Yep, contact SD County. Illegal hazmat dumping. Sorry you have to deal with neighbors and even contractors like that.

For sure call the city and get a hold of whoever issued the permits. Those guys can be total dicks to a Contrator who does shit like that, really hold up their job for endless inspections and other bullshit
Also if it’s deemed hazardous they would also have to remove and replace all the soil under it that the material could have possibly migrated too, a giant costly hassle.
Might be better to talk to the contractor first and give him a day to clean it up before you start calling. It’s entirely possible your neighbors told him it was ok and he trusted them and it wasn’t just a Dick move on his part
A shitty deal anyway you slice it

My thought is there is no "contractor" involved but rather "a guy with a bobcat and a jackhammer crew". Seriously don't think a "contractor" would even think of doing this knowing full well there's financial consequences to doing this. Which comes down to the Homeowner being on the hook for it all, and the obvious lack of permits, which are definitely required to demo a pool. Illegal dumping of HAZMAT is no bueno, and by the time all is said and done, very likely your neighbor's Homeowner's Insurance will be cancelled. Any retainer for an attorney will be money well invested!

    Cool! Your neighbor provided you with drought-resistant landscaping......

    and call the building department.
    Replastering a pool requires a permit.
    Removing and filling in a pool requires a permit.
    In SoCal, just thinking about it requires a permit.

    and double-check your property line. ;)

    Confront your neighbor and give him time to make it right and if he doesn't follow through call the city for illegal dumping on your property, get pictures of his backyard for proof of where it came from ,it's going to cost him a lot more to remove it then haul to a recycle site the first time , what a I don't give a shit neighbor you have ,Good luck

    Rent a pair of testicles and go talk to the guy, with a witness of course.

    20 year battle with A neighbor , one threatened another,
    then one ended up Dead .

    They even took the time to spreads it out nice flat for you.

    As others have said, call the city and talk to the building department. Tell them what’s going on.

    My money is on your neighbor never got permits or even hired a licensed contractor.

    Go have a chat with your neighbor. Send him a certified letter giving hime a week to have it cleaned up, or you will file a complaint with the city officials.

    I thought my neighbor was a jerk. Ha.

    pretty sure the epa has a 1-800 line...
    reported a construction site because it looked like a brush fire with all the dust....amazingly enough...they got shut down that day.....cost them $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

    Now if you can show the runoff will go into native streams...you got a real winner on your hands....

    I'd just call all the hotlines and play the enviro-snowflake card. Doesn't sound worth it to deal with that level of stupidity. The fines will hurt way more than being told he's a dumbass (which he probably is used to anyways). Please update, because that is ridiculous.

    I called the county and found they have NO permits.
    I went down to the house to speak with somebody.
    The 2 workers said they spoke no English. So I spoke Spanish. I spoke to their stupervisor on the phone and go no satisfaction.
    So I first called county building and planning. Confirmed no permits. They told me to call code enforcement.
    Filed a claim.
    I feel better now.
    And I didn't go to jail. Yay

    You know that the physical way doesn’t work out for you…. You are going about it the right way now and city and environmental codes are in your favor. Let the city inspectors earn their tax spent salaries!
    the big thing is to stay on top of them , and blow up there phone,
    if they drag there ass , then Call the Mayors office, shit runs down hill, LOL .

    My wife called the sheriff to come take a report.
    They advised to lock the gate for insurance purposes.
    Because it's trespassing and if one of them accidentally brakes his face, I'm liable for any damages.

    Can you put up a cheap home security cam to keep an eye on that side of the yard? Just for the time being.
