<br />Redwood City, California, Ramboll US Corporation, March 2022 (Phase I ESA-947/999 El Camino Real”); (3) Phase
<br />I Environmental Site Assessment, 2529 Broadway, Redwood City, California, Ramboll US Corporation, October 29,
<br />2020 (“Phase I ESA-2529 Broadway”); and (4) Soil Investigation Report, Redwood City Parcels, Redwood City,
<br />California, Ramboll US Corporation, September 19, 2023 (“Soil Investigation Report”). The three Phase I ESAs were
<br />conducted within the scope and limitations of the ASTM International’s Standard Practice for Environmental Site
<br />Assessments: Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Process E1527-13. The information below is taken directly
<br />from the three Phase I ESAs and from the Soil Investigation Report.
<br /> (1) 901, 947, and 999 El Camino Real
<br /> These parcels contain three structures: an automotive supply retail sales building and two restaurant buildings. The
<br />non-building portions are paved and landscaped parking. These buildings were constructed between 1955 and 1973
<br />(Phase I ESA-901/947/999 El Camino Real, pp. 10 and 36). The Phase I ESA-901/947/999 El Camino Real discusses
<br />the site of the current building as well as adjacent and nearby properties; conducted a site visit, reviewed available
<br />information and environmental data relating to the property; interviewed persons with knowledge of the site; reviewed
<br />maps and aerial photographs of the site; and reviewed records maintained by federal, state, and local regulatory
<br />agencies. The Phase I ESA-901/947/999 El Camino Real evaluated information on recognized environmental
<br />conditions (RECs)15 in connection with the property, and also evaluated de minimis conditions including asbestos-
<br />containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint (LBP) in connection with the property.
<br /> The Phase I ESA-901/947/999 El Camino Real (pp. 5 and 33) concluded that there is evidence of one REC, the
<br />southern parcel (a former Chevron gasoline station, identified as 999 El Camino Real and classified by the San Mateo
<br />County Environmental Health Division as a leaking underground storage tank [LUST] case): “Based on the presence
<br />of soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater impacts in excess of regulatory screening criteria in multiple areas of the site,
<br />and the ongoing regulatory scrutiny by SMECHD [San Mateo Environmental Community Health Department], this
<br />matter is considered a REC and a pVIC [potential vapor intrusion concern]. It is anticipated that the LUST case will
<br />continue to be addressed by Chevron under SMECHD oversight. In the event of site redevelopment, the pVIC can be
<br />mitigated by the developer at such time.” (See below, “Post-Phase I ESA Monitoring/Evaluation Activities-999 El
<br />Camino Real,” for updated activities related to 999 El Camino Real.)
<br /> Because the Commercial Component proposes demolition of the existing buildings to redevelop the site, the Phase I
<br />ESA-901 El Camino Real concluded that a comprehensive ACM survey would be required prior to any renovation or
<br />demolition activities at the site (p. 36). Based on the age of the onsite building, the Phase I ESA-901/947/999 El
<br />Camino Real concluded that “it is possible that lead-based paints were used historically on facility structures” though
<br />during the site visit the paint of observed surfaces was in fair condition (p. 37).
<br /> (2) 947 and 999 El Camino Real
<br /> These parcels contain two restaurant structures, as discussed in the Phase I ESA-901/947/999 El Camino Real (Phase
<br />I ESA-947/999 El Camino Real, pp. 10 and 36). The Phase I ESA-947/999 El Camino Real discusses the site of the
<br />current building as well as adjacent and nearby properties; conducted a site visit, reviewed available information and
<br />environmental data relating to the property; interviewed persons with knowledge of the site; reviewed maps and aerial
<br />photographs of the site; and reviewed records maintained by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies. The Phase I
<br />ESA-947/999 El Camino Real evaluated information on recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in connection
<br />with the property, and also evaluated de minimis conditions including asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-
<br />based paint (LBP) in connection with the property.
<br /> The Phase I ESA-947/999 El Camino Real (pp. 4-5) concluded that there is evidence of one REC, the southern parcel
<br />(a former Chevron gasoline station, identified as 999 El Camino Real). This REC is also identified in the Phase I
<br />ESA-901/947/999 El Camino Real. According to the Phase I ESA-947/999 El Camino Real: “Based on the presence
<br />of soil vapor impacts in excess of regulatory screening criteria in multiple areas of the site, and the ongoing regulatory
<br />scrutiny by SMECHD [San Mateo Environmental Community Health Department], this matter is considered a REC
<br />and a pVIC (with respect to the latter, potential health risks are under evaluation). It is anticipated that the LUST case
<br />will continue to be addressed by Chevron under SMECHD oversight. In the event of site redevelopment, the pVIC

<br />15 The term “recognized environmental conditions (RECs)” is defined as, “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous
<br />substance or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative
<br />of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a materials threat of a future release to the environment. De
<br />minimis conditions are not recognized environmental conditions.” (ASTM Standard E 1527-13)
