• • Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - October 4, 1993 Page - 22 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Council Member Corbett said she did not understand the reluctance to doing additional testing. Mr. Alvarez said DISC was provided information and he did what they asked. The Water Board and DISC designed the testing program. The City retained an expert and he testified there are no contaminates in area 1, north of Lewelling area. They have spent a lot of money including a State-directed investigation. The experts tell them that whatever is there is extremely remedial . With respect to wetlands, they haven't heard from the Water Board and they continue to think it is feasible. He said the information has been before the DTSC since last December. They asked for additional information because of the level of contaminates, and supporting documentation to establish that remediation proposals are feasible. Dr. Dilio said in the area of old Trojan Factory, there was a question and it was determined that groundwater flowed west, and DISC and Water Board asked for no groundwater studies in area 1 . DTSC will not ask for any groundwater testing. Steve Mattas said, on the issue of bonding, the Conditions of Approval will be changed to add not only soil , but soil and groundwater contamination. Mr. Alvarez said if groundwater needs to be remediated, it is going to be resolved on a technical basis. Council Member Corbett asked questions regarding the effect of tidal action on the flow of groundwater. Council Member Myers said the Council is sensitive to the health issues, and the City will not issue permits until they do get the approved agencies signed, sealed statements. Council Member Kerr said the 880 intermodal corridor is dead as far as San Leandro is concerned. Mr. Alvarez described his contacts with Cal - Trans on this matter.
