc.) Responsible Party: Hopper Inc. Narration: Joe Canas, Mike Driggs and I, of the Hazardous Materials Management Program conducted a complaint inspection at Hopper Inc., located at 301 Espee Street, Bakersfield, California at 9:00 A.M. on November 6, 1990. Tom Hart, plant manager, met us in front of the office. We introduced ourselves and asked if we could perform a facility inspection. Mr. Hart said "yes" and then showed us around the facility. Violations were observed when we inspected the hazardous waste storage area. The waste storage area was not properly designated as a hazardous waste storage area. Within the waste storage area, were twenty-three (23) fifty-five (55) gallon drums, one overpack drum and 1-400 gallon portable tank containing waste paint sludge and thinner. There were three 55 gallon drums containing reclaimed thinner and approximately 10 drums which contained dried residue of the sludge waste. The Hazardous Waste stickers on these drums containing residue had been ground off. The drums and tank containing the waste sludge and thinner were not properly labeled as flammable. The reclaiming still is used to distill waste thinner and is located within the hazardous waste storage area. The still has been in operation since February 1990. Tom Hart described the distillation process that is used to reclaim the used thinner. The distiller has the'ability to reclaim a batch of thinner in 24 hours. The distillation chamber is lined with a bag that must be changed after each batch is run. The used thinner is distilled and the remaining sludge is placed into another container to be reclaimed at a higher temperature. Since the process has been working, which according to Hart is 6 months, the waste sludge and solids have been accumulating. No waste barrels have an accumulation date past September 7, 1990, and no hazardous waste manifests have been utilized at this facility since March 20, 1989, for the paint thinner and sludge waste. The drums in the Hazardous Waste Storage Area had accumulation dates on them as follows: 9/7, 9/18, 9/30, 10/3, 10/20, 10/27, 10/29, etc. Hart was asked what they did with the paint waste. He stated that the dried paint was taken to the Kern County China Grade landfill. Joe Canas asked Hart if Hopper had analyzed the waste to determine if it was hazardous, Hart said" no". Hart was asked if Hopper maintained any records on the amount of waste they produced. Hart stated that no records were maintained that indicate the amount of waste thinner and paint sludge that has gone through the distillation process. Driggs took pictures of the Hazardous Waste Storage Area. Canas and Hart looked through the Hazardous Waste Manifests and Training Records. Driggs and I interviewed Dennis Johnson regarding his knowledge about the Hazardous Waste handling practices of the Paint Shop which he manages. Interview: Johnson stated he has been the Paint Shop manager for about 6 months. He manages 8 people in the Paint Shop. He stated the Hazardous Waste reporting and record keeping was handled by Bill Loughry before he took over the duties. Since that time no records have been kept. He said I'd have to talk to Hart about the records. The reclaiming still was installed in February, but did not operate for a few months because the chiller was not installed. He also stated that when he took over the hazardous waste area there were approximately 40 drums in storage. He stated that they have distilled approximately 25 drums since the distiller has been operating and Hopper Inc. has not manifested any waste off site for approximately 1 year. When asked about the 1 year gap between removal of waste and installation of the distiller he said "1 don't know". When asked to describe the handling practices of the paint waste, he stated: Paint filters are placed under water for 24 hours and then sealed in plastic bags and disposed at China Grade Landfill. 2. Paint scrapings from the Binks paint booths go to the landfill. The still is operated for 24 hours and then when the bag of residue and sludge is removed it is placed into drums to be reclaimed a second time at a higher temperature. When asked if they have ever redistilled the residue paint sludge at a higher temperature, he stated no. No analysis has ever been run on the waste taken to the landfill. Johnson also stated that he has had no training in Hazardous Waste Management and does not know the laws regulating hazardous waste. However he has placed all the hazardous waste tags on the drums in the storage area. He stated he had taken over that job in September, 1990, the month that Loughry was fired. All drums now show dates after Bill Lowery was fired. Canas and Hart rejoined us and at that time Hart said "if Hopper, had violated any laws it was the storage of Hazardous Waste longer than 90 days, so they could distill the waste thinner and save Hopper money". We left Hopper, Inc. facility at 11:30 A.M.

Tom told me to stay out of the shops, get me a magtzine to read and stay in my office.

Narration: Mr. Loughry stated he had worked for Hopper on two different occasions. The first was from August of 1975, to January of 1984, and the last time was from November of 1988, to September 12, 1990. Mr. Loughry's job duties as Safety and Training Officer were to oversee all environmental and safety aspects as they applied to the facility. He was in charge of OSHA, underground tanks, and hazardous waste compliance. Bill Loughry stated that the reason he was terminated was because he continued to bring the violations to the attention of his supervisor Plant Manager Tom Hart. He was not sure that his concerns were being relayed to Frank Hopper III, Executive Vice President. After his discussions with Hart Loughry met with Frank Hopper III on two separate occasions. During those meetings Hopper made it clear that Hart had passed the information along, but he stated that money was tight and they would get to the hazardous waste problem as soon as they could. During this time the Bottle Blasting portion of Hopper was to be sold to Liquid Air and management did not want Loughry to make waves. Hopper's response to Loughry's concerns was to construct a bermed containment area where the hazardous waste would be stored. Loughry stated that he was aware of the following violations at the Hopper facility: Illegal storage of Hazardous Waste beyond the 90 day limit. Loughry kept records of the accumulation time and informed management that 22 drums had exceeded the limit on November 15, 1989. 2. No analysis had been run on the material in the drums. Drums are maintained without lids, and high-boiling-point organics are allowed to volatilize. Hopper had no operational permits for 2 - industrial Binks paint booths from the Air Pollution Control District (APCD). Clarifier sludge from the steam cleaning rack is pumped into the sewer at the Truck ShOp located at 2700 "Q" Street. Illegal disposal of Hazardous Waste. Up to 80 drums were in storage until February of 1990, When 25-30 drums (of solids) were taken to a local landfill. Richard Struble a sweeper loaded and drove the Hopper dump truck. Loughry gave us copies of various internal memos and records that he had kept regarding the hazardous waste violations and they are attached to this report. Hopper Inc.

DS:ch starkey\hopper Hopper, Inc. Page 14 October i?, 1988 Cont. Casagrande asked Hart to check on the status of all possible underground tanks. Casagrande and Lehman left the site at approximately 4:00 pm. October 20, 1988 Gall Lindeboom from Hopper came to the KCHD. She stated that Hopper would like to abandon the regular tank at 301Espee St., and would therefore request not to have to tightness test the tank. Lindeboom gave Lehman a copy of the KCHD's variation/loss investigation report that had been partially completed. (See exhibit #12) Lehman issued a Notice of Violation and Order to Comply which stated that the regular fuel tank must be tightness tested within 24 hours or a completed abandonment application must be submitted within 14 days.

Shields Avenue "Fresno, CA 93727 Dear Sir: Pursuant to our conversation of May 11, 1982, I am informing you of the paint sludge disposal situation at Hopper Inc., 301 Espee Street, Bakersfield~ 93301. Hopper plans to send paint sludges to a plant in Tijuana, B.C. The enclosed letter will show that Hopper's trucks will take the sludges from Bakersfield to Burbank where they will be off-loaded, reloaded onto an as yet unknown truck and shipped to Tijuana. The recycled solvents will then be shipped back to Hopper. My questions are these: 1. Doesn't Hopper have to have a hazardous waste hauler's permit? 2. Is Burbank Depot, Inc., a Department of Health Services licensed recycler as stated in the letter? 3. Is the recycled solvent that is being shipped back to Hopper still catagorized as a hazardous waste? Note that we are still trying to track down where the sludges have been going for the past years. Your information will be most helpful in clarifying this and future inquiries. Thank you for your cooperation. Very truly yours, Leon M Hebertson, M.D. Health Officer Vernon S.

On Oc~ooer 17, 1988 Richar~ Casagrande and Janis Lehman of the Kern Count!~ Health Department made a par~ai inspection of the suspect Hopper =~ ' "~ ~=cilities loca~ed at 301 Espee St., $~ Kentucky St.~ and Union and Espee Streets in Bakersfield. Gail Lindeboom, %he Administrative Assistant, and Mike Smith, the Plant Maintenance Manager: or hopper accompanied the "~-~ on ~ne inspections ~rs~ inspection 0-i?-88 was made a~ 301 EsDee St. Lindeboom, upon questioning~ stated that an 'underground tank at this facilltv had been f~l'e~ w~_ cement in June i987, after a KCHD routine inspection on 5-i8-57. Lindeboom produced receipts for the cement, and for the pumping company who poured the cement. Hopper, Inc. Page 2 She stated that this tank was knowingly illegally abandoned under the direction of the Plant Manager, Tom Hart. She also stated, upon questioning, that Mr. Hart had ordered Richard Gilpin to falsify the underground tank monitoring records. The next inspection was conducted at 3ii KentuCky Street. Gail Lindeboom, upon questioning at the Espee facility,[stated that there was an underground tank at this, the Kentucky St.~[ facility that had been abandoned without a permit, under dom Hart's direction, because it was known to be leaking. At this site, the KCHD saw what appeared to be the fill pipe for an underground tank. This pipe was locked. The Kern County Health Department aisc noted waste piles that were stated to be b¥-produc~s from the manufacturing of acet¥iene. The third inspection 20-!7-88 was a quick drive by of the Hopper fac~ ~ity~ located at the corner of Union and Espee, where Lindeboom had stated that there was an unpermitted underground ~an~. The facility was fenced, but Lehman saw a round manhole cover in the parking lot. Further investigation at this site is necessary. Aileqed Offenses: i.

Secuence of investiqatlon: May i8, 1987 Janis Lehman of the Kern County Health Department made routine inspections of the underground tanks at the Hopper facilities located at 30i Espee St., 311 Kentucky St., and 2700 "Q" St. in Bakersfield, California. The Permit to upe_a~e (P.T.O.) for the facility at 301 Espee St. (See exhibit ~I) stazed thaz there were three underground fuel tanks. This information was provided on the . ,e_ml~ to Operate Application filed with zhis department by Tom Hart, dated March =9, ~985. (see exn~o=~ was stated by Hopper employee Bud McNeeiy tha~ zhis diesel tank was unused and that the fi~i pipe was welded shut. it appeared to Lehman that McNeeiy could not open the f~':i~= .olDe_ . Lehman explained to McNeeiy, and later to Mr. Hart, that the fill pipe would have to 'Oe opened in order to check the status of the <a ..... Lehman exDiained that xf the tank had not been previousiv abandoned un,er the Fire Department's guidelines that the tank would have to be properly abandoned under permit with ~ne ~qern County Health Department. Lehman briegi¥ explained ~he a'Dandonment procedures to Mr. Hart, Mr. McNeeiy and Gall Lindeboom, the Administrative Assistant. The ~ = O ~or the 9aci'~ ' · ~ .~. . ~=~y at ~1~ Kentucky St stated that there were two tanks at this facility. (See exhibit ~3). This information was provided on the P.T.O. Application filed with this departmen~ by Tom Hart~ da~ed March 29, 1985. (See exhibit Hopper, Inc. Page 8 May 18, 1987 Cont. At this inspection it was stated by McNeeiy, and later Hart, that the P.T.O. was incorrect that there was only one underground tank at this site and not two, as the P.T.O. listed. Lehman was told by Hart that the above ground tank had been registered inadvertently. When Lehman asked about the two dispensers she was told by Hart that one of the dispensers was for the above ground tank. Lehman was told by Hart that the P.T.O. was incorrect. Lehman stated on the inspection report that the gas tank was above ground and should therefore be taken off the permit. Tom Hart signed this report. (See exhibit #5). The facility at 2700 "Q" st. had a waste oil tank that had overflowed and needed to be pumped out. (See exhibit #6). September i, !987 Lehman of the Kern County Health Department made the re-inspections, of the underground ~an~s' at the three aforementioned Hopper facilities. At the 301Espee St. facility the fill pipe of the "unused" tank was opened by a Hopper employee. Lehman verified that the tank was filed with material by piacin§ a gaugln~ stick in the fill pipe. At the facillty at 311 Kentucky St. the overfill box on the diesel tank had been installed. At the facility at 2'700 "Q" St. the waste oil tank had Peen pumped out and Lehman was able to verify that the tank had a cement over£ill box. Lehman met with Hart and asked if there were any ~.e ~a .... at Espee St had been filled with cement. Hart said no, he Xnew of no records, it had been done before he had come to Hopper. He said ~'a. ~ -' ~ Fire ~..a~ he could rznm no Department records, either. Hopper, Inc. Page 9 August 11, 1988 Amy Green received a call from an anonymous caller wanting to speak with Janis Lehman. They told her that the underground tank at 301Espee St. had been filled with concrete after Janis Lehman's facility inspection and that a tank located at 3ii Kentucky St. has leaked gas and is not under permit. August 19, 1988 Janis Lehman and Ann Boyce met with the District Attorney to discuss this case and how to proceed. Augus~ 19, 1988 An anonymous caller, using a code name wanted to meet with 3anis Lehman to give additional information on possible hazardous Waste Violations at the Hopper facilities. August ~,~ 1988 Lehman met with secret witnesses. They helped her to draw a mad of the Hopper facilities which included locations of the alleged violations. They also supplied a list of witnesses who would be able to substantiate their claims. The secret witnesses claimed that: The floor drains at 301 Espee St. emptied into a canal, and that paint thinners, oil, and fuel were disposed of down the drains. They claimed that when foaming agents were disposed of down the drains, foam could be seen on the canal waters. They also claime~ that approximately 6 years ago Roy Harper, a_res~ed for illegal then plant manager, was ~ ~ disposal of a hazardous material down these drains. Hopper, inc. Page i0 August 22, i988 2) On the Kern County Health Department's (Lehman's) first routine inspection on May 17, 1987, Tom Hart told Bud McNeeiy to say that the fill pipe on the middle underground tank at 301Espee St. was welded shut, and therefore that tank could not be monitored Tom Hart then had the tank f,~led w/tn 5 sack slurry sand purchased from Caimat of Bakersfield ana pumped into the tank Dy Cordova's concrete on June 17, 1987. 3 Tom Hart ordered Richard Giipein to falsify the underground tank monitoring records. The filters for a runoff basin at 301Espee St. had been removed thus allowing paint, paint thinners, and oil to discharge directly into the sewer system. 5 6 Two underground tanks exist at 3ii Kentucky St., and that Tom Hart stated on May 17, 1987, that only one existed because he knew that the second one was leaking. Hart knew the second one was leaking because he had Bud McNeely and another man fill it with fuel to determine if it iea~ed. The men determined that the tank did indeed leak, and reported it Eo Hart, who then ordered the tan~ evacuated and closed. Hart told McNeeiy and Lindeboom to tell the ~ern CounTy Health Departmen~ that the tank did not exist. Waste piles from the manufacturing of acetylene were hazardous, that they had caused burns on the arms of a worker. August ~ . =6, ~988 Janis Lehman called the phone number that a secret witness gave her, the secret witness, using the code name, answered the phone. Lehman asked for additional information on the ~ioor drains that supposedly emptied into the canai. The witness said that they did not have any additional information. Hopper, Inc. Page Ii September 6, 1988 A secret witness called to check on the case's progress. October i7, 1988 Richard Casagrande and Jan~s Lehman made an inspection of the Hopper facilities located at 30i Espee St. and 31i Kentucky St. in Bakersfield, California. Casagrande and Lehman arrived at the facility at approximately 1:30 pm. The guard called Tom HarT's office and we were met by his assistant, Gaii Lindeooom. Casagrande and Lehman explained to Lindeboom the purpose of the inspection, that the KCHD had information that their records may not be correct. Lehman asked Linde'0oom if there was any documentation as to when the underground tank at 301 Espee St., located between the regular and unleaded underground tanks, had been filled with cement. She said that yes, there was aocumenTation, and she took us into Karen 3ohnson's office, and went to the files 'oenind 3onnson's desk and removed two sheets of paper and handed them to us. They were receipts for Cordova's Concrete P~mping Service dated June 17, 1987 (see exhibit #7), and fo~ Caimat for 5 sac~s of sand slurry, dated June i?, 1987. (See exhibit #8). Lindeboom said that the abandonment of the tank was done under Tom Hart's direction and that Hart knew he needed permits to abandon the tanks. Hopper, Inc. Page 12 October i7, 1988 Cont. Casagrande inspected the tank in question and also verified that it was filled with material. Lindeboom stated that the fill had never been welded shut. That sue and McNeeiy were told to say that under Hart's orders. When asked if there were other improperly abandoned tanks on Hopper property she said that she knew of 2 more. One tank is located in the driveway of Union and Espee Streets at the medical supply building, and the other tank is located at 311 Kentucky St. Lindeboom said that Bud McNeeiy, the maintenance manager, told Hart this tank was leaking. Lehman asked if there were any monitoring records on either of these two tanks. Lindeboom said that the regular tank at 301 Espee St. was showing problems in the monitoring records, The Kern County Health Department asked to see the records. Lindeboom said that Hart had ordered Richard Giipien, the person in charge of gauging the tanks, to make sure the monitoring records "came out" Lindeboom said that this had been going on with the records for a year, but that since Gilpien has been on strike since August, Mike Smith has been doing the records correctly. Lindeboom said that the monitoring records using Smith's gauging showed that the tanks may be leaking. The Kern Count%? Health Department inspected the underground tank monitoring records for August 1988. (See exhibit ~9). The records showed the reconciliation numbers (the amounts over or short) where on the order of tenths per gallon. The records for September showed daily, wee~iy, and montniy losses t~a~ exceeded the monitoring requirements for the P.T.O. (See exhibit -~10). These reportable variations were not reported to this ' ~' + . cepar<men~, as required by the P.T.O., bv Hopper. Mike Smith, the maintenance manager, was called by Lindeooom and was present while the KCHD was reviewing the monitoring records. Lindeboom tried to contact Hart also, but he was unavailable at the time. Hopper, Inc. Page 13 October 17, 1988 Cont. Richard Casagrande, Janis Lehman, Sail Lindeboom, and Mike Smith drove over to the Hopper facility at 311 Kentucky St. An apparent fill pipe to an underground tank was'found near the shed on the east side of the property. This pipe was secured with a dusty Master Lock number 5 that had the lock serial numbers scratched off. Smith did not have a key for the ioc~. Smith went and asked Roy Nell, the facility foremen, for a key. Smith came back and told us that Neii had said that he did not have a key, and that we would have to ask Hart for one. Casagrande, Lehman, Lindeooom and Smith went into Nell's office. Neii stated that Hart was the only one who knew anything about the underground tanks. Nell said that he had been a manager for 3 years, and that Hart affrays came down and took care of the tanks. As we were leaving this facility a man on strike handed Lehman a note about the fuel tank filled with cement in the main yard. The note said that the tank nad been leaking fuei and abandoned imoroDeriy. (See exhibit #Ii) We returned to $01 Espee St. where Casagrande and Lehman met with Hart. Lindeooom left the room To make copies of monitoring records that the KCHD had requested. Casagrande asked Hart how many underground tanks were at 311 Kentucky St. Hart repiiem that the diesel tan~ was the only one that he knew about. Casag~ande asked Hart how many underground tanks, combined, were on ail of the Hopper facilities. Hart replied that there were four in ail. Casagrande askea Hart about the tank filled with cement at 3ii Espee St. Hart said that this tan~ had been filled with cement prior To his workin~ at Hopper, and that he had been at Hopper eight years. Hart stated That he has abandoned no tanks, and that the company has abandoned no tanks since he nas been there. Hart stated that the fill to the tank at Espee St. had been welded shut, and that it was opened ~ue tc Janls' inspection, and that the tank was filled w~th cement. Hopper, Inc. Page 14 October 17, 1988 Cont. Casagrande asked Hart to check on the status of ail possible underground tanks. Casagrande and Lehman left the site at approximately 4:00 pm. October 20, 1988 Gaii Lindeboom from Hopper came to the KCHD. She stated that Hopper would like to abandon the regular tank at 30i Espee St., and would therefore request not to nave to tightness ~est the tank. Lindeboom gave Lehman a copy of the KCHD's variatlon/ioss investigation report that had 'oeen partially completed. (See exhibit #12) Lehman i'ssuea a Notice of Vioiation and Order to Comply which stated that the regular fuel tank must De tightness tested within 24 hours or a completed abandonment application must be submitted within 24 days.

Request for Disposal from Mr. Bill Loughry During February and/or March of 1990, Mr. Loughry called myself and Diana Wilson of our staff with questions regarding the appropriate disposal methods for paint wastes generated by Hopper, Inc. During a number of conversations, we described the program's "waste acceptance request" format, wherein a generator submits a written request with the following information: 1) type of waste(s) to be disposed, 2) characterization of the wastes per 22 CCR, with a generator self-certification that each waste type is non- hazardous, and 3) analytical data supporting the non-hazardous certification. Bill was informed of the hourly rate of (then) $42.00, and that such reviews generally took from one to two hours to complete. If we were able to approve the disposal, a written clearance form our Department would then be taken to Public Works, fo~ arrangement of the time and location of disposal. No written request was ever received from Mr. Loughry, and no formal work order file was created. We assumed that, after preliminary assessment, Hopper decided that the materials could not be'self-certified, or that the cost of assessment was greater than the disposal fees to a Class II site. There was no follow-up investigation from our staff, and no complaints were received that would have indicated the waste had been improperly handled.
