Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> Maureen F. Gorsen, Director <br /> Linda S.Adams 8800 Cal Center DriveArnold Schwarzenegger <br /> Secretary for Sacramento, California 95826-3200 ��� �5���]�D Governor <br /> Environmental Protection l,/ <br /> February 14, 2008 FEB ! p 2008 <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Dear Community Member: ENVIRONMENTAL NE,A H DEP[ <br /> The purpose of this letter is to introduce myself to you, inform you of a cleanup project located at <br /> 712 South Sacramento Street in Lodi (referred to as the Site), and to invite you to participate in a <br /> brief Community Survey which is enclosed. <br /> The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is the regulatory agency providing <br /> oversight of the investigations and future cleanup activities at the Site. Your response to this <br /> survey will enable DTSC to determine the level of community interest, conduct appropriate <br /> community outreach activities, and inform the community of the project's status. <br /> The 0.73-acre Site housed a manufactured gas plant from 1913 to 1928; PG&E acquired the gas <br /> plant in 1926. This plant produced gas for the lighting, cooking and heating needs of local <br /> residents. The plant was shut down in 1928, dismantled in 1956 and the Site is currently vacant. <br /> The majority of the Site is paved and there is a small building located in the northwest corner of <br /> the Site; the entire Site is fenced with access provided through a locked gate located on South <br /> Sacramento Street. <br /> During site investigation activities, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum hydrocarbons, <br /> arsenic, antimony and lead were detected in shallow soils at various locations throughout the <br /> site. Over the next year, PG&E will be conducting additional site investigations to determine the <br /> extent of soil and groundwater contamination and the best methods to clean these up. <br /> PG&E will submit a draft Removal Action Workplan for cleanup of the contamination to the <br /> DTSC for review and approval. In cooperation with PG&E, and pursuant to state regulations, <br /> DTSC will be overseeing the investigation and cleanup project of the site. Prior to DTSC's <br /> approval of the proposed cleanup activities, you will receive a fact sheet that provides a <br /> summary of the proposed cleanup activities. <br /> Thank you in advance for filling out and returning the enclosed community survey to me by <br /> February 28, 2008. If you have any questions regarding the investigation, proposed cleanup <br /> activities at this site or the attached community survey, please contact me toll free at <br /> (866)495-5651 or at(916) 255-3651 or by e-mail to hnelson@dtsc.ca.gov. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> AIO,C� 7� <br /> Heidi Nelson <br /> DTSC Public Participation Specialist <br /> 9 Printed on Recycled Paper <br />
