IN RE: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD ORDER NO. R4- 2012 -0069

SUPPLEMENTAL PETITION OF JAMES M. GALBRAITH, PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA WATER CODE SECTION 13320(a) AND CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 23, §§ 2050 ET. SEQ.

I, JAMES M. GALBRAITH, Petitioner in the above -entitled matter, pursuant to California

Water Code Section 13320(a) and California Code of Regulations, Title 23, §§ 2050 et. seq., do

hereby petition the State Water Resources Control Board (the "Board ") to review the Order and

Revised Order referenced herein. This Supplemental Petition supplements and incorporates my

earlier Petition to the Board in this matter. In support of this Supplemental Petition, I hereby

declare as follows:

1. I am a resident of the State of California. I have personal knowledge of the matters

set forth herein and if called upon as a witness could and would testify as follows:

2. I am 70 years old and reside at 1640 Oak Grove Avenue, San Marino, California.

My telephone number is (626) 799 -1111.

3. On or about June 20, 2013, I received a copy of letter from LARWQCB. The letter

was addressed to Mr. Jim Saselli, Senior Aerospace SSP. A copy of the LARWQCB letter is

attached hereto as Exhibit A.

4. Accompanying the letter was LARWQCB Revised Order No. R4- 2012 -0069 -A01

( "Revised Order "). The Revised Order requires Senior Aerospace SSP, Breeze -Eastern

Corporation, William Zimmerman, and me to prepare and submit a work plan to conduct a

subsurface soil investigation to determine if any unauthorized release of heavy metal compounds

has impacted soils that could pose a threat to groundwater beneath the site located at 2980 San

Fernando Boulevard, Burbank, California (the "Site "). A copy of the Revised Order is attached

hereto as Exhibit B.

5. The Revised Order, at paragraph 2, states in part that "The Site is currently owned

by First Industrial Real Estate, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois, who reported that Mr. William

Zimmerman and Mr. James Galbraith were the first owners /operators of Stainless Steel

Products /Industries at the Site." This statement is false and it cannot be substantiated. As such,

this statement is an untenable basis for the issuance of the Order and Revised Order to me. As

stated below, I had no ownership or any positions in, and I received no compensation from,

Stainless Steel Products, Inc., which was a former owner /operator at the Site.

6. The Order and the Revised Order were sent to me without any prior notice and

without an administrative hearing before LARWQCB. Therefore, I did not have any opportunity

to present objections to LARWQCB prior to the issuance of the Order and the Revised Order.

7. I am an inactive attorney. In large part due to health reasons, I retired from the full -

time practice of law in 1979, and became part -time of counsel to my law firm in 1982. Prior to

my full -time retirement, my law firm's business clients included Zimmerman Holdings, Inc.

( "Holding Company ") and Stainless Steel Products, Inc. ( "Operating Company "), both California

corporations. The corporate histories of the two corporations are complex and may be confusing.

A diagram depicting the separate corporate histories is attached as Exhibit C.

8. There were two separate and distinct California corporations at different times

named "Stainless Steel Products, Inc." Stainless Steel Products, Inc. was incorporated in

California in 1971, under entity number 627765, originally as "SSP Products, Inc." ( "Operating

Company "). A copy of the Articles of Incorporation for the Operating Company is attached

Page 3: W°U - California State Water Resources Control Board...bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Zimmerman Holdings, Inc., United States Bankruptcy Court,

hereto as Exhibit D. The Operating Company changed its corporate name in 1981 to "Stainless

Steel Products, Inc." A copy of the Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation for the

Operating Company is attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Articles of Incorporation and Certificate

of Amendment consistently show the entity number "627765," indicating this is the same

corporate entity. The Operating Company is the corporation that conducted business and was an

owner /operator at the Site.

9. I was a part-time attorney in 1980 when a client of my law firm anticipated

acquiring the Operating Company. To complete the acquisition, a corporation was formed under

entity number 1003018, initially under the name "Stainless Steel Products, Inc." ( "Holding

Company "). A copy of the Articles of Incorporation for the Holding Company is attached hereto

as Exhibit F. As an accommodation to the client, I was nominally appointed as corporate secretary

for the Holding Company in 1980.

10. The Holding Company changed its corporate name in 1981 to "SSP, Inc." In 1982

it changed its corporate name a second time to "Zimmerman Holdings, Inc." Copies of the

Certificates of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation for the Holding Company are attached

hereto as Exhibits G and H. The Articles of Incorporation and two Certificates of Amendment

consistently show the entity number "1003018," indicating this is the same corporate entity.

11. To the best of my knowledge, the Holding Company acquired the stock of the

Operating Company in 1981 from a third -party seller. The Operating Company thus became a

100% -owned subsidiary company of the Holding Company, as shown on Exhibit C.

12. In 1982 I retired from the practice of law, in large part due to health reasons. In

1982 I also resigned as corporate secretary of the Holding Company. I have no recollection of

performing any duties as corporate secretary. Except for my nominal position as corporate

secretary for the Holding Company for approximately 24 months, I had no ownership or director

or officer positions in, and received no compensation from, the Holding Company. I never had

any ownership interest or director or officer positions in, and received no compensation from, the

Operating Company.

13. To the best of my knowledge, in or about 2002, Holding Company filed for

bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Zimmerman Holdings,

Inc., United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, Case No. 2:02 -bk -28981

(Judge Barry Russell)). All of the assets of the Holding Company were liquidated in bankruptcy,

and its corporate existence was suspended by the California Secretary of State.

14. To the best of my knowledge, in or about 1995, the Operating Company sold its

business and operating assets to an entity related to Senior Aerospace SSP. Thereafter, Operating

Company had no assets, no business activities, and no employees. The corporate existence of the

Operating Company was suspended by the California Secretary of State.

15. I have no knowledge of, nor was I responsible in any way for, the use, storage, or

disposal of any hazardous wastes by either Operating Company or the Holding Company at the

Site.

16. The Order and the Revised Order are inappropriate because I have no control or

authority over either corporation or the Site and therefore cannot comply with the terms of the

Order or Revised Order.

17. In addition, any involvement under the terms of the Order and Revised Order

would be a severe financial burden and would jeopardize my physical health. For more than 35

years I have suffered from a chronic and debilitating condition known as Crohn's disease, as well

as other auto - immune disorders. These disabilities allow me only a few good hours early in the

day, after which I regularly deal with chronic Crohn's symptoms: nausea, pain, extreme fatigue,

intestinal spasming, systemic inflammation, intestinal bleeding, loss of focus, joint pain, uveitis

(inflammation of the vascular structures of the eye, which has caused near total blindness in one

eye). This has prevented me from working, and I cannot be away from my home for more than a

few hours at a time.

18. Based on a review of the Petition, this Supplemental Petition and the exhibits

attached hereto, I request that the Board (a) find that I am not an owner /operator or responsible

party with respect to the Site, (b) determine that the Order and the Revised Order are inappropriate

with respect to me, and (c) direct the LARWQCB to rescind and withdraw the Order and Revised

Order with respect to me. In the alternative, I request that the Board issue a stay of the Order and

the Revised Order to permit other parties in control of the Site to comply with the Order and the

Revised Order.

19. Because I did not have any opportunity to present objections to LARWQCB prior

to the issuance of the Order and the Revised Order, if the Board denies my request in whole or in

part, I request a hearing before the Board to consider testimony, additional evidence, and oral

argument.

20. A copy of this Supplemental Petition has been sent concurrently to the Executive

Officer of LARWQCB.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on July 15 , 2013, at San Marino, California.

Deari Mr. Sasselli:

The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles'Reeion ( Regional Board) Is the public age* with primary responsibility for the protection of ground and surface water quality for all beneficial uses within major portions of the Is Angeles and.Ventura Counties, including the referenced. site.

The Regional Board is investigating potentlal sources for groundwater pollution within the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) San Fernando Valley Superfund Site ( Superfund Site). It is known that groundwater within the Superfund Site, Including the vicinity of the Stainless Steel Prodrrcts/Indústries facility, Is contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and heavy metals, partlsularly chromium. .

Regiqq'nal.Board staff has reviewed technical information and historical documents contained in Regional Board files for the pröperty lOeated at 2980 North San 'Fernando Boulevard, .the. City Burbank; Califs mia (the Site). Stainless Steel Products /industries ha.soccupied the Site since approximately 1952. Stainless Steel Products /Industries' operations at the site Included the use of hexavalent chromium, sadiLm dichromate and .chromic add in processes such as metal etching and metal finishing. Previous invesIigations were conducted at the Site, which focused ón VOCs and not heavy, metals. Therefore, the potential discharge and/or release of chromium based compounds to the soils at the Site, as a result of the past Stainless Steel Products/Industries operations, has not been determined. .

Enclosed is a Regional Board revised order for technical report requirements pursuant to California Water Code Section 13267 Order No. R4- 2012 - 0069 -A01 (Order). The Order was previously Issued to Breeaze- Eastern Corporation, Mr. William Zimmerman, and Mr. James Galbraith. The previously issued Orders overlooked Senior Aerospace SSP, the current Site operator. Therefore, the attached Order has been revised to include Senior Aerospace SSP and to provide you with additional time to comply with MARIA MENw,wu+, cMuM I SAMUK UwOq. rxtounwa wn091.1 - -.

the Order ta prepare and submit a Subsurface Soit lrivestigation Workplan In order to evalúate the sublurface conditions and the potential for groundwater contamination.

The above addition to the responsible parties for the Site constitutes an amendment to the California Wa er Code section 13267 Order priginalty'dated September 21, 2012. All other aspects of the Order orig flatly dated September 21, 2012, and amendments thereto, remain in full force and effect. The required tethnical.repvrt is necessary to investigate the characteristics of and extent of the discharges of Vaste at the Site and to evaluate cleanup alternatives. Therefore, the burden, including costs, of the rep$rt bears a reasonable relationship to the need for the reports and benefits to be obtained.. Pursuant to section 13268 of the California Water Code, failure to submit the required technical report by the spe4ified due date may result In civil liability administratively imposed by the Regional Board in an amount up to one thousand dollars ($1000) for each day each technical report is not received.

DIRECTED TO BREEZE -EASTERN CORPORATION, MR. WILLIAM ZIMMERMAN, .

MR. JAMES GALBRAITH AND SENIOR AEROSPACE 55P

STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCTS/INDUSTRIES 2980 NORTH SAN FERNANDO BOULEVARD, BURBANK, CALIFORNIA

(FILE NO. 104.1005)

Thé California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (Regional Board) makes the following findings and issues this Order pursuant to California Water Code (CWC) section 13267, which authprizes the Regional Board to require the submittal of technical and monitoring reports.

1 The groundwater within the San Fernando Valley Groundwater Basin [Basin) has been impacted by discharges of heavy metals, specifically chromium. The San Fernando Valley Superfund Site ( Superfund Site) lies within the Basin. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Regional Board are investigating the potential sources of the discharges to the Basin. The agencies are currently focused on identifying individuals and companies responsible for the discharges of chromium In the Basin and holding them responsible for the investigation and remediation of the source sites. The property located at 2980 North San Fernando Boulevard, in the City of Burbank, California (the Site) Is a potential source of chromium and overlies the Basin.

2' The Site was developed and occupied by stainless Steel Products /Industries since approximately 1.952. The Site is currently owned by First Industrial Real Estate, Inc_ of Chicago, Illinois, who reported that Mr, William Zimmerman and Mr. James Galbraith were the first owners /operators of Stainless Steel Products /Industries at the Site. The Site Is currently occupied by Senior Aerospace SSP. Senior. Aerospace SSP is a subsidiary of Breeze -Eastern Corporation and a successor to Stainless Steel Products /industries. Stainless Steel Products /Industries' operations at the Site included the use of hexavalent chromium, sodium dichromate, and chromic acid. Metal coating and metal finishing processes were part of the on -site operations conducted by Stainless Steel Products /industries. In 1J87, the USEPA and the Regional Board initiated an investigation at the Site which focused on volatile organic compounds (VOCS) and not on heavy. metals, Therefore, the potential discharge and /or release of chromium based compounds to the soils at the Site, as a, result of the past metal finishing operations, has not yet been determined. '

3 CWC section 13267(b)(1) states:

"fn conducting an Investigation specified in subdivision (a), the regional board may require that any person who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of having discharged or,

discharging, or who proposes to discharge waste within its region, or any citizen or domiciliary, or political agency or entity of this state who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of having discharged or discharging, or who proposes to discharge waste outside of its region that could effect the quality of waters within Its region shall furnish, under penalty of perjury, technical or monitoring program reports which the regional board requires. The burden, including costs, of these reports shall bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the reports and the benefits to be obtained from the reports. in requiring those reports, the regional board shall provide the person with a written explanation with regard to the need for the reports, and shall identify the evidence that supports requiring that person to provide the reports."

The Regional Board has obtained evidence indicating that there is a potential for discharge of waste at or from the Site. Regional Board files indicate that operations at the Site consisted of metal coating and metal finishing processes which included the use of hexavalent chromium, sodium dichromate, and chromic acid. Stainless Steel Products /Industries is. among the suspected sources of waste discharge in the USEPA Superfund Site because of the chemicals used and the operations conducted at the Site. It is known that groundwater within the Superfund Site, Including the vicinity of the Stainless Steel Products/Industries facility, is polluted with VOCs and heavy metals, *particularly chromium. To date, a complete subsurface investigation of heavy metals in soil or groundwater has riot been performed at the Site,

This Order identifies Breeze- Eastern Corporation, Mr. William Zimmerman, Mr. James Galbraith and Senior Aerospace SSP as the entities responsible for the suspected discharges of waste 'identified in paragraph two and, four (4) because Mr. William Zimmerman and Mr. James Galbraith were the owners /operators of the facility where the activities occurred that resulted in the suspected discharges of waste were performed and Senior Aerospace 55P is a subsidiary of Breeze -Eastern Corpòration and successor to Stainless Steel Products /industries. 5. This Order requires the persons /entities named herein to prepare and submit a Subsurface Soil lnvestigation Workplan (Workplan) in order to evaluate the conditions at the Site and determine If any discharges of heavy metal compounds, specifically chromium, has impacted the soils beneath the Site that could consequently pose a threat to groundwater. Ytiu are expected to submit a complete Workplan, as required by this Order, to the Regional Board, The Regional Board may reject the Workpian If Ris deemed incomplete and /or require revisions to the Workplan under this Order.

7_ The Regional Board needs this information in order to determine whether the Site is a source of discharges of waste, specifically chromium, and to determine whether the subsurface soil conditions at the Site are causing or threatening to cause discharges of waste to the waters of the State within the Basin.

The burdens, including costs, of these reports bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the reports and the benefits to be obtained from the reports., The information is necessary to identify sources of discharges of waste to the Basin and to assure adequate cleanup of the Stainless Steel Products /Industries facility, which as described above potentially poses significant threats to public health and the environment.

9. The issuance of this Order Is an enforcement action by a regulatory agency and is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to

Page 12: W°U - California State Water Resources Control Board...bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Zimmerman Holdings, Inc., United States Bankruptcy Court,
