Hickox Gray Davis <br /> Secretary for Governor <br /> Environmental <br /> Protection January 21 , 2000 <br /> Mr. Steve Pinkerton, Director <br /> Housing and Redevelopment Department <br /> City of Stockton <br /> 305 N. EI Dorado Street, Suite 200 <br /> Stockton, California 95202 <br /> PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE OVERSIGHT AND CONSULTATION <br /> AGREEMENT: NORTH SHORE PROPERTY/BANNER ISLAND <br /> Dear Mr. Pinkerton: <br /> DTSC has received and performed an initial review of the "Site Characterization <br /> Report, North Shore Parcels, Stockton, California” (Report) submitted on behalf of <br /> the Stockton Department of Housing and Redevelopment. The Report was <br /> submitted to meet the requirements outlined in the Oversight and Consultative <br /> Agreement, effective December 28, 1999, which stated that an initial site <br /> investigation report was to be a Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA). <br /> The purpose of a PEA is to determine whether past or current practices have <br /> resulted in the release or threatened release of hazardous substances which pose a <br /> threat to public health or the environment. It is the first major step in the site <br /> remediation process and is used to determine whether an investigation and remedial <br /> actions are necessary. DTSC's initial analysis of the report indicates the site will <br /> require additional characterization and remedial action, which will require the City to <br /> conduct a Site Investigation and a Remedial Action Plan. Site Investigations are <br /> performed to determine the full extent of a hazardous release at a site, identify the <br /> public health and environmental threat posed by the release, collect data on possible <br /> remedies, and otherwise evaluate the site for purposes of developing a remedial <br /> action plan. We believe it would be more expeditious and cost effective to proceed <br /> directly with the site investigation study and use the current information as the basis <br /> of completing this evaluation. <br /> A meeting was held in your office on January 18, 2000, to outline the benefits in <br /> proceeding with the Site Investigation and to amend the agreement to include steps <br /> through the Remedial Action Plan phase. DTSC proposes using a "binder approach" <br /> that will provide your consultant the opportunity to submit components of the <br /> Remedial Investigation and Remedial Action Plan and will include specifically: Site <br /> Investigation, Public Participation, Feasibility Study, and Remedial Action Plan. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> ® Printed on Recycled Paper <br /> OSP 99 25436 <br />
