JNE & Associates, Inc. was
retained to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
for a 36.69 acre parcel located at 37755 East Benton Road, Temecula,
CA. The scope of services included the following tasks:
Site Reconnaissance – A site reconnaissance was conducted to
observe surface conditions and current activities on the Subject
Site and neighboring properties. An inventory of potential contaminant
sources on and adjacent to the Subject Site was completed based on
visual observations.
Record Review and Interviews – During the records review, information
was obtained from public agencies to assess whether current and past
Subject Site usage within the study area may have created a potential
for contamination of the Subject Site. Our study area for the records
review is based on the ASTM Practice and consists of the following:
- The Subject Site and adjoining properties within a 1/8 mile radius
for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) generators
and sites with previous hazardous materials spills.
- ¼-mile radius for registered underground storage tanks
(UST) and above-ground storage tanks (AST).
- ½-mile radius for leaking UST, landfill sites, and Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information
system (CERLIS) sites.
- 1-mile radius for RCRA treatment, storage
and disposal facilities, and state and federal Superfund sites.
We also used interviews and historical aerial photographs to
characterize past activities on and around the Subject Site.
Aerial photograph sources
included
the San Diego Department of Public Works (DPW) and City of San Diego
Maps and Records.
Evaluation, Analysis and Report – Information collected during the above
activities was evaluated, analyzed and a summary report prepared for the client.
The site consists of steep slopes with exposed granitic boulders.
A year-round creek bounds the western side of the property. The
creek provides water and recreational facilities. Two mobile homes
had been established on the property with a water well and septic
tank. The infrastructure had been demolished on-site and debris
let in place. Evidence of a burn dump was visible on the highest
elevations. |
