approximately 9.54 acres and is identified with Assessor Parcel Number 145-190-08. The address associated with the parcel is listed as 1404 West Weber Avenue. Currently, the Site is occupied by one industrial building in the southeast corner. The western portion of the site is paved with asphalt and concrete up to the dock frontage along Mormon Slough. Railroad alignments that ran along the Stockton Deep Water Channel serviced warehouse buildings that once existed on the properties adjoining the site to the north. There are currently no tenants occupying the site. The site is secured by a chain link fence and gate. 2.2 Previous Work American Geological Services, Inc. (AGS) was retained in October of 2000 to conduct a Phase I environmental site assessment of the site. The purpose of the Phase I investigation was to evaluate the potential for adverse environmental impacts by past or present activities conducted on and in the vicinity of the Site, in an effort to minimize exposure liability pursuant to the Superfund Authorization and Reorganization Amendments (SARA), known generally as the "Innocent Landowner Defense". The standard for the site assessment was based on the American Society for Testing and Materials Practice ASTM E-1527 - 97. Activities performed included a Site visit and collection of information from federal, state, and local agencies, as well as past and present owners and tenants of the Site. Based on the available information gathered by AGS during the performance of the Phase I site assessment, the following conclusions were reached and recommendations made: The Site is largely isolated from impact from most areas of potential contamination by its location on a peninsula bounded by the Stockton Deep Water Channel and Mormon Slough. Leaks at underground storage tanks at adjoining facilities were successfully remediated and the sites are closed. The McCormick and Baxter wood preserving company was located to the south of the site and on the other side of Mormon Slough at 1295 W. Washington Street. The McCormick and Baxter site has been designated a Superfund site and is currently being investigated for the lateral and vertical extent of contamination. Soil borings were installed on the site to determine if contaminants were present that far north. Marie Lacey, the EPA Remedial Project Manager for the McCormick and Baxter Superfund Site, indicated in a phone conversation with AGS on October 24, 2000 that the analyses of the soil borings showed no contamination at the site and further sampling of the property would most likely not be required.
