CONCLUSIONS <br />AdvancedGeo <br />An Employee- Owned Company <br />Based upon the environmental activities completed, AGI provides the following <br />conclusions: <br />Buried waste, a glass waste cell, or disposal area was not identified in the Trench <br />T29 area. <br />• Pieces of trace glass cullet were observed at 1 and 3 feet bsg in T29134 and <br />between 3 and 4 feet bsg in the remaining borings, except for borings T29B6 and <br />T29131 5. AGI does not consider the pieces of trace glass cullet to be waste glass. <br />The glass comprising the waste cells and disposal areas identified to the south <br />and west (17100 and 17200 Murphy Parkway) of the site is inconsistent with the <br />glass pieces observed during this investigation. The pieces of trace glass cullet <br />observed during this investigation were more consistent with surficial glass <br />encountered at the property that was historically gathered and stored on concrete <br />pads north of the railway pending recycling. <br />• Only pieces of trace glass cullet were encountered at shallow depths in the T29 <br />area during the investigation. The waste pits encountered to the south of the <br />railway, and since remediated, contained large shards of broken glass. The pieces <br />of trace glass cullet encountered in the T29 area were entirely different. <br />• Total PCB concentrations detected in the soil samples were below the ESL, DTSC- <br />SL, and RSL for total PCBs in shallow soil at commercial/industrial properties. <br />Additionally, total PCB concentrations were below the ESL for leaching to <br />groundwater levels (Table 1). <br />• SVOC and PAH concentrations detected in the soil samples were below their <br />respective ESLs, DTSC-SLs, and RSLs for shallow soil exposure at <br />commercial/industrial properties. Additionally, SVOC and PAH concentrations <br />were below their respective ESLs for leaching to groundwater levels (Table 2). <br />• Except for arsenic, Title 22 metal concentrations detected in the soil samples were <br />below their respective ESLs, DTSC-SLs, and RSLs for shallow soil exposure at <br />commercial/industrial properties (Table 2). <br />• Arsenic was the only Title 22 metal detected above environmental screening levels <br />in the soil samples analyzed; environmental screening levels for arsenic range <br />from 0.31 mg/kg (ESL) to 3.0 mg/kg (RSL). Arsenic was detected at concentrations <br />ranging from 1.1 mg/kg (T291310) to 8.9 mg/kg (T29B3). The average arsenic <br />concentration was 2.1 mg/kg. Soil analyzed from T29133 was the only sample to <br />exceed the RSL of 3.0 mg/kg. Arsenic has historically been detected in shallow <br />soil samples collected from the site. Previous investigations have established a <br />site-specific background concentration of 8.6 mg/kg for arsenic (Site Assessment <br />Summary Report — Final dated 21 June 2018). Additionally, the DTSC has <br />determined that background concentrations of arsenic in California soils are <br />commonly high, ranging anywhere from 0.6 mg/kg to 11 mg/kg -Background <br />
