Document Description
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has approved a Removal Action Workplan (RAW) to address pesticide-containing soil on 31 acres of an 81-acre property owned by the Ohlone Community College District. The RAW was submitted by the Ohlone Community College District pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 6.8 of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20. Approval of this RAW allows the Ohlone Community College District to:
1. Collect additional soil samples to more accurately determine the amount of soil that needs to be removed from the northern 31 acres proposed for development as a Community College to achieve the site cleanup goals (based upon unrestricted land use standards) of 0.44 mg/kg toxaphene and 0.5 mg/kg of DDE on that portion of the property.
2. Remove the top 9 to 14 inches of soil over 2/3 of the northern 31-acre portion of the Site, totaling approximately 30,000 cubic yards of soil. Consolidate the soil containing toxaphene and DDE onto an approximately 25-acre consolidation area within the southern 50-acre property that will continue in agricultural use. This is expected to raise the grade in the consolidation area by approximately 1 foot.
3. Record land use restrictions for the 50-acre portion of the property to (1) preclude sensitive uses such as residential, school, day care and hospital uses; and (2) prevent use of groundwater for drinking water purposes.
DTSC is acting as a Responsible Agency pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act in regards to the larger project, the Newark Center for Health Sciences & Technology Master Plan. DTSC considered the environmental effects of its project as shown in the Environmental Impact Report for the Newark Center for Health Sciences & Technology and the March 2005 Addendum prepared by the Ohlone Community College District.
Using its independent judgement, DTSC has determined that the project will not result in significant impacts to the environment. DTSC project controls were identified as mitigation measures in the EIR.
