amount of lime waste was also located in the south-central portion of the subject property. According to information provided in a 1999 subsurface investigation report by Kleinfelder, Inc. (Kleinfelder), Site B contained an estimated 2,800 cubic yards of debris, soil, and lime. In June 1999, 5,000 yards of soil and debris were excavated from Site B. Two groundwater samples and one soil sample were collected from Site B in June 1999. Laboratory analysis of the groundwater and soil samples collected from Site B reported slightly elevated concentrations of metals, toluene, 1,2,4-tri methyl benzene, total xylenes, and total cyanide. However, based on the low levels reported and the intended use of the subject property as an industrial site, Kleinfelder recommended that no further evaluation of the former disposal Site B be conducted and that the site be considered "clean-closed." Based on the trace concentrations reported within the soil and groundwater samples collected from Site B, Mr. Robert McCallum of the San Joaquin County Public Health Services Department Environmental Health Division (PHS/EHD) verbally authorized the backfilling of Site B on July 16, 1999. According to a 2001 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Update prepared for the former Spreckels Sugar site, Site B was granted a verbal "clean- closure" by Mr. Robert McCallum of the San Joaquin County PHS/EHD. In association with the subsurface investigations conducted at the former Spreckels facility, monitoring wells MW-3 and -7 were formerly located at the subject property. Kleinfelder abandoned MW-7 on July 14, 1999. Additionally, based on information obtained at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD), all of the monitoring wells associated with the former Spreckles facility have been decommissioned as of March 2011. Based on the local regulatory oversight provided during the abandonment of the former Spreckels Sugar Company wells, the former presence of these wells on the subject property is not expected to represent a significant environmental concern. With regards to the wastewater ponds formerly located on the subject property, according to information reviewed at the RWQCB, several subsurface investigations were conducted in the areas of the former wastewater ponds circa 1997-2001. Soil sampling activities conducted during this time analyzed soil samples for metals, total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHd), pesticides and herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds, triazine, and carbamate pesticides and chromium. Based on the results of these subsurface investigations, the pond areas of the former Spreckels Sugar site were classified by the RWQCB as "clean-closed" in 2002. In addition, because the ponds were "clean-closed," a deed restriction was not placed on the former wastewater ponds. According to Mr. Ross Atkinson of the RWQCB and documents reviewed at the RWQCB, the entire former Spreckels Sugar site received case closure in June 2008. However, in 2010, the case was revisited due to the identification of one well, MW-2R, which was not properly decommissioned. This well is located on the Target/AKF Development property, located at 280 Spreckles Avenue. Based on records reviewed at the San SJCEHD, all of the Spreckels Sugar Company wells had been destroyed by March 2011. According to a SJCEHD memo dated March 25, 2011, the former Spreckels Sugar Company facility wells will be provided with regulatory case closure from the RWQCB following receipt of payment for the final closure process. Information regarding the time frame expected for closure to be obtained was not ascertainable. Project No. 297376 AE1 June 22, 2011 Page iv Consultants
