UNGER: Sure. CARR SMITH: — based on the testimony of — UNGER: Sure. CARR SMITH: — Ms. Tanimoto. I was wondering if you could, you said that when and if cars — UNGER: Excuse me, is this a question for the applicant? CARR SMITH: It is. UNGER: Would the applicants come back up, please? CARR SMITH: Mr. McCollough, you mentioned that when a car, or if a car is leaking, that you put a pan under it. I think Jojo’s concerns about the land and the soils are valid. Can you tell us just what your protocol is for that on a daily basis? MCCOLLOUGH: Yeah, I’m going to back up a little bit about the soil on my property. When I purchased the property, it belonged to Miranda Trucking, not, it wasn’t a towing company. They had huge semi-trucks and dumps, and they had an arena set up for their rodeos, they had pretty much gotten rid of every bit of soil on that property to make it what they wanted. There was sand on the soil where the arena was. They had a huge diesel spill on the property that went down the highway, and they had to dig up all the contaminated soil, bring it back to my property, and bury it. And so, that was one of the reasons that I chose that property was it didn’t have the best soil on it, although it did at one time. So, we had to clean it up, get rid of everything that was in there that they left, graveled the parking area just to make it suitable to drive on it. The cars that we pick up, that we store, that are accident vehicles, they have been sitting at somebody else’s property, another tow company’s property for days; everything has drained out of them. I’ve actually had the Department of Health come up and look at my property and walk it with me, and they are like you are doing a great job, you are not dismantling anything, you have no cars that are in pieces, if you have anything that is, got a leak on it, please put a pan under it. And that’s what we did. So, to this day you could walk my property and not see a drop of oil anywhere on there, and it would be hard to miss on gravel because it does show up, the leak. So, by the time we get the cars back to our place, they have leaked everything out. So, the only thing that we are left with is, if we suspect there might be a leak, we put a pan under it. CARR SMITH: Okay, thank you. MCCOLLOUGH: You’re welcome. UNGER: Very Good. TRIANTOS: I was just going to say I think there was also the concern, the rest of the property is, in the presentation, is still used as agricultural area on the, let’s call it, the three acres, so it is still being used for agricultural purposes. 10 EXHIBIT A
