Commissioner Wilson said for the last 10-12 years, millions of dollars have been put in a flood control fund and he would like to know what is being done with it. He said there are 7,000 houses subject to flooding and Zone 7 has been sitting on millions of dollars. He stated that in 1966 Bill Gale found some money and he got the Mocho widened and there should be some way the City could get an accounting of their money paid to Zone 7. John Ennis, 1586 Foothill Road, spoke to two concerns. He stated first that he would like to see the entire area included in the EIR and not have the area reviewed piecemeal. He said his other concerns relate to the transportation, storage and possible leakage of solvents. carcinogenic materials and others. He said he wants a good way to store and neutralize materials. He said it should be understood, however, that neutralization of materials does not render them nontoxic. He spoke to Fairchild, Hewlett Packard and others who recently have had contaminated leakage. He said semi-conductors are high users of these materials. Commissioner Jamieson asked Mr. Innis the nearest Class I dump site. Mr. Innis said it is in Martinez and he hears they will be losing their Class I status. He said the other one is in Lemore at the Naval Air Station and it is not opened to the public. He also said there is one at Tule Lake up north. Commissioner Jamieson said this is a real problem and not necessarily one of long range. Mr. Ennis said they believed their CC&Rs were strict in Sunnyvale but the containers for the dumped debris deteriorated faster than they realized. He said the tanks were manufactured of cast iron and layered with several materials. He suggested that the City check with San Jose regarding the Santa Teresa area. He summarized his concerns with the transportation and storage of dangerous materials and availability of a Class I dump site. Joe Callahan, Callahan-Pentz, an owner of a portion of the Hacienda Business Park along with Prudential Insurance Company spoke. He spoke to the voluminous amount of data supplied for the completion of the EIR (12-15" thick). He said the EIR as a whole is a good document. He said his concerns relate to the definition of the scope. He said all of their efforts have been oriented to the General Plan for the entire north Pleasanton area. He said the traffic and noise studies deal with 1400 acres including flood control. He said he believes the document deals with the entire area not just a portion of it. Regarding sewer, he said it is obvious limitations for both Prudential and Callahan-Pentz are such that they would have to strictly control uses which come under the existing sewer agreement. He stated they will be able to develop 200 acres at first by not allowing heavy water users. He said beyond that they are taking a significant gamble in terms of land development cost and that they will find a solution to these problems. He stated this is a large -14-
