2 According to the EnviroStor database, there are 45 inactive cleanup sites, one active cleanup site and two permitted facilities in San Leandro.32 None of these are located at or near the proposed project site. The facility nearest the project site is at 800 Davis Street, about 0.5 miles to the west According to the GeoTracker database there are 28 open (i.e., undergoing or still requiring investigation and/or cleanup) RWQCB Cleanup Sites within the city.33 . None are within 1,000 feet of the project site. Therefore, the impact would not be more significant than described in the prior EIR. This conclusion that there are no Geotracker cleanup sites within 1,000 feet of the Project site is incorrect. The Geotracker website lists the Project site as a cleanup site. The Geotracker website identifies the Project site as the “14th and Callan Redevelopment1” and describes it as consisting of four parcels located at 1120, 1124, and 1118 East 14th Street (Assessor Parcel Numbers 77‐447‐15‐6; 77‐447‐ 14‐7; 77‐447‐14‐6; 77‐447‐7‐1), entirely consistent with the addresses and APNs as described in the Project Description on p. 3‐1 of the Checklist. Therefore, the Checklist’s conclusion that there are no Geotracker sites within 1,000 feet of the Project site is incorrect. In fact, the Project site itself is a Geotracker‐listed cleanup site. The Geotracker website provides the following description of contaminants associated with the Project site: The Site was initially developed in the late 1800s with houses and commercial buildings. An auto repair facility was present at the Site beginning in 1907. Further commercial development occurred in the late 1920s and 1950s with a dry cleaner present in the 1940s/1950s. Currently, there are three vacant buildings and an asphalt parking lot present at the Site that were historically used as office and retail space and a drug store. The Phase II investigations indicate groundwater in the vicinity of the Site contains low levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel. Shallow soil samples collected at the Site had reported low levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel and motor oil and various metals; pesticides and lead were detected exceeding risk‐based screening levels. Soil gas samples collected off‐site exceeded commercial or residential risk‐based screening levels for volatile organic compounds including benzene, tetrachloroethene, ethylbenzene, naphthalene and chloroform; soil gas samples collected on‐ Site exceeded commercial or residential risk‐based screening levels for volatile organic compounds including benzene, tetrachloroethene, ethylbenzene, naphthalene, chloroform and vinyl chloride. The primary chemicals of potential concern identified during investigations conducted to date include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, pesticides, and petroleum. Alameda County Department of Environmental Health is currently working with the developer to identify areas for additional data collection and identifying remedial actions prior to site redevelopment activities. The status of the Project site as a listed Geotracker site is not disclosed in the Checklist. The contamination, as described by the Geotracker website, is not disclosed in the Checklist and the Geotracker description of the contamination is inconsistent with the Checklist conclusion that “the 1 https://geotracker.waterboards.ca.gov/profile_report?global_id=T10000016541 117
