STANDARD PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES County, State and Federal environmental records were reviewed for sites which may have impacted the subject property. The databases accessed did not indicate a problem or potential problem with the subject site. The Bacchetti's have owned the property for the past ten years. Prior to their ownership, a Mrs. Silva owned the property since the 1940's. Past surrounding land use has been agricultural production and very low density residential. Records at the San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner's office indicate alfalfa is the predominate crop grown in this area. There are two primary sources of information which document and define past land use, although occasionally they are difficult to interpret. The first is the use of aerial photographs. Aerial photographs of the subject area in the 1950's and 1960's located at the University of California at Davis indicate no changes in the subject property, as best as could be determined. The second type of information are United States Geological Survey (USGS)maps. The 1971 map illustrates the three referenced buildings and no others. INFORMATION FROM SITE RECONNAISSANCE AND INTERVIEWS The following information was obtained visually and/or through an interview with Frank and Joseph Bacchetti: The subject property contains no underground or above ground storage tanks (UST/AST). There is an on-site, conventional septic system with a tank and leachfield area. Pesticides (insecticides/herbicides)used in this year's alfalfa production are not stored on the subject property. When pesticides are used, an independent applicator is responsible for storage and container disposal. There were no containers noted on-site, other than three, empty 55 gallon drums which had no markings and had obviously been empty for some time. The subject property was surveyed for evidence which is indicative of surface and/or subsurface contamination: There are no transformers on-site;therefore,there is no concern from polychloride biphenyl (PCB) contamination. Nor was there any evidence of solid waste disposal. The site was carefully inspected for environmental concerns originating from discolored, disturbed or subsided soils, stressed vegetation(other than sprayed with herbicide), and unusual or noxious odors. None of these environmental indicators were present. 3 `Uaffey Aq P,�searck
