February 18, 2008 - Three dozen frustrated homeowners north of Escondido Country Club want the city or local environmental groups to help them pay for cleaning up the remnants of a defunct trash dump that lies within their middle-class subdivision.
State law requires the homeowners to pay for cleaning up the 2-acre site, even though the dump ceased operations in 1953 -- 30 years before their subdivision was built. The law holds only current owners responsible for cleaning up toxic sites to avoid costly investigations to determine who owned them and who contaminated them.
