1 Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment <br />8 -Acre Property, Fairhaven Memorial, Santa Ana, California <br />INTRODUCTION <br />This report presents the results of a limited Phase H environmental site assessment conducted by <br />l- Rincon Consultants, Inc. on behalf of Fairhaven Memorial Park & Morturary at the 8 -acre <br />property located at Cambridge Avenue and Fairhaven Avenue in Santa Ana, California. The <br />limited Phase 11 ESA was performed in general accordance with our proposal dated September <br />19, 2005. <br />The following sections provide an overview of the project history; describe the purpose and <br />scope of the project, the physical setting, and sampling and analytical testing methodologies; <br />provide the results of the sampling and testing program; and provide conclusions and <br />recommendations. <br />PROJECT HISTORY <br />According to Marla Noel, representative for Fairhaven Memorial, the property has been <br />historically developed with orange groves. The site is currently in agricultural use and leased to a <br />palm tree grower. The current expansion of the cemetery includes redeveloping the site as part of <br />the cemetery. According to Ms. Noel, the City of Santa Ana has requested a limited Phase II <br />environmental site assessment to assess the 8 -acre site. Based on the historical agricultural use <br />of the site, the City of Santa Ana has requested that a limited Phase II ESA be performed to <br />assess the site for potential pesticides and metals typically associated with agricultural use. <br />PURPOSE AND SCOPE <br />The purpose of the limited Phase H ESA was to determine if soil at the subject property has been <br />affected by historical agricultural use. <br />Our scope of work included the following: <br />• Complete 8 borings on the property. The soil borings were advanced using a hand auger. <br />• Collect samples at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 feet below grade in each boring. Initially the 0.5 <br />and 1 foot deep samples were analyzed for chlorinated pesticides by EPA method 8081A <br />and Title 22 metals by EPA method 6010B. The remaining samples were held for further <br />analysis depending on the results of the initial sampling. <br />• Analyze the 0.5 foot deep sample from boring HA -6 for soluble lead. <br />• Prepare an assessment report documenting the sampling and testing program. <br />J <br />r Rincon Consultants <br />31A767 <br />
