SECTION III. GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTION This section provides a brief description of the site, the physical setting of the site and vicinity, and a summary of previous environmental investigations. A. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND VICINITY The subject property consists of an approximately five-acre parcel of land occupied by an approximately 50,000- square-foot single-story industrial building and a 1,500-square-foot single-story office structure. The Site is located on the south side of Industrial Drive approximately 500 feet east of McKinley Avenue, within an industrial area. The San Joaquin County Assessor's parcel number is APN 177-28-020. The subject buildings were vacant during the PEI site visits in 2010 and during the current investigation. NICA Metals, a materials recycling business, most recently occupied the Site, from mid-2008 to late 2009. The property is bordered by the following: North: Immediately by Industrial Drive, then by a commercial-use property occupied by Horizon Milling (3939 Producers Dr.). East: Immediately by a large commercial-use shipping warehouse property (440 Industrial Dr.), then by Gibraltar Court. South: Immediately and farther south by undeveloped/vacant properties (apparently Union Pacific Railroad easements, according to the assessor's parcel map). West: Immediately by a railroad spur (on the subject), then commercial-use property occupied by H & H Engineering Construction, Inc. (212 Industrial Dr.), then by a vacant property, and farther west by a railroad right of way, then by McKinley Avenue. The site location and local topography are illustrated in Figure 1, adapted from the USGS 7.5- minute Stockton West Quadrangle, 1968, photo-revised 1987. An aerial photograph of the property and its surroundings buildings is provided as Figure 2. B. PHYSIOGRAPHIC AND TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS The subject property's physical setting was researched employing the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle (Quad) Map (scale of 1 inch to 2,000 feet) relevant to the subject property, the Stockton West Quadrangle (1987 photorevision). The map shows physical features such as wetlands, roadways, railroads, mines, and buildings. The Stockton West Quadrangle was used as the Standard Physical Setting Source, and is sufficient as a single reference.
