FGroundwater, <br /> dwater is found approxim ely 10 f t under theproperty <br /> of Equal Depth to Ground er p. From the 2003 Les of Equal Eleas illustrated vation attached <br /> the groundwater directional flow appears to be the west, toward the San Joaquin <br /> oundwater depth of 10 feet can be considered a shallow groundwater elevation which <br /> impacted from serious point source releases, and agrichemicals such as pesticides, <br /> herbicides, or nitrates from nitrogen fertilizers. The degree of impact from adverse constituents <br /> can be mitigated when there are intervening layers of clay soil down to the water table depth. This <br /> will be determined from the Soil Suitability and Nitrate Loading Studies. <br /> § 4.0 EVALUATION OF PAST AND CURRENT SOURCES OF <br /> CONTAMINATION IDENTIFIED AT OR NEAR THE SITE AND <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ACTION <br /> § 4.1 valuation of each potential and/or known source of contamination identified in the above <br /> Sections have been discussed in the respective Sections to facilitate the transfer of information to <br /> the reader. — <br /> Based upon the State Water Resources Control Board- GeoTracker System, there are no records of <br /> Under Ground Storage Tanks (USTs) or Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTS) on the <br /> subject property. This is illustrated on the attached GeoTracker Site Map, which shows the nearest <br /> UST at Union and Trahern Roads (3 miles to the southwest) and the nearest LUST to be on Veritas <br /> Road (3 miles to the northwest). <br /> The Inactive UST Facility Inventory List and the Underground Storage Tank Site Mitigation <br /> Database List,both from EHD, are found in Appendix C. The Lists show that there is no listing for <br /> the Circle JM Diary, or for the property address. Potential environmental impacts from past,present r <br /> or future facilities within a one mile radius of the property are unknown at this time. However, <br /> there is a dairy nutrient holding pond on proposed Parcel "21" that may be contributing salts to the <br /> underlying groundwater. <br /> The science of pesticide residues in soil, air, surface water and groundwater is extremely complex <br /> and variable. Environmental models that attempt to predict pesticide behavior and transport in the <br /> environment are beyond the scope of this investigation. However, pesticides with long half-lives <br /> that may have been used or drifted onto the property decades ago,primarily DDT, may be of an <br /> extremely slight concern. DDT was used extensively throughout the agricultural fields of the San <br /> Joaquin Valley and degradates of DDT can be found in nearly all these soils. Previous Exposure <br /> Assessments made on typical San Joaquin Valley soils suggest an extremely low probability of <br /> adverse health effects from soil DDT/DDD and DDE concentrations (if the concentrations even <br /> exist). The environmental fate data are presented below for DDT, and its degradates DDD and <br /> LDDT.. <br /> Common name:Agritan,Anofex,Azotox,et al. <br /> Half-lives in the environment: <br /> Page -5- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
