§ 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report(SSCR)contains the results of our findings for the subject properties located at the two addresses denoted on the Title Page. This report was prepared for one of the owners of the property, Mr. Tony Faria who is coordinating this project. Mr. Kevin Cole, PLS of Giuliani & Kull is the surveyor-of-record for this Lot Line Adjustment project. The purpose of this report was to investigate and identify real or potential surface and subsurface contamination existing within, or around the entire subject property and report the results to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(ERD). Within the text of this report, bolded Section (§)numbers are referenced at the beginning of an applicable Section number, sentence, paragraph or Appendices that correspond with the EEID Requirements Checklist for Surface and Subsurface Contamination Reports. According to the San Joaquin County Development Title,a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report is required at the time of Tentative Map submittal. The 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, past and present on-site septic systems, agrichemical applications, lead paint,asbestos, and electrical transformers. No chemical analysis was conducted by Provost& Pritchard Consulting Group for this investigation, nor was there an inspection and testing of the on-site residential structure for asbestos containing materials(ACMs)and/or lead paint. Since the onsite residential structure was built before 1980,there is a potential for the two contaminants of asbestos and lead paint to exist. 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. The 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 "information or other record information from government agencies may be obtained directly from appropriate government agencies or from commercial services." § 1.1 The description of the site and the project is as follows: The two subject Parcels currently consists of 149.68+26.1 = 175.78 acres, as illustrated on the attached District Viewer Maps. It is proposed to create two new Parcels from these existing two Parcels with proposed Parcel 1 to be 100.61 acres and proposed Parcel 2 to be 72.2 acres,for a total of 172.81 acres as illustrated on the Tentative Map.
