Document Description
Lead and arsenic are present at the Site and have originated from historical lead smelting operations. The current remedial activities include installation of a 4" asphalt cap on the property area to prevent exposure to soil containing lead and arsenic. A land use covenant will be placed on the property to prohibit residential or sensitive use development (hospitals, schools and daycares). The Covenant will also prohibit any future excavation or disturbing of soil unless a Soil Management Plan and Health and Safety Plan is approved by DTSC. Additionally, an Operation and Maintenance Plan will be in place to require inspections and repairs for the asphalt cap.

Type, Section or Code
General Rule: Section 15061(b)(3
Reasons for Exemption
The site is on the Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65262.5 because of the elevated levels of contamination found on site. A Consent Order is in effect, compelling the Quemetco Company and UPRR to remediate the site. Although the site is on the Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites list, much of the contaminated soil was removed in 1997 during the Emergency Removal Action, and this RAW will remediate the remaining contamination. This site is not in an area of biological or cultural resource significance.
