The subject property is currently developed with a single-story building,which was constructed in 1962 and is occupied by Lakewood Plaza which includes various commercial/retail tenants such as Lakewood Meats & Sausage, Lakewood Nails, Little Caesar's, Ironside Muay Thai Gym, and Lodi Laundromat. On-site operations consist of retail food preparation, sales, management, nail and beauty activities, fitness classes, coin-operated laundry services, administrative and property maintenance activities. In addition to the structures, the subject property is improved with asphalt-paved parking areas and associated landscaping. The subject property is bound by residences to the north, a residence and North Sunset Drive to the east beyond which are residences, a gasoline station and commercial property to the south, and North Ham Lane to the west beyond which are commercial properties, a vacant lot and a residence. Refer to Figure 1 for a site vicinity map showing site features and surrounding properties. 2.2 Site History Partner completed a draft Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report(Phase I) for the subject property, dated March 8, 2023, on behalf of Sierra View Tax&Consulting. According to historical sources, the subject property was formerly developed with agricultural land as early as 1937 to circa 1949; vacant land in 1957; and developed with the current structure in 1962. Tenants on the subject property have included various commercial/retail occupants including 2 Launderette (1970); May's One Hour Martinizing Cleaners (1970- 1975); Lakewood One Hour Cleaners (1975-1980); Lakewood Dry Cleaners (1980-2013). Existing tenants include (Lakewood Meats & Sausage (1970-present); Lakewood Nails (2003-present); Little Caesar's (2017- present); Ironside Muay Thai Gym (present); and Lodi Laundromat (2009-present). The following recognized environmental condition (REC) was identified in the Phase I: • The subject property was identified as a dry cleaning facility from at least 1970 to 2013. Dry cleaning operations typically use chlorinated solvents, particularly tetrachloroethene (PCE), during the dry cleaning process. These solvents, even when properly stored and disposed of, can be released from these facilities in small, frequent releases through floor drains, cracked concrete, and sewer systems. Chlorinated solvents are highly mobile chemicals that can easily accumulate in soil. A review of regulatory agency records indicates the subject property utilized halogenated solvents such as PCE. Although there are no records of a release associated with this facility, the historical use as a dry cleaning facility (40+ years) and the utilization of solvents represents a REC. In April 2023, Partner conducted a Sub-Slab Soil Gas Investigation at the subject property to evaluate the potential impact of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) to sub-slab soil gas as a consequence of a release or releases from former on-site dry cleaning facility. The scope of the Sub-Slab Soil Gas Investigation included the installation of four temporary sub-slab soil gas probes (SS-1 through SS-4) to collect representative soil gas samples. Four soil gas samples were analyzed for CVOCs. Additional Subsurface Investigation Report PARTNER Project No.23-400162.14 July 31,2023 Page 2
