2 . Earth <br /> Potentially Hazardous Soil Conditions on the Site <br /> Setting: <br /> The project site was subject to a remediation project to <br /> remove petroleum-contaminated soil from an underground fuel <br /> tank that provided No. 6 fuel for a boiler used by the <br /> cannery. This remediation project was carried out under <br /> State Department of Health Services permit and was completed <br /> in December of 1990 . <br /> For the proposed project , hydrocarbon contaminated soil will <br /> be imported to the site for processing. As discussed in <br /> Section l .a. , above, this soil treatment operation will <br /> introduce hydrocarbon contaminated soil to the site which <br /> has the potential to be hazardous. However , this material <br /> is classified under the Health and Safety Code as "designat- <br /> ed waste" which is defined as nonhazardous waste which <br /> consists of or contains pollutants which under ambient <br /> environmental conditions could be released at concentrations <br /> which do not pose a threat to water quality. <br /> Analysis: <br /> As proposed, only contaminated soil which meets the criteria <br /> for nonhazardous waste will be allowed on site for process- <br /> ing. Any contaminated soil which does not meet or exceeds <br /> these criteria, will be rejected and either returned to the <br /> place of origin or transported to a facility which is ap- <br /> proved to receive hazardous waste. <br /> Mitigation Measures: <br /> a. A self-certification and hazardous waste screening <br /> process should be implemented as part of the soil acceptance <br /> and verification protocol program. <br /> b. The contaminated soil stockpile berm should be designed <br /> to retain a 100-year storm condition. <br /> 3 . Plant/Animal Life <br /> Disturbance to Any Habitat for Plants and Animals <br /> Setting and Analysis: <br /> The project site is within an urban industrial area with <br /> very little to offer in terms of vegetation or wildlife <br /> habitat . The site is the former location for a food can- <br /> nery, and consists of paved areas, gravel areas and bare <br /> ground. The San Joaquin River lies approximately 4 ,000 feet <br /> southwest of the project site, with the City of Stockton <br /> waste water oxidation ponds beyond. Due to its location in <br /> an industrial area, the project involves no potential for <br /> 21 <br />
