Document Description
The proposed project would consist of an amendment to extend the term of the existing Right of Entry License Agreement (ROELA) to Rohr, Inc. (Grantee) to allow entrance to certain properties located in the City of Chula Vista, California. This term extension is not a separate project for CEQA purposes and would not allow for an expansion of use from the previously approved ROELA (Document No. 71131) but would instead be an adjustment to the total term duration. The area proposed for use under this ROELA would continue to be used by the Grantee and their authorized agent(s) and contractor(s) for the purpose of interim remediation, site investigation, and monitoring efforts to address subsurface groundwater contamination, consistent with the Cleanup and Abatement Order (Order No. 98-08), as issued by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board in 1998 (the "Project''). The project generally includes the following remediation, site investigation, and monitoring activities: installation of four (4) permeable reactive barriers to inject approximately 611,000 pounds of slurry containing zero valent iron, biodegradable carbon substrate, and long-term electron donor solution (e.g., emulsified vegetable oil) to depths of approximately 15 to 70 feet (ft) below ground surface (bgs) to target Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) contamination; install cone penetrometer/membrane interface probe borings to a maximum depth of 95, ft bgs as needed for data collection: install 12 temporary monitoring well clusters (to be removed after completion of remediation); install 24 monitoring well clusters (to be constructed after future tenant proposed construction activities are complete and long-term access is available); collect discrete-depth groundwater samples in accordance with the Waste Discharge Requirement to be issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board as well as ingress and egress in support of those activities. Based on the results obtained from borings and monitoring wells, additional borings or wells may be conducted to address data gaps within the ROELA term.
It is anticipated that the ROELA would have a total term of approximately five (5) years, or upon completion of the work, whichever occurs earlier. The ROELA may be terminated by the District as a matter of right and without cause at any time upon providing twenty-four (24) hours' notice in writing to the Grantee of such termination.
Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the Project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment Also, as discussed above, the Project proposes activities that are intended to remediate and monitor existing groundwater contamination, consistent with orders of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Therefore, significant impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the ,Grantee would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and focal laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.

Reasons for Exemption

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15304 (Minor Alterations to land), 15306 (Information Collection), and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agency for Protection of the Environment) and Sections 3.d.6., 3.f., 3.h. of the District's Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA as identified above because the proposed project consists of a RO ELA for remediation, site investigation, and monitoring pursuant to Regional Water Quality Control Board orders. The Project, and associated remedial actions, would not result in any permanent effects on the environment, and would minimize and stabilize the release or threat of release of hazardous substances from the project site. The Project remediation activities would be undertaken strategically, and consistent with Regional Water Quality Control Board authorization, to effectively treat and monitor existing subsurface contamination. The Project will also be subject to, and must adhere to, all applicable regulations related to such activities, including the California Water Code and Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations and orders. Moreover, the Project would not involve the removal of mature, scenic trees, and is for the purpose of basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which would not result in a serious
or major disturbance to an environmental resource.
