Document Description
The project includes limited excavation of soil and utilization of existing and future pavement and structures as a protective cover to block exposure pathways for building occupants at Lot B, continuation or expansion of the current 12 month Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) pilot test, and implementation of a Land Use Covenant
(LUC). EKI Environment & Water, Inc. (EKI) Submitted a Removal Action Workplan dated July 31, 2024, on behalf of BCPF Smokey Hollow, LLC. (Smokey Hollow) to the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to address the elevated concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH); volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mainly tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE); and heavy metals in the sub surface soil at Lot B. The primary sources of subsurface contamination are believed to be mercury releases to soil on the northwestern portion on Lot B and potential on-site releases of VOCs to soil vapor and groundwater. PCE and TCE in soil vapor represent the primary health risk to the Site for commercial/industrial workers. Shallow soils within the northwestern portion of Lot B
contain elevated mercury, arsenic, and cobalt which represent the primary health risks for redevelopment and maintenance workers at Lot B.
