PA-0500844 <br /> PROJECT(SCH #2006092084) <br /> Dear Mo Hatef: <br /> The Department of Toxic Substances Control (C)TSC)has reviewed the document described <br /> above that proposes rezoning agricultural property. From the information provided in the <br /> draft document. DTSC is unable to adequately determine whether agricultural pesticide or <br /> other historical usage may present a threat to human health or the environment. DTSC <br /> recommends that additional research be conducted to determine whether pesticides were <br /> used on the proposed development site. The site should be evaluated to determine if and <br /> where storage, mixing, rinsing and disposal of pesticides may have occurred and whether <br /> contamination exists. <br /> In addition, although DTSC does not regulate pesticides legally applied to crops, if pesticides <br /> have historically been used on the property, we strongly recommend that these areas be <br /> tested for environmentally persistent pesticides such as organic pesticides and metals prior <br /> to development..The results of any testing Should be evaluated to determine if <br /> concentrations present in soils will be protective.of residents and workers. <br /> Please contact me by email at tmile Cadtsc.ca.qov or by telephone at(916) 255-3710, if you <br /> have any questions_ <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tim Miles <br /> Hazardous Substances Scientist <br /> Cc: See next.page_ <br /> 19 Printed on Recyr]ed Paper <br />
