1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br /> According to recent documentation, nine current and former hydraulic lifts were idetified during a <br /> Phase I Environmental Site Assessment conducted at the site in January of 2023. The report <br /> included a recommendation to determine if the hydraulic systems had leaked into the subsurface <br /> soil. <br /> 2. PHYSICAL SETTING AND SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> The Site is located at 3003 Auto Center Circle in Stockton, California. The Site resides in an area <br /> generally characterized by residential and commercial use. The general topography of the <br /> surrounding area is relatively flat and slightly slopes to the southwest towards Calaveras River. <br /> The site has operated as an automotive sales and maintenance/repair facility for multiple on-site <br /> auto dealerships from at least 1988 and is situated on 4.0-acres of land. The Site is composed of <br /> two single-story commercial buildings and an associated paved parking lot. A car wash station is <br /> located in the northeast portion of the northern building with the remaining portion of the building <br /> dedicated to auto maintenance. <br /> 3. SCOPE OF WORK <br /> Atlas has been directed by the Client to conduct due diligence of the Site and to complete a limited <br /> subsurface investigation in connection with the findings of the Phase I ESA conducted in January <br /> of 2023. Atlas will coordinate preliminary field activities, conduct drilling at the Site, and report the <br /> investigations findings. Activities completed during the Limited Subsurface Investigation are <br /> described as follows. <br /> 3.1 Health, Safety, Permitting and Utility Clearance <br /> As required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard "Hazardous <br /> Waste Operations and Emergency Response" guidelines (29 CFR 1910.120), and by California <br /> Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA) "Hazardous Waste Operations and <br /> Emergency Response" guidelines (CCR Title 8, Section 5192), a Site-Specific Health and Safety <br /> Plan (HASP)was prepared prior to the commencement of fieldwork. The Site-Specific HASP was <br /> reviewed and signed by all field staff and contractors before beginning field operations at the site. <br /> Atlas obtained drilling permits from the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> (SJCEHD) prior to beginning field work. <br /> Prior to initiation of drilling activities, Atlas marked the proposed drilling locations with white paint <br /> and contacted USA North utility locator service. Utility locators were requested to identify the <br /> location of any buried structures or utilities on the property. A private utility locator service was <br /> also utilized to further identify potential subsurface utilities in proposed drilling locations. <br /> 3.2 Field Activities <br /> An Atlas geologist will supervised the advancement of soil borings by a C-57 licensed drilling <br /> contractor over approximately two days. Soil borings will be advanced using a direct push drilling <br /> system, to evaluate soil conditions beneath the site for the potential presence of contaminant <br /> impacts. Six soil borings will be advanced to a maximum depth of 20 feet below ground surface <br />
