4.1.5 COUNTY ASSESSOR OFFICE AEI contacted the San Joaquin County Assessor's Office (SJCAO) for information on the subject property. According to the SJCAO, the APN for the subject property is 221-250-05, and the subject property totals 27.84 acres. A copy of the Assessor's Parcel Map is included in Appendix D. 4.1.6 DEPARTMENT OF OIL AND GAS The California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) maps concerning the subject property and nearby properties were reviewed. DOGGR maps contain information regarding oil and gas development. According to the DOGGR map, there are no oil or gas wells on or within 500 feet of the subject property. However, the DOGGR map indicated the presence of an oil or gas well within approximately 1,000 feet of the subject property, located on the north adjacent property. Based on the relative distance from the subject property, this well is not expected to represent a significant environmental concern. 4.1.7 OTHER AGENCIES SEARCHED AEI contacted the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for information concerning the subject property and the former Spreckels Sugar Company Facility. Files at the RWQCB may contain information regarding hazardous materials storage, as well as information regarding unauthorized releases of petroleum hydrocarbons or other contaminants that may affect the soil or groundwater in the area. According to files reviewed at the RWQCB, the subject property was previously part of the former Spreckels Sugar Company's beet sugar processing/sugar extraction plant, also known as the Manteca Sugar Factory. The beet sugar processing plant was originally developed in 1917 by the Spreckels Sugar Company. This facility operated with unlined wastewater ponds (typical of other beet sugar plants) that contaminated groundwater with elevated TDS, bicarbonate, calcium, chloride, nitrate, sodium, and sulfate. In addition to the wastewater ponds, additional features located on the former Spreckels Sugar site included lime ponds, mud ponds, aboveground and underground fuel storage tanks, cooling towers, disposal areas, cattle feed lots, railroad tracks, five septic systems, orchards and crop land. The majority of these features were located north and northwest of the subject property. The on-site operations of the facility were discontinued in 1995. The former plant building, which was located approximately 1,500 feet northwest of the subject property, was also demolished in 1995. The former Spreckels Sugar site was bound to the north by Yosemite Avenue, to the south by California State Highway 120 Bypass, to the west by Spreckels Road, and to the east by California State Highway 99. See Figure 1: Site Location Map for visual reference. According to information obtained from a report entitled, 2"' Semi Annual 2004 Groundwater Monitoring Report Former Spreckels Sugar Plant No. 2, 18800 South Spreckels Road, Manteca, California (WDR Order #R5-2003-0024) by Kleinfelder Inc. (Kleinfelder) and dated March 9, 2005, sugar beets were transported from the farm areas of the former Spreckels Sugar site to the processing plant via trucks and railcar. The site utilized an underground beet flume, which utilized water to transport the beets from the unloading area to the factory. After unloading, Project No. 297376 AE1 June 22, 2011 Page 12 Consultants
