2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND 2.1 Site Setting The subject site is located in east-central Stockton, at the intersection of Laurel and Watts Streets with Fremont Street. The previous tenant was Apache Plastics, who utilized the site to manufacture extruded plastic piping. The site is currently developed, with a warehouse (approximately 260 feet by 270 feet) occupying the western portion of the property (Figure 2). The northeastern portion of the warehouse was converted to an ACE Hardware Store in 2004. The majority of the warehouse is used for recreational vehicle and boat storage. Office space is also situated within the building. Asphalt paving covers the eastern portion of the property. The property is bounded to the north by Fremont Street, to the east by residential houses, to the south by railroad tracks, and to the west by a warehouse. In 1976, Apache Plastics installed a 1,000- gallon UST beneath the sidewalk along the northern property boundary. The UST was used to store gasoline. The UST and associated product piping were removed on August It, 1992. Gasoline USTs were also formerly utilized at 2085 East Fremont Street, directly north of the Apache Plastics Facility, across Fremont Street (Figure 2). This property formerly operated as a Sunland Gasoline Station, followed by Stockton City Cab Company. Gasoline USTs were removed from this site in 1998, and hydrocarbon impact has been identified in both soil and groundwater beneath this site. A used automotive sales business is currently operated on the property. Subsurface petroleum hydrocarbon impact in the vicinity of 2085 East Fremont Street, particularly as the information pertains to the environmental case at the former Apache Plastics facility, are included in the discussion presented in this document. 2.2 Topography and Surface Conditions Topography in the vicinity of the site is generally flat, at an elevation of approximately 18 feet above mean sea level. The warehouse building, with associated concrete foundation, and asphalt driving surfaces, cover a majority of the subject property. 2.2.1 Drainage Rainwater at the site flows into on-site storm drains and into storm drains located in the curb area of East Fremont Street. The nearest surface water appears to be Mormon Creek, situated approximately 3,000 feet south of the property. 2.2.2 Land Use The areas south and west of the property are developed for commercial use, the area north of the property is developed for commercial and residential use, and the area east of the property is developed for residential use. Businesses that operate in the immediate vicinity of the site include a health center, auto sales, car wash, restaurant, tire store, machine fabrication, and food distribution. i-� g;\lpache Plasties\Reportslapache-scm-assessment report2006.doc Page 3 STRATUS
