Impact Discussion: a) Less-than-Significant Impact. Under existing conditions, the project site is unoccupied and contains several soil stockpiles associated with the site's previous use as biomass energy facility, which has since been demolished. A Phase II subsurface investigation was conducted at the project site to investigate impacts of the potential release of hazardous materials that may have been handled on the project site as a result of previous on-site operations. The Phase II subsurface investigation included a geophysical survey, the advancement of 12 soil borings, and the collection of one shallow soil sample and one four-point composite soil sample. A total of 14 soil samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, and metals. After analysis, the Phase II investigation determined that various metals are present within the subsurface at shallow depths; however, none of the detected metals exceed California Code of Regulations Title 22 criteria indicating that on-site soils would be considered a hazardous waste. If affected soil were to be moved off site, additional sampling may be required to confirm whether the soil meets receiving facility criteria, although such sampling would be required only to meet receiving facility criteria and the retaining of soil on site would not pose a risk to future occupants of the site. The Phase II investigation also found evidence of residual total petroleum hydrocarbons in soil beneath the project site; however, these detections are below the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Board Enter project#s. —Initial Study 19
