Technical Memol-.ndum Environmental <br /> Resources <br /> Management <br /> To: James Adams, Catellus Development Corporation 1777 Botelho Drive <br /> Suite 260 <br /> From: Robin Streeter, Toxicologist Walnut Creek,CA 94596 <br /> (925)946-0455 <br /> (925)946-9968(fax) <br /> Date: 9 February, 2000 <br /> Subject: Health Risk Assessment <br /> 1325 and 1515 West Weber Avenue, Stockton, CA t <br /> _ y <br /> ERM <br /> On behalf of Catellus Development Corporation (Catellus), Environmental <br /> Resources Management (ERM) has prepared a health risk assessment <br /> (HRA) for the properties located at 1325 and 1515 West Weber Avenue in <br /> Stockton,California. The objective of the HRA was to assess whether <br /> residual hydrocarbon constituents in soil and ground water pose an <br /> unacceptable risk to human health under current and realistic future land <br /> use conditions at the subject properties. This evaluation was developed in <br /> response to a request issued on 21 December 1999 by Marty Hartzell of the <br /> Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The methodology, <br /> results, and conclusions of the HRA are described in the following <br /> sections of this memorandum. <br /> HILA METHODOLOGY <br /> The approach used to develop the HRA for the 1325 and 1515 West Weber <br /> Avenue sites followed methodologies outlined by the American Society <br /> for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and described in their Standard Guide for <br /> Risk-Based Corrective Action Applied at Petroleum Release Sites (E1739-95; <br /> 1996). In developing this analysis, modifications were made to ASTM's <br /> general procedures to incorporate applicable guidance issued by the <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency (California EPA) and the U.S. <br /> Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). <br /> The ASTM methodology provides a screening level approach that is <br /> appropriate for the evaluation of isolated or infrequent constituent <br /> detections, such as those associated with the subject properties. The <br /> ASTM methodology also emphasizes the use of site-specific exposure <br /> information to identify realistic exposure pathways and to develop risk- <br /> based screening levels for each relevant exposure pathway. Under the <br /> ASTM methodology, analytical data are then compared to the calculated <br />
