Discussion ensued regarding Allen Stadnick's written comments pertaining to <br />Piper's contamination (copies on file), and GeoTech's acknowledgement of the make and model <br />numbers of the trucks that hauled 55 gallon drums, filled with chemicals, to a dump site located at <br />43rd Avenue and 41st Street. <br />Mr. Zorc wanted Piper to be accountable for the contamination cleanup, not the <br />taxpayers. <br />Attorney Collins acknowledged that Piper had deposited 55 gallon drums, on <br />numerous occasions, at the old landfill on 41St Street over the years. He stated that there had been <br />plumes detected under 41st Street, and if Piper dumped hazardous waste illegally, that they should <br />be responsible for the cleanup. He said that most of the environmental laws were passed in the <br />early 1970's, and even though he had not looked at them recently, in terms of retroactivity, he felt <br />the basis of the complaint was that if they had disposed of something, and we can seek recourse <br />against them to recover our expenditures in cleaning up the plumes, that we should ask the <br />Governor to appoint a Special Prosecutor to research the evidence. <br />Commissioner Solari suggested sending the information to Tallahassee to see if it is <br />something they could pursue, and Attorney Collins encouraged it. <br />Chairman Davis asked Mr. Zorc to provide him with contact information so he could <br />send a follow-up letter. <br />10.
