9.0 CONCLUSIONS This SSCR was prepared for the Van Elderen property, 19238 and 19242 East Highway 120, Ripon, California, to identify evidence of any on- or off-site, current or past, sources of contamination. Several potential sources of contamination have been identified and summarized in Section 8.0; most of these are typical of similar properties in the area. The San Joaquin County Environmental Heath Department will review this report and notify the property owner if any action is required at this time. 10.0 LIMITATIONS This SSCR has been prepared for the exclusive purpose of processing of a land use application through the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD). It is authorized for use only by the client and the EHD, and for a maximum time period of six months from its date of completion. The standard of care employed is typical for this type of report. Live Oak does not represent that all existing or potential contamination has been identified, although an attempt has been made to identify typical contamination sources. The SSCR is a document specific to the San Joaquin County Development Title, §9-905.12; it is not equivalent to a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), does not comply with ASTM E 1527, cannot be used to provide Landowner Liability Protections under CERCLA, and does not claim to identify "recognized environmental conditions." Any interested parties are advised to obtain a Phase I ESA before making decisions related to the presence or absence of recognized environmental conditions on the Site. This report is not to be used to determine compliance with local, State, or Federal requirements, including but not limited to water quality, septic system performance, waste discharge, and hazardous materials handling. This report relies on many sources; Live Oak cannot warrant the accuracy or completeness of information provided by those sources. Furthermore, no sample collection and analysis has been performed as part of this report; without soil and groundwater analysis, all conclusions of this report should be considered professional opinion, not scientific certainty. Site conditions and regulatory guidelines are subject to change and may invalidate portions of this report. This report and its recommendations in no way fulfill or reduce for the property owner's responsibilities related to the environmental management of the Site under local, State, and Federal law. Finally, many sources of contamination are identified by a typical SSCR. Although the EHD may not require a response to all conditions identified, Live Oak recommends that the client thoroughly consider all identified conditions and contact the EHD or our office for further guidance on any unresolved issues.
