DTSC COMMENTS REVISED PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKPLAN STOCKTON UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTIRICT PROPOSED ALEX G. SPANOSCALIFORNIAELEMENTARY MENTY SCHOOL SITE STOCKTON BACKGROUND The proposed site is approximately 2.5 acres comprising one city block. The mixed residential and commercial block includes single and multiple family residential structures, constructed as early as 1937, on 15 of the 20 parcels. Parcel 149-085-19 was used as an automotive painting and then automotive repair shop in the 1930's, and was used as a carpenters shop in 1895 and paint and printer storage facility in 1950. Parcel 149-085-16 was used as the San Joaquin Mortuary from 1949 through 1985. Parcel 149-085=02 was reportedly used to sell illegal drugs. Currently four parcels are reported vacant. The site is surrounded by mixed residential and commercial sites. During the August 15, 2005 scoping meeting between the Stockton Unified School District (District) and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), DTSC was informed that an existing city park directly to the north of the site would be used as joint use park. Historically, the park was the site of a former school and residential dwellings. The Draft PEA Workplan indicates that the park area is no longer being considered as a joint use park by the District. The following DTSC staff have reviewed and provided comments herein to the draft Preliminary Environmental Assessment Work Plan (PEA Workplan). Please contact the Project Manager if you have any questions on the comments. Original comments from the Human and Ecological Risk Division (HERD) are available for review in the DTSC project file.
