The Project involves the excavation of approximately 500 to 650 cubic yards of contaminated soil that exceeds the project specific unrestricted cleanup levels in order to minimize human exposure to arsenic, lead, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at the Southern California Edison-San Jacinto Project Site (SCE). The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) determined remediation of the Project Site was required to address the contaminates in soil at the Project Site. This determination was based upon the findings of the Removal Action Workplan (RAW) which included previous Site Investigations and the selection of the appropriate remedial measures to address the on-site contamination. DTSC approved the RAW, prepared by Eco and Associates dated September 15, 2020 on September 17, 2020. (See NOE for full details.)
