INTRODUCTION Mr. Mike Brown of MossdaIe Associates, Ltd. is starting the process for a Tentative Commercial Subdivision of the property investigated for this report. According to the San Joaquin County Development Title, a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report(SSCR) must be conducted prior to Tentative Map submittal. The purpose of this report was to investigate the subject property for real or potential environmental contamination and report the findings to the Client and the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. This report complies with the San Joaquin County Ordinance, specifically 9-905.12(a) for a "Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report," and with the initial requirements of the San Joaquin Environmental Health Department(FHS-EHD) for land subdivision. In addition, this report addresses and evaluates non-point sources of hazardous materials, as well as potential point sources. Non-point sources of hazardous materials include agricultural chemical residues, high concentration of nitrate laden groundwater and other contaminants which may have originated from a wide area. Point sources investigated include fuel storage tanks, septic systems and/or chemical storage areas. No chemical analysis was conducted for this investigation, nor was there an inspection of the existing structures for asbestos containing materials (ACMs). The domestic well water serving the on-site office and mobile home was not tested for nitrates and the agrichemical dibromochlorpropane (DBCP). The Oakwood Water District will provide sewer, water and stormwater management for potential future development of the subject property. SITE DESCRIPTION As illustrated on the attached Tentative Commercial Subdivision Map, the subject area consists of two irregular-shaped parcels for a total acreage of approximately 320 acres. The current use is for quarry excavation to recover primarily sand. Surface elevations are denoted on the Tentative Map. Future use of the property is proposed to be a reclamation lake for aquaculture, which will consist of 183 acres. The Assessors Parcel Number(A.P.N.) is referenced above on the Title Page. The property is bordered to the northwest by Mossdale Road, Interstate 5, and agricultural production land on the west side of I-5, primarily row crops. To the east is the Union Pacific Railroad, farmland, the San Joaquin River and Weatherbee Lake. To the north is a Mobile Horne Park and the San Joaquin River, and to the southwest is agricultural production land consisting of row crops and pasture. 1 Valley Ag Research
