Education BS Geology, California State University, Fresno, 1990 Certifications OSHA Health and Safety Training for Hazardous Waste Workers Select Project Experience A representative selection of Ms. Racca's project experience is included below. Plant Closure and Redevelopment, Former Spreckels Sugar Plant No. 2, Spreckels Development Committed, Manteca, California. Conducted a Phase I ESA of a 362 acre beet sugar processing plant which began operation in 1916 resulting in twenty- nine recommendations for further assessment or mitigation. Environmental concerns included former plant operations and equipment maintenance, underground and above ground fuel storage, on-site landfills, buried debris, and agricultural operations. A field investigation program was developed to address the recommendations of the Phase I ESA. Assessment techniques included the collection of samples from 321 soil borings and surface sample locations, collection of discrete groundwater samples, installation of groundwater monitoring wells, soil-gas probes, and geophysical techniques. Statistical and risk assessment approaches were utilized to evaluate much of the data. Because of the impending sale of the property, the entire project was conducted on a fast track basis.
