GE GENESIS ENGINEERING&REDEVELOPMENT 1.0 INTRODUCTION The California Environmental Protection Agency,Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is currently providing oversight under the State Orphan Program for the Gordon Research Company Property located at 1085 South Union Road, Manteca, California, designated as assessor's parcel number(APN) 222-240-12 ("Site") (Figures 1 and 2). A preliminary investigation of the Site was performed as documented in the September 7, 2012 Preliminary Endangerment Assessment Report prepared by Arcadis, Inc. (Arcadis 2012) under DTSC Contract Agreement No. 09-T9057 and 09-T9057 A2. Currently,the Islamic Center of Manteca("ICM") is interested in purchasing the Site. To facilitate this property transfer and reach cleanup goals for the Site, Genesis Engineering and Redevelopment, Inc. ("GE&R")prepared this Removal Action Workplan(RAW). 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Site Background The Site is a 3.67 acre parcel located in a predominantly residential area. Historic operations on the Site involved chemical reformulation, repackaging, and retail since before 1984. In 1986,the Site owner was prohibited from handling hazardous substances or wastes. A 1988 inspection reported 10 to 20 drums of chemicals with markings similar to military specifications. A 2007 inspection reported various unlabeled containers and high-pressure cylinders. The DTSC issued an Imminent and Substantial Determination and Order on November 21, 2007 to address on-Site conditions (I&SED 07/08-005). The Gordon Family Trust,together with Nichols Consulting Engineers,conducted hazardous classification, identification, and removal of materials noted in the 2007 inspection report. A Completion Report, Chemical Identification and Disposal Plan(Nichols, 2009) includes manifests and other waste disposal documentation. Because the Gordon Family Trust could not complete all tasks in the DTSC I&SED Order,the DTSC in 2009 issued a Notice of Final Determination of Non-Compliance,resulting in the classification of the Site as"Orphan". 2.2 Site Description The Site is bounded to the east by South Union Road, Brock Elementary School to the southwest, and residential properties to the north, south, and west. The Islamic Center of Manteca occupies the property to the east of the Site across South Union Road. Tall grass and some trees cover the majority of the Site, as well as an abandoned residence,barn, workshop, silo, sheds,a concrete foundation, and two abandoned cars as reported by Arcadis (2012). Fires have destroyed some of the structures on-Site. There is one on-Site domestic water well that is no longer used. Former Gordon Research Company Property 1 of 20 Removal Action Workplan June 2017
