4400 Black Avenue <br />Pleasanton, California <br />648-26-2 <br />Page 23 <br />Other than typical building maintenance items, no significant quantities of hazardous materials <br />were observed at the Site during our visit. These materials are not likely to significantly impact <br />soil or groundwater quality beneath the Site provided that they are used in accordance with the <br />manufacturer’s instructions. <br />9.3 FORMER UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK <br />A 2,000-gallon diesel UST was present on-Site and was used to power an emergency <br />generator. The UST reportedly was installed in 1999 and removed in 2008 under oversight by <br />the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD). Cornerstone reviewed UST removal <br />documentation that indicated the UST was in good condition during removal and no holes, <br />leaks, or other apparent signs of contamination were observed. Samples collected from the <br />UST pit excavation and stockpiled soil did not contain petroleum hydrocarbons or VOCs. No <br />further subsurface investigation or remedial measures were required by the LPFD following <br />removal. Based on the UST removal documentation and supporting analytical results, the <br />former UST does not appear to have significantly impacted the subsurface. <br />9.4 AGRICULTURAL USE <br />Although the Site does not appear to have been used for agricultural purposes prior to <br />development as a telephone directory assistance facility in the early 1970’s, it is possible that <br />pesticides may have been applied along the base of existing Site structures during normal <br />maintenance. Residual pesticides in soil may require special handling or disposal <br />considerations during development. For a greater level of comfort, we recommend collection of <br />soil samples to determine if past Site uses impacted the subsurface. <br />9.5 DISPOSAL OF EXCESS SOIL DURING CONSTRUCTION <br />If contaminated soil is present on-Site, costs associated with disposal of excess soil during <br />construction could be significantly increased. If redevelopment plans will require off-Site <br />disposal of excess soil or on-Site or off-Site reuse of soil, we would recommend evaluating soil <br />quality before purchasing the Site. <br />9.6 IMPORTED SOIL <br />If planned development will require importing soil for Site grading, we recommend documenting <br />the source and quality of imported soil. The DTSC’s October 2001 Clean Fill Advisory provides <br />useful guidance on evaluating imported fill. <br />9.7 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WITHIN THE SITE VICINITY <br />Based on the information obtained during this study, no hazardous material spill incidents have <br />been reported in the Site vicinity that would be likely to significantly impact the Site. However, <br />as is typical to many commercial areas, several facilities in the vicinity were reported as <br />hazardous materials users. If leaks or spills occur at these facilities, contamination could impact <br />the Site, depending upon the location of the property, the magnitude of the release, and the <br />effectiveness of cleanup efforts. <br />rstone reviewed UST removal rstone reviewed UST removal <br />UST was in good condition during removal and no holes, UST was in good condition during removal and no holes, <br />leaks, or other apparent signs of contamination were observed.
