Underhill 930 Truxtun Avenue, Suite 106 Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Tom: .... You will remember Mrs. Florence Abrams, an old friend and client of mine, who you met on several occasions .and who is the owner of the warehouse building and property located on California Street, occupied by Baker's Transfer and Storage. The property and building has been under lease and occupation by Baker's Transfer and Storage for quite a few years, and currently is being occupied on a month-to-month basis as the term of the lease expi~e~ some years ago, but was never formally renewed.' We. h'av~ never had any trouble with the tenant and he is current in his rent, and Mrs. Abrams is not inclined to put the property on the market or to.seek a new tenant as she is completely satisfied with continuing in effect the present arrangement. However, every once in a while certain matters do crop up which require her consideration and decision and at that point she generally takes the matter up with me and I handle and dispose of it for her~ What I am writing to you about now is exactly one of these situations. On the property there is located a subsurface gasoline tank, used quite a few years ago by the tenant to supply his trucks and vehicles with oil and gas. I am informed that for some years it has not been used for this purpose, but it is in the possession and under the control of Baker's Transfer and Storage and if any problems come up for solution, the problems are first addressed to Baker's and thereupon passed on to us. The subject matter about which I am writing is a little more complicated than usual and requires professional attention - not so much that of a lawyer as that of a competent engineer 6r experienced contractor familiar with the requirements of the City of Bakersfield relating to permits required for the operation of such an oil and gas facility, or Mr. Thomas H. Underhill -2- July 22, 1987 any changes in its operations or termination of the operation, and also in order to obtain a permit authorizing the removal of or repairs to the tank. Just such a situation has arisen and Mrs. AbramM has transferred everything over to me with the request that I look into it and do whatever is necessary to resolve the problem, preferably by obtaining a permit from the City authorizing her, as owner of the property, with the consent of the occupant, to terminate the storage and remove the tank. Last week, she'received a letter, dated July 14, 1987, from the Kern County Health Department, signed by Bill Scheide, ~a copy~of which is enclosed and which is self-explanatory .... She delivered the letter to me and we had quite a conference to decide what to do with the problem and the decision was reached to engage your services to negotiate with the City for a proper permit authorizing the termination of the storage tank facility and the removal thereof from the premises. Because of the peremptory character of the concluding paragraph of the letter received, I deemed it advisable to call Mr. Scheide immediately, which I did on Monday of this week, and I told him that I had been authorized by Mrs. Abrams.to let him know that she had decided that the maintenance of the subsurface tank facility on these premises had become unnecessary and constituted a constant problem of one kind or another. Mr. Scheide was a very courteous gentleman and replied that in his opinion it was a wise decision to make, and anything he could do to facilitate the granting of the application he would be glad to do. He promised to send me a copy of pertinent rules and regulations governing the situation, which I enclose for you to follow. They consist of: A handbook entitled "Standard Inventory Control Monitoring", which I am told we can disregard if our decision is to terminate and abandon the storage tank facility. " A booklet of Requirements for Permanent Closure of Underground Hazardous Substance Storage Tanks. This contains the appropriate requirements applicable to our intended termination. 3. A "fact sheet" entitled "EPA Hazardous Waste ~dentification Numbers". Upon a review of the regulations appertaining to Mr. Thomas 'H. Underhill -3- July 22, 1987 permanent closure of the underground facility and removal of the tank, I decided that this required the assistance of an engineer .experienced and qualified in such operations, who is familiar wi~h the requirements of the City of~ Bakersfield, and can proceed to make all necessary arrangements to bring about the favorable consideration of the~ application for termination of the permit and removal of the storage tank. Mr. Scheide was kind enough to give me the names of three engineering concerns who have had considerable experience in this type of work; also said that there are many qualified engineers and contractors listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book. However, you told me that you yourself have in mind an engineer that~you'have used in your past~practice, and ....... if you deem him capable, by all means you are authorized to hire him. In any event, upon receipt of this letter and enclosures, and after you have reviewed it, please get in touch with Mr. ~cheide, to whom I am sending a copy of this letter, and let him know that you are going to represent Mrs. Abrams. I have never had a proceeding of this character in my practice, but I am told by lawyers who have that in all cases, the client is billed on an hourly basis at an agreed rate, with a billing forwarded at the end of every month covering services during that month. I would suggest that you follow this procedure. <~ I have talked to Mr.Taylor, and told him of our intention to proceed with termination, to'which he has agreed. Let me know the name of the engineering or contracting firm that you finally do retain to help you, and keep me current with developments in your negotiations with the city Health Department. I am glad to know that you are still available for jobs of this character. Warm regards. Sincerely, AJS:mdv Encl. c.c. Mr. Bill Scheide Mrs. Florence Abrams Angelo J.
