§ 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED:DEVELOPMENT This Surface and Subsurface Contamination:Report(SSCR)contains the results of my findings for the subject property located at 9849 North Jack.Tone Road; northeast.of Stockton, California. This report was prepared for the owner of the property- Mr. and Mrs:Steve and Peggy Morrissey, and the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD). 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. 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 ERD 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/or present on-site septic systems, agrichemical mixing sites/applications, and electrical transformers. No chemical analysis was conducted by Chesney Consulting for this investigation,nor was there an inspection and testing of the on-site residential structure and outbuildings for asbestos containing materials(ACMs)and/or lead paint since these analyses are outside the scope of the SSCR as promulgated in the County Ordinances. 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 issued 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 maybe obtained directly from appropriate government agencies or from commercial-services." § 1.1 The description of the site and the project is as follows: The existing subject Parcel consists of . 13.28 acres, as described by the APN and District Viewer Maps. .It is proposed to create throughfi: t a Minor Subdivision, a Finance Parcel of 3.00 acres net, 3.47 acres gross, and a remainder Parcel t designated as the Remainder Parcel, at 9.76 acres net and 9.81 acres gross. The designation of the remainder Parcel as the Designated Remainder will make a difference regarding the perc testing required for completion of the Soil Suitability Study for this project. Page -2-.
