' Figure 2: Site Map) and Figure 3: Site Access Permission Granted). 2.2 Site Access As of the writing of this report, 16 of the 20 property owners have signed Site Access Agreements (See Appendix A,Figure 3: Site Access Agreements). Every effort has been made to create an accurate assessment of the Site. However,due to these access issues, ' this report's parcel description,environmental concerns and sampling plan may be amended based upon additional findings once access is granted. ' 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 Site Status and History ' 3.1.1 The Site The Site has been historically used for mixed residential and commercial purposes. State Highway 4 is located approximately 500 feet to the north. Mormon Slough is located approximately 600 feet to the south. The Atchison,Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad is approximately 900 feet to the south and the Union Pacific Railroad is 1800 feet to the ' east. Sewers were compulsory for all homes in the city of Stockton by 1892. Natural gas, first from a manufactured gas plant then later from the Stockton Gas Field which is located under the Site,was used throughout the city from the 1860's on. In 1862,the city courthouse had gas lights and by 1880 the city streets were lit by gas lights. Consequently most homes built from that period on were heated by gas and not heating oil contained in Underground Storage Tanks. Inspections of basements and crawl spaces at the Site confirmed no UST's in many of the residences on Site. The earliest documents that could be obtained pertaining to the Site (Sanborn Fire Maps) ' show the Site has been used primarily as residential housing since at least 1895. These maps show the city block comprised of approximately 29 buildings and 3 windmills with associated water wells and water storage tanks (See Appendix A,Figure 3: Sanborn Fire Maps). The residences at the Site have been primarily single family and multi-family housing units. The Sanborn Fire Maps detail the property with APN 149-085-18 (532 South California Street) as a carpenters shop in 1895 and as paint and painters storage in ' 1917. In 1930,the Polk City Directories listed this parcel as an auto paint facility and an auto repair shop in 1935. The parcel with APN 149-085-16 (544 South California Street) was the site of the San Joaquin Mortuary from 1949 through 1985. The 1895 Sanborn ' Maps also display three water wells with storage tanks that were not on the 1917 Sanborn Maps. These wells have unknown closure status.
