Mr. Mark Meissner <br /> April 9, 2020 <br /> Page 2 <br /> in California. Tailpipe emissions from automobiles using leaded gasoline <br /> contained lead and resulted in aerially deposited lead (ADL) being deposited in <br /> and along roadways throughout the state. ADL-contaminated soils still exist <br /> along roadsides and medians and can also be found underneath some existing <br /> road surfaces due to past construction activities. Due to the potential for <br /> ADL-contaminated soil DTSC, recommends collecting soil samples for lead <br /> analysis prior to performing any intrusive activities for the project described in <br /> the EIR. <br /> 3. If buildings or other structures are to be demolished on any project sites included <br /> in the proposed project, surveys should be conducted for the presence of <br /> lead-based paints or products, mercury, asbestos containing materials, and <br /> polychlorinated biphenyl caulk. Removal, demolition and disposal of any of the <br /> above-mentioned chemicals should be conducted in compliance with California <br /> environmental regulations and policies. In addition, sampling near current and/or <br /> former buildings should be conducted in accordance with DTSC's 2006 Interim <br /> Guidance Evaluation of School Sites with Potential Contamination from Lead <br /> Based Paint, Termiticides, and Electrical Transformers <br /> (httl)s://dtsc.ca.gov/wpcontent/uploads/sites/31/2018/09/Guidance Lead <br /> Contamination 050118.pdf). <br /> 4. If any projects initiated as part of the proposed project require the importation of <br /> soil to backfill any excavated areas, proper sampling should be conducted to <br /> ensure that the imported soil is free of contamination. DTSC recommends the <br /> imported materials be characterized according to DTSC's 2001 Information <br /> Advisory Clean Imported Fill Material (https:Hdtsc.ca.gov/wp- <br /> content/uploads/sites/31/2018/09/SMP FS Cleanfill-Schools.pdf). <br /> 5. If any sites included as part of the proposed project have been used for <br /> agricultural, weed abatement or related activities, proper investigation for <br /> organochlorinated pesticides should be discussed in the EIR. DTSC <br /> recommends the current and former agricultural lands be evaluated in <br /> accordance with DTSC's 2008 Interim Guidance for Sampling Agricultural <br /> Properties (Third Revision) (https:Hdtsc.ca.gov/wp- <br /> content/uploads/sites/31/2018/09/Ag-Guidance-Rev-3-August-7-2008-2.pdf). <br /> DTSC appreciates the opportunity to comment on Phase 2 of the Project.
