TASK 11. Public Participation. (a) The Agency and DTSC will conduct appropriate public participation activities given the nature of the community surrounding the Property or group of Properties and the level of community interest. The Agency will work cooperatively with DTSC to ensure that the affected and interested public and community are involved in the decision- making process applicable to the clean-up of the Property or group of Properties, taking into account the Agency's existing public participation capabilities and procedures. DTSC and the Agency will strive to integrate the public participation activities associated with the RAP or Cleanup Plan with the public participation activities associated with the development of the Properties or group of Properties to the maximum extent possible. (b) A scoping meeting may be held to determine the appropriate activities that will be conducted as part of the public participation plan. If necessary, the Agency will then prepare a public participation plan for the Property or group of Properties that describes the proximity of homes and/or schools, day care facilities, churches, and similar uses; the current and proposed land uses within and adjacent to the Property or group of Properties; media interest; and involvement of community groups and elected officials. The plan shall also include a mailing list, identify appropriate information repositories, and specify the public participation activities that the Agency will undertake to provide opportunities for public involvement in site-related decisions. The Agency and DTSC will evaluate whether a fact sheet and public notices are necessary, as well as their content, distribution and circulation, and whether a public meeting is appropriate depending on the circumstances and the nature of the remedial or removal action, as well as any other public participation procedures. TASK 12. Land Use Covenant. If required pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 67391.1, the Parties agree that the final RAP or Cleanup Plan will contain a requirement for a land use covenant imposing appropriate limitations on land use when hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous constituents or hazardous wastes will remain at the Property or group of Properties at levels that are determined by DTSC as not suitable for unrestricted use of the land. If DTSC determines a land use covenant is necessary, the Agency agrees to sign and record a land use covenant approved by DTSC, or if the Agency is not the Property Owner, the Agency will arrange for the Property Owner to sign and record the land use covenant approved by DTSC. The land use covenant must be recorded in the County where the land is located prior to DTSC's determination that a remedial or removal action has been properly completed in accordance with the final Remedial Action Plan or Cleanup Plan for a Property or group of Properties. 19 of 31
