July 21, 1999 NOA ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT":J:1;E:;;99130 VII. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS We have performed an investigation into the current and historical uses of the subject property in order to complete a Surface and Subsurface Contamination Report. This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the subject property, except for the following: • Agricultural chemicals have been applied in the past and are currently being used on the agricultural crops grown on the eastern and western portions of the subject property. The agricultural chemical residues in the soils at the subject property could be considered toxic or hazardous if the subject property were to be converted to permanent residential development and the residue concentrations were greater than those allowed by law. It is the property owner's intent to not convert the subject property from its current uses to other uses. Furthermore,there is no evidence to suggest that the agricultural chemicals that are being applied to the subject property have been handled or applied in contravention of local, state or federal laws. It is also reasonable to presuppose that since a portion of the subject property is to remain in agricultural crops that chemicals will continue to be applied for the foreseeable future. • One plugged and abandoned well that never produced any oil is located on the subject property. Information obtained from the California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources relative to the location of that abandoned well is attached to this report as Appendix D. VIII. RECOMMENDATIONS In that the subject property will not be converted from its present use it is our opinion that no further investigation is warranted at this time. The following investigation and recommendations are warranted only if the use of the subject property is converted from agricultural to permanent residential: • If permanent residential development of the subject property occurs in the future it is recommended that discrete soil samples be acquired and analyzed for residues of agricultural chemicals that have been applied to the subject property, or are likely to have been applied in the past on the subject property. • If permanent residential development of the subject property occurs in the future it is recommended that enclosed structures not be located directly over the abandoned well, and that sufficient setbacks be designed into the building plans to allow for access to the 13
