Document Description
This project involves the DTSC's approval of a RAW which will be carried out at the Laguna Nueva School Extended Borrow Pit Area. The objective of the RAW is to mitigate potential risk to human health and the environment by deed restriction, impervious cover over existing soil Cap, and Installation of an advanced methane protection System. The purpose of the project is to mitigate impacted soils that exceed the project-specific human health risk criteria to minimize human exposure to the identified chemicals of concern. The depth of impacted soil extends ~40 ft below ground surface in some areas. The volume of impacted soil ranges approx. from 125,000 to 175,000 cubic yards, or from 190,000 to 260,000 tons. The action level for Methane is 5,000 parts per million by volume. Should methane concentrations increase to levels above the established action level, the methane detectors equipped with integrated mechanical controls will activate vent fans of the Methane Mitigation System. Similar, the methane detectors will also be programmed to trigger building evacuation alarms at higher levels of (12,500 ppmv methane), should venting be insufficient. Upon completion of the RAW, the engineering controls and LUC remedy requires long-term operation and maintenance activities. Prior to site certification, an O&M agreement between the property owner and DTSC is required to implement the O&M activities in accordancewith an approved O&M Plan under DTSC oversight. The RAW has been prepared for the Site as required by the California Health and Safety Code sections 25323.1 and 25356.1(h).
