STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING

LEAVE TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT 1

WHEREAS, after the initiation of this citizen suit to enforce the Clean Air Act and

California’s State Implementation Plan, AIR learned of the relationship between Defendants

C&R Vanderham Dairy, et al. (collectively “Vanderham”) and Ag Resources, LLC, and Corrie

Vanderham Dairy, Inc. AIR also learned that C&R Vanderham Dairy is a general partnership

and not a proprietorship.

WHEREAS, on April 29, 2005, Ag Resources, LLC entered into a “Site Improvement

Construction Agreement” with Vander Weerd General Construction, Inc. to build a freestall dairy

“for C&R Vanderham Dairy” at the site at which the C&R Vanderham has been constructed and

which Ag Resources owned at the time. 

WHEREAS, Ag Resources subsequently sold the property to Corrie Vanderham Dairy,

Inc. on February 2, 2006. Corrie Vanderham Dairy, Inc., in turn, entered into an agreement to

lease the land and dairy facility to C&R Vanderham Dairy on February 13, 2006. C&R

Vanderham Dairy is a general partnership between Corrie Vanderham Dairy, Inc. and Rick

Vanderham. Corrie Vanderham, a current defendant, is the President of Corrie Vanderham

Dairy, Inc.

WHEREAS, as required by section 304(b) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7604(b),

AIR sent Corrie Vanderham Dairy, Inc., and Ag Resources, LLC, a 60-day notice of intent to sue

on July 10, 2006 and August 29, 2006, respectively. The 60-day period for the most recent

notice letter runs on October 28, 2006. 

NOW, THEREFORE, Plaintiff and Defendants stipulate as follows:

1. Plaintiff may file its First Amended Complaint on or after October 28, 2006.
