As analyzed <br />above, the health risk analysis in the Checklist is inadequate under CEQA, an Infill <br />EIR must be prepared to adequately analyze and mitigate the impacts to human <br />health from this Project. <br /> <br />D. The Project Will Cause New Significant and Unmitigated <br />Hazardous Materials Impacts <br /> <br />The Project site has a history of contamination from the site’s former use as <br />an auto repair facility and a dry cleaner and from the nearby gas station which <br />stores petroleum in underground storage tanks.83 The Project may remain <br />contaminated by hazardous materials and is listed on the Geotracker site (Cortese <br />list),84 which states85: <br /> <br />The Phase II investigations indicate groundwater in the vicinity of the Site <br />contains low levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel. Shallow soil <br />samples collected at the Site had reported low levels of total petroleum <br />hydrocarbons as diesel and motor oil and various metals; pesticides and lead <br />were detected exceeding risk-based screening levels. Soil gas samples <br />collected off-site exceeded commercial or residential risk-based screening <br />levels for volatile organic compounds including benzene, tetrachloroethene, <br />ethylbenzene, naphthalene and chloroform; soil gas samples collected on-Site <br />exceeded commercial or residential risk-based screening levels for volatile <br />organic compounds including benzene, tetrachloroethene, ethylbenzene, <br />naphthalene, chloroform and vinyl chloride. The primary chemicals of <br />potential concern identified during investigations conducted to date include <br />volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, pesticides, and petroleum. <br /> <br />The Checklist fails to disclose the Project site’s Cortese listing, and fails to <br />disclose the existing contamination described on the Geotracker website.
