Additional Property Attributes

This undeveloped parcel was historically used for agricultural dry farming and has remained undeveloped since. The City of Sacramento plans to develop the Site for community use, potentially as a community garden. A phase 1 ESA was prepared in March 2023 and the finding are listed below.
ON-SITE
No on-Site RECs were identified during the preparation of this Phase I ESA. However, NCE identified the following findings based upon the historical records and the Site reconnaissance conducted and suggest the following potential on-Site conditions:
* Potential Agriculture Chemical Impacts from Historical Applications: Historical use of the Site included cultivated land from sometime before 1937 until sometime in the 1950s. Agricultural chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer may have historically been used as part of the farming activities, however, no specific information regarding historical use, storage or application rates was available. The potential presence of agricultural chemicals from historic dry farming applications may have or could result in the presence of residual chemicals in soil. While the application of agricultural chemicals for intended use and their persistence in the environment is well documented, it is not considered a release. However, considering the intended land use may change from an unimproved parcel to a potential public space, it is possible that if present, the residual agricultural chemicals may pose a risk to future users of the property.
* Aerially Deposited Lead: Because both Meadowview Road and Henrietta Drive are relatively high traffic volume roads, there is potential for aerially deposited lead (ADL) to be present in soil on the Site as a result of leaded gasoline previously used in automobiles. Considering the intended land use is to shift from an undeveloped parcel to a potential public space, it is possible that if present, the concentrations of ADL may pose a risk to future users of the property.

A Phase II ESA was performed in November 2023.

ADL in Soil
* Total lead concentrations ranging from 18 to 200 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) were detected in
samples LB1 through LB6.
* Six samples (collected from borings LB1, LB2, and LB4) contained total lead concentrations that
exceeded the ESL for residential shallow soil exposure of 80 mg/kg.
* Sample LB4-0 exceeded the ESL for construction worker shallow soil exposure of 160 mg/kg.
o Concentrations of lead in 6 samples from 3 borings (LB1, LB2, and LB4) exceeded ESLs for
residential shallow soil exposure of 80 mg/kg.
o Concentrations of lead in sample LB4-0 exceeded ESLs for construction worker shallow soil
exposure of 160 mg/kg.
o No samples had total lead reported above the commercial/industrial ESL of 320 mg/kg. The
highest reported lead concentration was from the surface sample at boring LB4 at 200
mg/kg.

Residual Pesticides in Soil
* 4,4-DDE and 4,4-DDT were detected in surface sample PB4 at concentrations of 0.0063 and 0.0057
mg/kg, respectively (Table 2).
o Concentrations of OCPs in samples did not exceed the SFRWQCB ESLs for residential soil
exposure.
o Organochlorine pesticides (4,4-DDT and 4,4-DDE) were only reported in the surface sample
at location PB4 at concentrations significantly below the established ESLs for those
compounds (Table 2). No other organochlorine pesticides were reported above the
laboratory reporting limits in any of the other samples analyzed.

The City is working with contactor to conduct additional assessment to determine the extent of the ADL contamination based on use for urban agriculture.
