Phase I Environmental Site Assessment 1��rracon <br /> Proposed CarMax Automotive Dealership ■ Stockton, CA <br /> August 8, 2015 ■ Terracon Project No. NA157024 <br /> 7.1.4 Historical Records <br /> Based on a review of the historical information, the site was used for row crops and an orchard <br /> from the late 1930s through the mid-2000s. The surrounding properties consisted of row crops <br /> and orchards through the 1990s, when the properties to the west were developed with the existing <br /> commercial development. Based on Terracon's review of the historical records, VECs were not <br /> identified in connection with the site or adjoining properties. <br /> 7.1.5 Regulatory Records <br /> Terracon reviewed the regulatory database (see Section 4.0) for facilities potentially utilizing <br /> petroleum hydrocarbons within one-tenth of a mile of the site and facilities potentially using other <br /> volatile chemicals of concern within one-third of a mile of the site. Based on Terracon's review of <br /> the regulatory records, Terracon did identify potential facilities of concern. Based on Terracon's <br /> review of the regulatory records, VECs were not identified. <br /> 7.1.6 Physical Setting Characteristics <br /> According to a Preliminary Geologic Map Showing Quaternary Deposits of the Lodi Quadrangle, <br /> California by D.E. Marchand and B.F. Atwater 1979, the site is located within the Modesto <br /> Formation Upper and Lower Members (Qm,). According to Atwater, the Modesto Formation is <br /> characterized by no stipple to dense stipple sands and silts deposited in the Pleistocene age. <br /> Shallow soils are identified by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as Stockton <br /> clay. The depth to groundwater is estimated by the California Department of Water Resources, <br /> Spring 2014 to be approximately 60 to 62 feet bgs, and the regional direction of ground waterflow <br /> is estimated to be toward the northeast. <br /> The northern and eastern adjoining streets followed by vacant lots are considered to be up- <br /> gradient of the site, the southern adjoining walnut orchard is considered to be down gradient of <br /> the site, and the western adjoining commercial facilities are considered to be cross to down <br /> gradient of the site. <br /> 7.1.7 Natural or Man-made Conduits <br /> The site is located in a developed area of the city containing utilities along the adjacent rights of <br /> way. Based on the absence of potential identified vapor sources in the site vicinity it is unlikely <br /> that man-made conduits, such as utility corridors, provide a potential path for vapor migration. <br /> Additionally, natural conduits, such as karst terrain/features, are not known to exist in the site <br /> vicinity. <br /> 7.1.8 Conclusions <br /> Based on the physical setting of the site, the current use of the site and the findings from the <br /> historical and regulatory records review, VECs are not likely to exist at the site. <br /> Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 16 <br />
