r�� § 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report(SSCR) contains the results of my findings for property located on Steinegul Road east of Escalon, California. This report was prepared exclusively for Mr. Frank Bavaro, and the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD). The purpose of this study was to investigate and identify real or potential surface and subsurface contamination existing within, or around the entire subject property and report the findings to the Client and the Environmental Health Department. According to the San Joaquin County Development Title, a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report is required at the time of Tentative Map submittal, or for development/improvement of antiquated subdivisions. The San Joaquin County 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 and/or Dibromochloropropane (DBCP) concentrations in the underlying groundwater. Potential point sources include fuel tanks, discarded items, septic systems, historical agrichemical applications and electrical transformers. No chemical analysis was conducted for this investigation, nor was there an inspection and testing of the adjacent buildings for asbestos containing materials (AGMs), or other hazardous materials. 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. This Surface and Subsurface Contamination approaches,but does not completely 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 is as follows: The subject property consists of five antiquated parcels,which were subdivided before 1972. Current land use is completely fallow agricultural production land. A building pad is in the process of being prepared for residential homesite construction on Parcel 7,which is the westernmost Parcel. A pipeline, referred to as the"Sweet Pipeline"traverses Parcel 4 of the property in a north-south direction as depicted on the Site Plan found in Appendix A. Zoning is AL-5. Chesney Consulting
