§ 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report (SSCR) contains the results of my findings for property located on West Bristol Avenue in Stockton, California. This report was prepared exclusively for Ms. Leticia Jazmin, and the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD). The purpose of this study was to investigate and identify real or potential surface and subsurface contamination existing within, or around the entire subject property and.report the findings to the Client and the Environmental Health Department. According to the San Joaquin County Development Title, a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report is required at the time of Tentative Map submittal. The San Joaquin County Development Title, Section 9-905.12 (a) states "A Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report shall identify any potential sources of surface and subsurface contamination caused by past or current land uses." The report shall include evaluation of nonpoint sources of hazardous materials including agricultural chemical residues and nitrate concentrations in the underlying groundwater. Potential point sources include fuel tanks, discarded items, septic systems, agrichemical applications, lead paint, asbestos, and electrical transformers. No chemical analysis was conducted by Chesney Consulting for this investigation,nor was there an inspection and testing of the on-site buildings for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and lead paint by Chesney Consulting. Interpretation of County Ordinance Section 9-905.12 (a) has been to focus on the subject property exclusively, unless it is documented or observed that an environmental concern in proximity to the subject property could potentially affect said property. This Surface and Subsurface Contamination approaches,but does not encompass the requirements of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) as promulgated by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM E-1527-00). The Environmental Health Department recognizes that the Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report is not intended to completely fulfill the requirements of the Phase I ESA. The Department does however, maintain that certain components of the Phase I ESA must be applicable to the SSCR, as follows: Section 7.1.7 of the ASTM Document states under"Sources of Standard Source InFormation,"that II "information or other record information from government agencies may be obtained directly from appropriate government agencies or from commercial services." Documents found in Appendix D are from a commercial environmental service. § 1.1 The description of the site is as follows: The property consisted of two Single Family 4 Residential (SFR) structures that are in the process of being razed. Two separate physical € addresses existed for these structures, although they were on one parcel. Page -2- Chesney Consulting E
