Attention: Susan Marsett, Program Manager I

Subject: Follow-Up to - Official Request for DNREC's Investigation into Investor's Realty Inc. Alleged Code
Violations

After having received no formal response to the letter referenced above, I am requesting what “Action” (DNREC
Enforcement Action), if any has been/will be taken concerning the stated Code violations referenced in my letters.
Violations which are still in effect, and will remain in effect until DNREC enforces the Code they are charged to
enforce as stated on DNREC’s web site;

Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control Vision, Mission, Values, Organizational
Practices - “The development, implementation and enforcement of all laws, regulations and policies will
result in the equitable treatment of people of all races, incomes and cultures.”

“DNREC is committed to ensuring compliance with those laws and regulations and initiating enforcement
action when warranted.”

With the Wynn Wood development still having 364 violations for the septic tank manhole covers not extending
above grade, shouldn’t this warrant some type of enforcement to ensure this type of violation does not reoccur!

Investor's Realty Inc./Wynn Wood LLC will be referred to as Developer. Reference made to Delaware Code, State
Code, the Code, or regulations will refer to The Regulations Governing The Design, Installation And Operation Of
On-Site Wastewater Treatment And Disposal Systems (Regulations).

I and the homeowners of the Wynn Wood Development relied on the confidence of the developer to ensure that all
Codes were adequately meet during the purchase of our homes. As I have been pointing out well over a year, it is
evident that the developer violated several State Codes during the development, requesting for the issuance and
receiving a Certificate of Occupancy and the ultimate sale of the homes in the Wynn Wood development located in
Camden, Delaware.

The developer, who during the development of the home sites had the requirement to install a water softener due to
the water test in order to certify the home for sale, did violate the State Code by not having/ensuring that a dry well
was installed for the water softeners during development as per Code prior to requesting for a Certificate of
Occupancy, a violation which should have been known by a developer with over 35 years of experience dealing in
for-sale and managed developments in the state.

The developer also violated the State Code by not installing/ensuring the septic tank watertight access manhole
covers extend above grade as per EXHIBIT G of the Code prior to requesting for a Certificate of Occupancy, a
violation which should have been known by a developer with over 35 years of experience dealing in for-sale and
managed developments in the state.

I have stated before both verbally and in my letters to the developer and DNREC, the developer holds full
responsibility for the code violations and any possible damage caused by the years of water softener brine being
discharged into the septic tanks and that these violations should be corrected expeditiously. The developer
contracted for the development of the Wynn Wood community and they are legally responsible for the contractors
they hire.

That the developer recklessly made the representation that the water softeners and septic tanks were to Code by
requesting for and receiving a Certificate of Occupancy and finalizing a settlement date to the homeowners. I fully
believe the developer was trying to save development cost by cutting corners around the Code, as Investor’s Realty
stated; “neither has it ever been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC”.

After numerous letters and requests to the developer I had every reason to believe that they would take prompt
action in resolving these Code violations. I mistakenly assumed that when DNREC was made aware of the State
Code violations within the entire Wynn Wood development that they would get directly involved in having these
violations corrected, violations which should have been to Code prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy
by the State.

Violation 1: Water Softener Dry Well, 53 known violations

The affected home sites in the Wynn Wood development were/are in violation of State Code for the water softener
discharging brine into the septic system during the development, receipt of Certificate of Occupancy and the final
sale of the home sites.

After hearing about the requirement of a dry well for water softeners, I questioned Investor’s Realty in reference to
the requirement and installation of the dry well’s and expressed my concern about the damage to my septic tank.
Damage which I then and still believe is caused by the years of salt brine being discharged illegally into my septic
tank.

While this violation has been corrected for my home with the installation of a dry well (without the direct
assistance of DNREC), I am unaware of the complete status of the other 52 affected homes which were/are in
violation. To the best of my knowledge most have been corrected by Investor’s Realty as the developer, but they
have neglected to provide a consolidated or an individual letter to the affected homeowners as they stated they would
do to myself and other homeowners (which is the reason I have not provided a completed dry well installation listing
for the individual homeowner records held at DNREC, if any).

As the developer I still hold Investor’s Reality responsible for my septic tank damage, damage which is still
progressing in my septic tank from the years of water softener brine being illegally discharged, held in and
evaporating within my septic tank (there is no rotten-egg odor within my septic tank), a violation Investor’s Realty
had full control over and responsibility for.

When questioned about the dry wells the developer stated in a letter “There were on going discussions with
DNREC regarding these regulations when the Conditioners were installed.” and “We also received regulatory
inspections on each home, during the course of construction, which resulted in the Certificate of Occupancy
for each home, without any stipulation of requirement for a Dry Well.” And in an email received from Dave
Gilgenast of Investor's Realty Inc. sent: June 24, 2008 (see attached) he stated: “We were not informed of this
code, neither has it ever been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC. Also this regulation was removed
from the code from 1985 to March of 2002”.

It’s my understanding what the developer is stating is: “There were on going discussions with DNREC regarding
these regulations when the Conditioners were installed”, “We were not informed of this code, neither has it ever
been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC. Also this regulation was removed from the code from 1985 to
March of 2002.” But they did have discussions about the Code, then they were not informed about the Code, but
they knew the Code was removed between 1985 to March 2002!!

The part of the Code governing the brine discharge was effective March 2002 according to DNREC, and most if not
all of the homeowners on the homeowners list I consolidated and provided to the developer and DNREC closed their
home sales after March 2002. I closed a full two years and eight months after the Code was in effect and my
concern is that the “Code” was clearly in effect and violated.

As I briefly read through the section of the Regulation concerning the brine discharge from water softeners, I
noticed no reference to where the Code was allowed to be overlooked due to on going discussions.

I think the developer said it best as to why they had/have no concern of the Code during development: “neither has
it ever been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC”.

I find it hard to believe that Investor’s Realty as a developer would not have known about any changes/updates in
the State Code, having been operating in Delaware since 1974 (as stated on their web site) and their principles as
active/past members of the Delaware On-Site Wastewater Recycling Association (DOWRA) and the First State
Manufactured Housing Association of Delaware (Past Board President, Council on Manufactured Housing, and
Legislative Chair).

Violation 2: Septic Tank Watertight Access Manhole Covers, 364 known violations

The Code and Exhibit-G state/show that “each” compartment shall extend above grade. With 182 septic tanks in
the Wynn Wood development with two access covers “each”, there are 364 known violations.

Code reference: 6.07217 - Each septic tank shall be constructed with a watertight access riser for each
compartment and shall extend above grade. The riser and lid shall be made of concrete, masonry or an
equivalent durable material approved by the Department. If multiple concrete risers are needed then water
tight gaskets or hydraulic cement must be placed between each riser.

page 4 of 7

The developer violated State Code (where the development is still in violation) by not installing/ensuring the septic
tank watertight access manhole covers extend above grade as stated in the Regulation and Exhibit-G. Investor’s
Realty was kind enough to point out this violation in a document packet they provided to me and some of the
homeowners.

The entire Wynn Wood development consisting of 182 home sites “is in violation of State Code” for the septic
tank watertight access manhole covers not extending above grade as stated above. This violation existed during the
development, the request for and receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy and the final sale of the home sites. A
violation of Code which still exists as of this date, a violation Investor’s Realty had full control over and
responsibility for.

The developer did try to explain to me that the settlement of the septic tank could be a possible reason for the tank
manhole covers not extending above grade. In my case the rim of my access covers are around two inches below
grade, and if the developer is implying that the settlement of the tank is the reason the covers do not extend above
grade then this would imply that my tank has settled well over four inches (assuming it was installed to Code,
minimum of two inches above ground) in just 56 months. That amount of settlement in this short of time should
have been evident during the site evaluations, inspections, and soil tests, and I would assume that it would not have
passed inspection.

If tank settlement is the case, the amount of settlement of the septic tank in just a few years is possibly another Code
violation (which I don’t think settlement is the case). Then how is it that so many State Code violations (not even
counting the possible tank settlement) can be missed with one developer, or is this just a grasp at a possible
explanation as a denial for any acknowledgment of culpability for the Code violations.

These violations raises concern to me about how Investor’s Realty developed some of the other home sites they
developed, managed or maintained – Beechwood in Dover, Clayton Court in Smyrna, East Bay Point in Frederica,
Forest Grove in Hartly, Frederick Lodge in Townsend, Lakeland MHP in Dover, Park Place in Stanton, Southern
Meadow in Magnolia, Southwood Acres in Magnolia, St. Jones Landing in Magnolia, Walkers Mill in Bridgeville,
West Bay in Lewes, Whispering Pines in Magnolia. Do these developments/properties have the same violations as
Wynn Wood?

As I said before Investor's Realty stated that “DNREC” during their inspection checked that the Risers were
installed correctly (by checking the check box for risers) and that Investor's was basically done with it because
DNREC checked the box and said it was ok.

But after receiving my septic permit I see that DNREC did not inspect my septic system. The developer had the
certification inspection made by an inspector on behalf of DNREC during the installation and not after the
completion of development of the home. Investor's (as I see it) is implying that DNREC is the one who did not
inspect/certify the septic systems correctly and that it’s DNREC’s problem. I think otherwise.

Another example of “neither has it ever been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC” as a reason I believe
Investor’s Realty and the contractors they hire have no concern for the Regulation:

page 5 of 7

Investor's Realty had a Class-H septic inspection through Weaver’s Sanitation conducted at my home on July 30,
2008. Two other homes were also inspected and had the same results as I did.

Problems encountered with the so called Class-H inspection(s):

Regulation states: SECTION 4.00000 – LICENSES - (i) Class H – System Inspector: The Class H license
authorizes the inspection, investigation and data collection to make determinations regarding the present operational
condition of on-site wastewater treatment and disposal systems.

 No data collection was performed. My septic manhole covers do not extend above grade (and I was sure to
point this out, they even replaced the covers), my D-box was found severely cracked/broken, and my septic tank
has corrosion (and I was sure to point this out) from the water softener brine that had been illegally discharging
into it for years. Nothing about these problems/violations was entered into any of the reports (when they were
finally submitted to DNREC) for the three homes that were inspected.

Regulation states: SECTION 4.06270 All Class A, B, C, D, E, F, GB, GC and H licensees are responsible for
correct and complete information submitted to the Department as it pertains to current Regulations.

 This is what I have been complaining about from the start when I found out dry wells were required for water
softeners. The correct and complete information IS NOT submitted to DNREC as it pertains to the current
Regulation because the developers/contractors are not reading it, comprehending it, or they are just completely
disregarding it. When it is submitted, it only contains what is best suited to who is submitting it.

Regulation states: SECTION 4.06430 All Class H System Inspectors shall perform: (a) All inspections of on-
site wastewater treatment and disposal systems shall be submitted to the Department on forms approved by the
Department (See Exhibit A for the inspection form example and guidelines). These forms shall be submitted within
seventy two (72) hours of inspection completion.

 My septic inspected was on 30 Jul 08. My D-box was found severely cracked and broken and replaced on 4
Aug 08. DNREC had no knowledge that these inspections were conducted, or that major repairs were
completed on “ALL” three (3) septic systems.

 I notified DNREC TWO (2) months after the inspections were conducted and informed DNREC about the three
(3) D-boxes that had been replaced. “These forms shall be submitted within seventy two (72) hours of
inspection completion.” Not TWO (2) months! When the forms were turned in they just happened to be
“dated” 8 Aug 08.

Regulation states: SECTION 4.07500 The Secretary may suspend or revoke the license of a Class A, B, C, D,
E, F, GB, GC or H licensee after considering the recommendations of the On-Site Systems Advisory Board and
demonstration that the licensee has practiced fraud or deception; that reasonable care, judgment, or the application
or their knowledge or ability was not used in performance of their duties; or that the licensee is incompetent or
unable to perform their duties properly or;
(a) Violated any provision of these Regulations;
(b) Violated any lawful order or rule rendered or adopted by the Department;

 Maybe DNREC should start considering this. The State Code/Regulation is continually being violated by the
developers and contractors because they are not worried about repercussions from DNREC. Again I think the
developer said it best: “neither has it ever been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC”.

Class H Examination
This examination consists of 35 multiple-choice and true/false questions each worth 2 points and 15 questions
relating to a drawing each worth 2 points. The questions are on information contained in Definitions, Section
2.00000, Section 3.00000, Section 4.00000, Section 5.00000, Section 6.00000 and Exhibits.

 I added this so that no one can say they didn’t know, or it was remove.

During a meeting with Investor's Realty on July 21, 2008 (the one I wrote to you about on July 22nd) Mr. Andrew
Strine did say that no matter who they have inspect the septic tanks everyone would believe they were working for
Investor's Realty.

Now I know why this was said. The inspections were conducted with the interest of Investor’s Realty, not the
homeowners. I wanted the defects and damages noted on my “Class-H” septic inspection as it should have been, I
don’t think they wanted the faults noted and it’s why they were omitted.

Why the “Class-H” inspection was conducted: Three homes had their septic system inspected to determine the
possibility of any damage being caused by the brine being discharged into their septic tanks. Three homes were
chosen as a percentage of the 53 affected homeowners. Of those three homes inspected “ALL THREE” were
found to have cracked D-boxes, my D-box was seriously cracked as if something had driven over it crushing the
top, deforming the sides and cracking around the entire bottom (photographs available).

If inspecting three septic systems to determine the possibility of the brine damaging the tanks, then the same criteria
can be applied to the D-box's. Three out of three D-boxes found with the same type of cracking would indicate that
there may be a major problem with the entire Wynn Wood community having cracked D-boxes and broken sewer
lines (found by one homeowner) extending from the development.

I await your response to this letter concerning the violations and issues I and the homeowners of Wynn Wood are
currently trying so desperately to have corrected.

Again all I want and I am sure the other homeowners do, is what we paid for and are legally and justly entitled too,
installation of the access manholes extensions as per Code and eliminate this code violation from the Wynn
Wood development.

Subject: RE: Wynn Wood Water Softener Drain Issue

Dear Daniel Brown,

If a homeowner paid a cost at settlement it is on the left side of the settlement sheet and if the seller paid a cost it is on the
right, it is a one time transaction and a complete contract. All of these softeners and water equipment, should have been a
cost passed on to the homeowner, and reflected on the "left side of the settlement sheet. The water "conditions" are never
known until the well is drilled and tested, and it is not warranted in any manner. However for whatever reason, in most
cases, Investor's Realty assumed the cost to complete the contract to the benefit of the Homeowner.

If there is a homeowner who paid for their system themselves or had a system installed prior to March 2002, we will offer to
them, at their cost, the same pricing we will get in completing the dry wells. We can schedule them in with the others that
are getting done, if they respond in time and secure the cost. Once the dry wells are installed, we will no longer be able to
offer this "volume discount", however they can still have the dry well installed by Culligan for $350.00 to comply with the
DNREC code.

For the same reason that you ask that we would include them, We would reply that we can not. We were not informed of
this code, neither has it ever been enforced or violations imposed by DNREC. Also this regulation was removed from
the code from 1985 to March of 2002. I believe that we have responded to this issue well above the mark. After we
research the list and review the files, we will respond with our list of verified homeowners and begin the scheduling of Dry
wells.

Thank You

Subject: Wynn Wood - Septic Inspection Results

Hi Ms. Marsett,

Investor's realty conducted a septic inspection at my home on 30 Jul 08 through Weaver Sanitation. As stated in my prior
email to you Investor's agreed to inspect/pump three homes as a base/percentage to see if any possible damage was done
to the septic systems due to the brine being discharged into them.

The three homes inspected were:

Daniel Brown, 126 S. Wynn Wood Cir.


Dolores Maris (now in care of Jack Padavano), 36 Summerhill Ter.
John Stevens, 183 Ridingwood Ln.

I waited two months (waiting for them to finish the dry wells) to see if I was going to receive a copy of the inspection reports
for my records, none received. In speaking with Jack Padavano of 36 Summerhill Ter. he said that he has received a Septic
Certification from Investor's/Weavers after his home was inspected.

I sent Investor's an email asking for the reports that I should have for my septic records and their reply was that I needed to
sign a waiver in order to receive them. I have never heard of needing a waiver to receive public information but that is what
they told Mr. Stevens and myself. I ask Mr. Stevens to request his reports to see what Investor's would tell him, he was told
he also needs a waiver.

The below emails are concerning the waiver Investor's realty wants John Stevens and my self to sign in order to receive a
copy of our septic report/inspection results. They should be read from the bottom up.

While typing this email I checked my mail and did receive today the waiver from Investor's concerning my receiving a copy of
my report (see attached). In reading the letter it sounds the same as that which was sent to Jack Padavano. So it would
appear that all of us need to return the waiver in order to receive a copy for our reports. This waiver only states that my
septic was pumped and cleaned. Nothing about Inspecting or that the D-box was broken (maybe if I sign and return it the
report would include that).

In reading the Regulations/Code online I recall reading (the wording may be off, but this is what I recall);

 DNREC states the homeowners must maintain a copy of all documents pertaining to their septic systems.

I had my septic pumped, hosed down, inspected on 30 Jul 08 and have nothing to show for it, my D-box was found broken
and replaced on 4 Aug 08 and I have nothing to show for it.

 In order to get/maintain certification a Septic Inspector needs to follow the Regulations/Code that’s in effect. That
during an Inspection ALL defects found during an inspection (even if they have been noted in prior
servicing/inspections) needs to be recorded on the inspection report in order for DNREC to track any noted damage
to a septic system to evaluate and monitor the damage over the course of its use.

I think its apparent that everyone concerned knows that I have corrosion in my septic tank (I still feel it's from the brine and
until it's tested by a lab I will still believe that). But when signing the inspection report from Weaver as he explained what it
contained, I saw nothing in reference to the corrosion in my septic tank. I even ask him to look at the corrosion as they were
servicing it.

 That all documents required/used during installation, servicing, inspecting, and repairing will be returned to
DNREC. I recall it had a time limit to turn in the documents (in speaking with Mr. Albanese I think he said it was 72
hours).
Does DNREC have a copy of the inspection report that was conducted on my septic system. It been over 72 hours, in fact
around 1512 hours.

 I recall reading that any work performed on a septic system requires a permit. That even a homeowner who tries to
do minor repairs to their system needs to request for a temporary license and be tested in order to perform any
repairs/work.

Does DNREC have any documents showing that I had my D-box replaced. This to me was a major repair made to my septic
system.

During a meeting with Investor's Realty (the one I wrote to you about on 22 Jul 08) Mr. Andrew Strine did say that no matter
who they have inspect the septic tanks everyone would believe they were working for Investor's Realty. Well no wonder
someone would think that look at what they are doing.

Are homeowners required to sign a waiver in order to receive a copy of the documents pertaining to their septic systems.
They certified my system was in working order on 8 Aug 08 but the D-box was replaced on 4 Aug 08, so they certified that
the replacement of the D-box was correct. I think all of the waivers will be dated around 8 Aug 08 due to them being made
after the fact.

Dry Wells: The Wynn Wood community currently has around three to five dry well systems to be installed (Investor's is
verifying this) for those affected. Was a permit required for the installation of the dry wells, as they were taped into the sewer
lines which required the removal of the water softener drain line and fittings from the sewer pipes, which is an alteration to
the septic system also which no homeowner has any record that a change was made to their septic system.

Septic Tank Manhole Covers: The Wynn Wood Community is still in violation for not having their manhole covers extend
above grade 2-6 inches. As I said before Investor's Realty said that DNREC during their inspection checked that the
Risers were installed (by checking the check box for risers) and that Investor's was basically done with it because DNREC
said it was ok. But did DNREC inspect the septic systems or was the certification/inspection made by a licensed inspector
on behalf of DNREC during the installation and not after the completion of development of the home. Investor's (as I see it)
is implying that DNREC is the one who did not inspect/certify the septic systems correctly and if I have a problem I should
address it to DNREC.

Septic Distribution Boxes (D-Box): Three homes had their septic system inspected to determine the possibility of any
damage being caused by the brine being discharged into their septic tanks. Three homes were chosen as a percentage of
the 53 affected homeowners. Of those three homes inspected all three were found to have cracked D-boxes, my D-box was
seriously cracked as if something had drove over it crushing the top, deforming the sides and cracking around the entire
bottom (I do have photographs of it). If inspecting three septic systems to determine the possibility of the
brine damaging the tanks, then the same criteria can be applied to the D-box's. Three out of three D-boxes found with the
same type of cracking would indicate that there may be a major problem with the entire Wynn Wood community having
cracked D-boxes, and there is a possibility that the community has cracked/broken sewer lines along with their D-boxes.

During the installation of a homeowners dry well the contractor hit the sewer line coming from the home that runs into the
septic tank. As they were digging the trench for the dry well they started to see mud before they hit the pipe. After cutting
out the broken section of pipe they could see dirt in the sewer line running toward the tank, and that one part of broken pipe
was freshly broken and the other parts were muddy and old looking. The homeowner took photographs of the section of pipe
and the surrounding area of the dry well. Finding cracked sewer pipes along with the cracked D-boxes is a strong indication
that a contractor has possibly damaged the septic systems in the community by running heavy equipment over the sewer
systems prior to the final grading during development.

Investor's Realty by their comments are suggesting that DNREC incorrectly inspected and certified the septic systems (dry
wells/risers) here in the Wynn Wood community. I find it hard to believe that DNREC incorrectly inspected and certified the
septic systems for the entire Wynn Wood community of around 182 homes. That DNREC missed the installation of 53 water
softener systems which were connected into the septic system or that DNREC certified 182 septic systems knowing the
manhole covers were not above grade.

I await your response.

Thank you for your time, and sorry for the long email.
