+ KLEINFELDER <br /> Maintenance activities at the Spreckels Manteca plant also included the repair of motor vehicles <br /> such as cars and farm machinery, and the maintenance of a locomotive operated on site by <br /> Spreckels. The locomotive maintenance was not conducted at a specific location but was done <br /> on the tracks wherever necessary. <br /> The Spreckels Manteca property also contains a large amount of cropland, mostly almond <br /> orchards and grain crops. The cropland served two purposes: providing a buffer zone between <br /> the factory and the adjacent community, and providing a means of disposing of clarified <br /> wastewater from the plant via irrigation. The sediment which would accumulate in the <br /> wastewater ponds was periodically removed and spread on the feedlot. Beet chips, organic <br /> material and dirt removed from the beets was also spread on the feedlot where cattle consumed <br /> the edible portion. <br /> BACKGROUND ON THIS AREA OF CONCERN <br /> Since its construction in 1917, the Manteca Sugar Factory has been operated by Spreckels Sugar <br /> Company (Spreckels). Railroad spurs have been located on site since the construction of the <br /> factory. Various herbicides or waste oil may have been used for weed control along the railroad <br /> tracks. Hazardous substances may have been transported on site via railcars. Creosote and/or <br /> pentachlorophenol may have been used to treat the railroad ties in the railbed. Locomotive <br /> maintenance was conducted on site wherever necessary. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), oils, <br /> and solvents may be associated with said maintenance. <br /> Meinfelder's conducted a limited soil assessment in the areas of the railroad spurs on the former <br /> Spreckels Sugar Plant No. 2 in Manteca, California. Mr. Mike Atherton of Atherton-Kirk <br /> Development, retained Kleinfelder to conduct the assessment in accordance with our contract dated <br /> August 27, 1996, and our proposal/subsequent additional authorization dated November 19, 1996. <br /> The assessment was done as follow-up services in response to Kleinfelder's "Phase I <br /> Environmental Site Assessment, Former Spreckels Sugar Plant, 18800 South Spreckels Road, <br /> Manteca, California"report dated October 18, 1996(Kleinfelder File No. 20-3978-0LPO 1). <br /> 20-3978-0 L W32/2017P 110 <br /> ® 1997 Kleinfelder,Inc.
