KLEINFELDER <br />3 BACKGROUND <br />The San Joaquin County Mosquito & Vector Control District (SJC/MVCD) requested a'Phase II <br />Environmental Site Assessment for the above -referenced site. The Phase II scope of work is <br />summarized in Kleinfelder's proposal titled "Proposal/Cost Estimate, Phase U Environmental <br />Site Assessment Update, Mosquito Abatement Property, 200 North Beckman Road, Lodi, <br />California," (File Number ST03P327) dated September 3, 2003. The scope of work was <br />developed based on information summarized in a prior Phase I Environmental Site Assessment <br />(ESA) for the subject site and on Kleinfelder's brief site visit interview with Mr. John Stroh of <br />SJC/MVCD on August 14, 2003. <br />The prior ESA was conducted by Neil O. Anderson & Associates, Inc. (NOA). The ESA was <br />titled "Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Mosquito Abatement Property, 200 North <br />Beckman Road, Lodi CA, 95240," dated January 10, 2001 The NOA report referenced previous <br />Phase II work at the site, including underground storage tank (UST) removal, soil excavation of <br />petroleum impacted soil, and former monitoring well sampling and analyses at the site. <br />Appendicized in the NOA report was a report conducted by Weston environmental consultants <br />titled "Case Closure Report, Site Code 1849, 200 North Beckman Road, Lodi, California," dated <br />May 1997. The Weston report illustrated specific information related to groundwater flow <br />direction and UST excavated areas including sampling locations and cross sections of the former <br />UST area. This information was used in part to develop monitoring well installation locations <br />and soil and groundwater sampling and analyses in the former UST area. Also noted in the NOA <br />report is a "No Further Action", letter addressed to Mr. Stroh of the SJC/MVCD from EHD <br />stating completion of investigation and remedial activities related to former USTs at the site. <br />This letter was dated April 7, 1998 and was located in the Appendix of NOAs report. <br />The NOA ESA, (Project No. LE02-510, dated January 10, 2003) included the following selected <br />opinions, conclusions and recommendations: <br />■ "It is NOA's opinion that the subject property being on the various databases and county lists is due to the <br />leaking underground storage tank case in which the file had been reviewed. The remediation of the <br />aforementioned case did not remove all of the contamination from the soils beneath the subject property, <br />and contamination may extend to the saturated zone. The case was closed; however, it was not a clean <br />closure. It is NOA's opinion that the San Joaquin County Environmental Department could reopen the case <br />when the land use changes or at any other time. <br />• "It is NOA's opinion that the application of herbicides, pesticides (DDT in particular) and larvicides on the <br />subject property represents a threat of environmental degradation to the subject property." <br />• "It is NOA's opinion that the contamination stemming from the LUST case located immediately adjacent <br />and north of the subject property has migrated under the subject site property. The responsible party in the <br />case has been identified. However, it is NOA's opinion that some contention as to the responsibility of the <br />extent of the contamination might arise if the knowledge of the amount of residual contamination on the <br />362741 ST03R1919 Page 4 of 19 <br />0 2004 Kleinfetder, Inc.
