Draft Remedial Action Plan for Port Of Stockton Site 47 Soil Remediation Stockton, California PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: August 10, 2023 -September 12, 2023 WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED? The California State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is sending out this Community Update to let the community know about the draft Remedial Action Plan (RAP) or cleanup plan for the Port of Stockton. The Port of Stockton is located at 2201 W. Washington Street, Stockton, California, 95203 and proposing to excavate contaminated soil from the Site 47 on the southern portion of Rough and Ready Island. The soil would be consolidated under an existing durable cover or clean soil and/or a planned building to prevent direct exposure. The covered areas would be inspected and maintained regularly. The draft RAP does not include a remedy for groundwater, which remains under investigation. Environmental investigations of Area 47 were conducted from 1995 through 2020. Contaminants detected include metals (primarily arsenic), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and organochlorine pesticides. The contaminants in soil and sediment were determined to pose a risk to humans and wildlife and require remediation. The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) will oversee the cleanup activities proposed in the draft RAP. We invite you to review and comment on the draft RAP, which describes the investigations carried out at the Site and evaluate the remedies. HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? DTSC will accept public comments on the draft RAP for the Port of Stockton Site 47 beginning August 10, 2023 — September 12, 2023. Please send all written comments to Shahid Mahmood, Project Manager at 8800 Cal Center Drive, Sacramento, California 95826 or via email to Shahid.Mahmood(a-).dtsc.ca.gov. All comments must be received by September 12, 2023. A virtual public meeting and hearing will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, starting at 6 pm. The meeting will include a presentation and questions-and answer session, followed by the public hearing. Public comments will be taken at the hearing and DTSC will respond to these comments in writing. To register, go to https://tinyurl.com/umhtv8nf.
