If future developments on the property do not require the use of these wells, they should be abandoned properly in accord with state and local regulations. Our research of government agency information indicates that there have been no reported contamination conditions of a sufficient magnitude or proximity considered threatening to the environmental integrity of the subject property. In our opinion, no further environmental investigation of the subject property is warranted by available information. However, based on the age of the on-site residential structure, asbestos containing building materials may be present. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District inuy require a survey of the building and the removal of regulated asbestos containing materials prior to any demolition activities. The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA) requires that demolition contractors disturbing regulated quantities of asbestos containing construction materials have special licensing.
