EXHIBIT B MORGAN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Messrs. Schell and Scen Har*Envii COMPLAINT MORGAN SAND AND GRAVEL March 16, 2009 encountered. Pieces of PVC plastic, Styrofoam, cans, sheet metal, bricks, broken concrete and rope were observed in the soil. Photos 13-24 provide evidence of the solid waste debris found in the excavation. Excavation #2 is located approximately 50 feet east of #1, and was excavated in the same manner. The amount of solid waste debris observed was considerably less than that found in excavation # 1. Native soil was encountered after 3-5 feet of overburden fill soil was removed. Photos 10-12 provide evidence of the solid waste debris found in the excavation. We then walked the vicinity. southeast of the excavation and John Longacre pointed out other solid waste debris that was scattered across the area. Pieces of fiberglass sheets, cans, foam board and roofing tar-paper scraps were observed. The inspection team then moved to. the north side of the Westhoff property to examine the two piles of construction rubble where asbestos containing material was documented during my November 19, 2008 sampling event.. Based on the disturbance of the surface by tire tracks and scraping marks, it was obvious.to everyone that both piles had recently been moved about 20-30 feet south, from the Longacre to the Westhoff property (see Figure 1 and Photos 7 & 8). We stood on the Longacre property while I described the condition of the piles and the types of construction debris that were collected, for asbestos analyses. To emphasize the -waste disposal conditions that have been observed on the Westhoff property, Mr. Longacre produced numerous photographs and reviewed them with Ms. Smith and Mr. Dearborn. We then drove back to the starting point. Prior to departing, Ms. Smith and Mr. Dearborn said they would consider all that they have' seen and review the data and pictures with their supervisor. They assured Mr. Longacre they. would be getting back with him in the near future. Following their departure we went back_to the original excavation and I collected samples of the solid waste debris that was exposed. At the request of Mr. Longacre, I also collected four material samples for asbestos content and one soil sample for arsenic, chromium and lead analyses. All of the asbestos samples were reported as "none. detected", and the metals analyses were very low (chromium 3.8 mg/Kg) or not detected. Copies of the laboratory data sheets are attached for reference. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my observations and the data collected.
