Additional Property Attributes

TPH-d and TPH-mo results exceeded the RWQCB ESLs of 83 mg/kg and 370 mg/kg, respectively, for soil at three borings in the northwestern corner of the Site, within the boundary of the former gas station. Samples were collected at 2 feet bgs and 5 feet bgs; there were no exceedences found in the 2-foot bgs samples. Deeper soil samples were collected at 20 and 30 feet bgs, showing that TPH contamination had not migrated to 20 feet bgs. However, there is the potential for TPH contamination between 5 feet bgs and 20 feet bgs, so that the vertical extent of the contamination is currently unbounded. Similarly, the lateral extent of contamination is not well-defined south of C1. Depending upon the nature of the redevelopment, it may not be necessary to excavate to 5 feet bgs in the area of the former gas station. If it is necessary to excavate to 5 feet bgs or deeper, then some remediation would be needed either prior to or during construction to address the TPH contamination. Because the extent of TPH contamination in this area is not bounded, it is not possible to estimate remediation costs without further characterization. It is suggested that additional characterization be conducted of soils between 5 feet and 20 feet bgs in order to provide a vertical boundary to the TPH contamination in the northwestern corner of the Site, and that additional samples be collected south of C1. If redevelopment included unpaved (landscaped, grass) areas in the area of the Site impacted by TPH contamination, then a migration pathway to groundwater might be established. In this case, remediation of impacted soils would be required.

Former Use: The Site is located at 1625 and 1635 Chestnut Street in the City of Livermore, Alameda County. Across Chestnut Street to the north are single-family residences; to the east is a strip mall; to the south is Western Pacific Railroad, with businesses beyond that; and to the west is a strip mall. Current use is commercial.Historically, it is believed that the Site may have been used as a livestock staging area, possibly associated with the railroad, from at least 1940 until the mid-1950s. From the mid-1960s, a gasoline service station occupied the northwestern corner of the Site. The gas station and all associated fueling infrastructure was removed from the Site sometime in the early- to mid-1970s. Since 1978, the current retail and office building has occupied the Site.
