Attorney for Mola Development Corporation dated January 19, 1981 regarding the
appeal and requesting that it be part of the record.

sixteen months regarding the site and the roles of the various agencies involved.
James Crisp, consultant from Jack K. Bryant and Associates, Inc. presented infor-

James Stahler, Regional Administrator of State Department of Health Services,
Hazardous Materials Section, stated that his agency had been closely involved in
the soil sampling at the site. He assured Council that there would be technical
staff at the site at all times of excavation and that his department would work
closely with South Coast Air Quality Management District to be sure that air
quality would be monitored at all times. He spoke regarding Assembly Bill 2370
that took effect January 1, 1981 and the possible consequences should the material
not be removed and the State be forced to take action regarding the matter.

sonable risk and questioned monitoring and evacuation plans and requested that

urged Council and all agencies involved to do everything possible for a speedy
removal of the materials. He further stated that he concurred with the conclu-

approve removal of the material. He then requested to address Council in the
capacity of a citizen and spoke regarding concentration levels of materials.
He stated that he would not like to see a buffer zone around the site and did
not want his children playing on the unexcavated site.

been noti ied of the public hearing; she presented an informal petition with
twenty-eight signatures to Council requesting that the matter be deferred to
a later meeting in order to provide time for them to examine all relevant material
involved in the issue. She stated that she believed there should be further
study before any final decision was reached.
C,y_nthia Doe stated that she had circulated a petition in favor of cleaning out
the material as soon as possible and that 192 people, out of 193 contacted,
signed the petition. She stated that she believed that safety factors had been
well addressed.
Frank Mola, developer of the project, stated that they had been involved with
the project for three years; that the site had been used as a dump since the

company would still have to appear before the Planning Commission with additional
procedures regarding evacuation, monitoring techniques and staff at the site.
Daniel Matthews stated his concern regarding the elderly and cardiac patients
in the event of evacuation and inquired what month of the year would the evacua-
tion take place as he believed there were certain months of the year which
were better to commence work.
