LFR Levine-Fricke Response to Comments Remedial Action Plan for Pyrolytic Oil-and Metals-Affected Soil at the Tracy Tire Fire Site The State Clearinghouse distributed the Negative Declaration and Initial Study to state agencies: There were no comments from state agencies. The State Clearinghouse has certified that the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)has complied with review requirements for the draft environmental document pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Comments from and Responses to the San Joaquin County Public Works Department: 1. Comment: Page 43, Section 15, Transportation and Traffic, Subsections a-f: Your study needs to address the potential damage to the haul route road surface from the trucks as well as the size of the trucks and the number of axles. Response: The proposed haul route road is currently used by heavy trucks hauling materials for the nearby local mining and industrial facilities. The proposed trucks are three axle-trucks that will be towing two-axle, 40-cubic yard trailers. The vehicles proposed for the remediation activities at the Tracy Tire Fire Site are anticipated to cause a less than significant impact to the County designated haul route. A transportation plan will be submitted to San Joaquin County by the contractor before hauling begins. 2. Comment: Page 25, Section 5, Cultural Resources, Subsection(a), paragraph 1: While "no resources within the project area that are known to have value to local cultural groups have been reported to the CCIC" there is no indication that local Native American tribal representatives were directly notified of the proposed project. Response: The project consultant, Levine-Fricke(LFR)contacted the Native American Heritage Commission(NAHC)on September 3, 2003. The NAHC was provided with a project description and contact information regarding the proposed Tracy Tire Fire Site remediation activities. LFR, the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), and the California Integrated Waste Management Board(CIWMB) will coordinate with the NAHC and other Native American representatives as necessary. As previously described, the project site is an excavated gravel pit. Historic resources are not expected to be present. 3. Comment: Page 25, Section 5, Cultural Resources, Subsection(a), paragraph 2: Provide supporting reason(s)n as to why "a survey for historic resources recommended by the CCIC would not result in the identification of any resources" as concluded by Mr. John Holson of Pacific Legacy Incorporated.
