8. State acceptance <br /> 9. Community acceptance <br /> Figure 3 provides a brief explanation of the EPA evaluation criteria. <br /> A comparative evaluation of the four alternatives by the first seven of the nine EPA <br /> evaluation criteria is summarized in Table 1. State and community acceptance are discussed <br /> further below. <br /> An alternative must meet the first two EPA criteria to be eligible for selection. Alternatives <br /> 1 and 2 are not preferred because they do not clean up the contaminated aquifer and do not <br /> meet ARARs. <br /> State Acceptance <br /> DTSC and the RWQCB have approved the use of the existing air stripper system and have <br /> indicated general acceptance of this technology as it was presented for the IRM. Through <br /> document reviews and public meetings, the RWQCB and DTSC have participated in <br /> investigations at DDRW-Tracy and have previewed the Operable Unit No. 1 Remedial <br /> Investigation, Risk Assessment, Feasibility Study, and Proposed Plan. <br /> Community Acceptance <br /> Community acceptance will be addressed based on comments received during the public <br /> comment period. Given the current rapid pace of development in the Tracy area, it can be <br /> anticipated that neither developers interested in purchasing land near DDRW-Tracy nor <br /> landowners interested in selling property near DDRW-Tracy would accept deed restrictions <br /> on residential development. Similarly, existing agricultural landowners near DDRW-Tracy <br /> would be unlikely to favor permanent well drilling restrictions. The community may perceive <br /> other negative socioeconomic impacts (lower property values, restricted land use, etc.) <br /> associated with deed and aquifer restrictions. <br /> QW0043.1(90380MM3 13 M1007921606 <br />
