8.0 IDENTIFIED CONTAMINATION SOURCES The following sources of past, current, on-site, and off-site contamination have been identified as a result of this investigation: 1 2 3 0 5 Identified Contamination Source Evaluation The Site has been used for agriculture since 1937 or earlier; orchard has been present since the early 1970s. A variety of agricultural chemicals have been applied to the Site since 2018, as reported by the San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner's office. (Current and past on-site) The surrounding properties to the north, east, and west are used for agriculture. (Current off-site) The house on the Site dates to 1937 or earlier, while the shop appears to date to 1952 or earlier. Three structures of similar ages were removed from the Site around 2014. (Current and past on-site) A domestic well and a septic system are located on the Site. The 1976 permit mentioned an old 30 -foot deep well to be destroyed. (Current and past on-site) A few plastic buckets and containers, most empty, were observed south of the shop. (Current on-site) As with any agricultural property, agricultural chemical residues may be present in Site soils from previous applications. The typical standard of care for SSCRs does not require further investigation of agricultural use. Agricultural chemicals will continue to be applied to these properties. For any structure or former structure dating from the 1980s or earlier, the assumption is made that lead - containing materials and/or pesticide residues may be present in the vicinity of the structure. It is also possible that underground infrastructure may remain in the area. The typical standard of care for SSCRs does not require any further investigation of former structures. The existing well and septic system appear to be in use. No further information about the old well was identified. The property owner indicated that he will properly store or dispose of the containers. LOGE 2216 7
