TASK / OPERATION SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN This section provides a brief description and history of the Site and discusses the proposed Site activities, associated health hazards, and appropriate protective actions. 2.1 Site Description and History The Site currently has a physical address of 500 East Louise Avenue, Lathrop, California, and is located on the south side of East Louise Avenue approximately 400 feet east of the intersection of East Louise Avenue and Harlan Road (Figure 1‐1). The Site is located adjacent to a mixed residential, commercial and industrial area of the City of Lathrop, San Joaquin County, California. The Site is bordered to the west by a vacant field and a McDonalds restaurant, to the south by the former San Joaquin County Cogeneration Power Plant (“Cogen”) facility and a recently completed 870,000 square‐foot (“sf”) warehouse for commercial and light industrial purposes, and to the east by the former Occidental Chemical Company (“Oxy Chem”) and current JR Simplot Company (“JR Simplot”) sites. The Former Pilkington North America (“PNA”) facility at the Site includes a large structure formerly utilized for glass manufacturing and distribution, two smaller stand‐alone metal warehouse buildings, a sanitation plant, stormwater reservoir, sprayfields and asphalt parking areas. Glass manufacturing operations ceased in 2014 after over 50 years of operation. A furnace, furnace stack, conveyance machinery, above ground storage tank, and other facilities associated with the manufacturing process have been demolished pursuant to permits from the City of Lathrop. The Site is principally occupied by a Kraft Heinz distribution center. The northeastern portion of the Site is generally vacant and undeveloped with the exception of a rail spur. The rail spur is located along the southern portion of the Site and then extends to the northeast corner of the Site. 2.2 Summary of Prior Subsurface Investigations Conducted on the Site This section describes prior subsurface investigations at the Site as summarized in the Soil Management Plan prepared by EKI in May 2019.
