ALTERNATIVES Do not extend the term of the Environmental Oversight Agreement with the Department of Toxic Substance Control, which by default, would put the necessary approvals under the jurisdiction of the San Mateo County Environmental Health, thereby possibly extending the timeframe to obtain the closure letter and immunity.
