Final Release LLNL Site 300 (USDOE) <br /> The Carnegie State Vehicle Recreation Area (CSVRA) is located along the southern border of <br /> Site 300. Presently, 14 homes—both permanent and mobile homes—are on CSVRA property, <br /> and 4 of the homes are uninhabited. An estimated 20 to 25 persons, mostly park rangers and their <br /> families, are currently residing at CSVRA. Twelve of the 14 homes are located along Tesla Road <br /> in Alameda County. The other two residences are in a small tract of land owned by CSVRA that <br /> lies on the same side of Corral Hollow Road as Site 300 in San Joaquin County(Jones 2003). <br /> This small tract of land is visible in Figure 3 as a V-shaped notch on the southern border of Site <br /> 300. <br /> Land Use <br /> Land use patterns and natural resource use in the area of the site can demonstrate if or how <br /> persons could be exposed to environmental contaminants. Using well water, farming or <br /> gardening, and hunting or fishing are some of the activities that can result in exposure to site <br /> contaminants. Knowing the locations of schools, hospitals, and nursing homes is also important, <br /> given that the populations of the institutions tend to be elderly, sick, or very young, and <br /> consequently might be at higher risk for adverse health effects. Reviewing zoning patterns helps <br /> us understand future use of land around the site and helps us evaluate the potential hazard to the <br /> community. <br /> As stated,LLNL Site 300 is in a rural area. Private ranch land borders the site to the north and to <br /> the southeast.Although currently no residential area borders Site 300,part of the Vieira Ranch <br /> along the north-east perimeter is the proposed site of the Tracy Hills residential development. A <br /> private facility on the eastern border of Site 300 was previously used for explosives research and <br /> testing. This facility is currently leased by a fireworks company and used for assembly and <br /> storage. The California Department of Fish and Game has property which lies along the eastern <br /> boundary. Along most of the southern boundary of Site 300, across Tesla/Corral Hollow Road, is <br /> the Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area(CSVRA). <br /> 7 <br />
