Document Description: The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) approved the Removal Action Workplan (RAW) for the New Hollister School Site. The cleanup decision document, referred to as the RAW, addressed naturally-occurring asbestos (NOA) concentrations in the soil at the 12-acre new elementary school site within the Santana Ranch Specific Plan area. The approved project activities consist of capping the surface of the Project Site with a combination of non-NOA caps, including a three-foot engineered soil cover, as Is proposed for the play fleld area (approximately 1/3 of the Site), a one to two-foot cap in landscaped areas, and using a variety of engineered caps across the remainder of the Site, including asphalt pavement, concrete flat work, and building foundations and slabs. The soil cover cap areas would be underlain by a marker barrier indicating the presence of NOA containing soil beneath the marker. The cap would be used to minimize the potential for contact with· the contaminated soil. A total of approximately four acres of affected soil would need to be covered. The contaminated soil would be Included beneath the cap. *See NOD for full details.
