September 2024 DTSC PUBLIC NOTICE Department of Toxic Substances Control - Our Mission is to protect California's people, communities, and environment from toxic substances, to enhance economic vitality by restoring contaminated land, and to compel manufacturers to make safer consumer products. 30-Day Public Comment Period for Remedial Action Plan PG&E Former Bakersfield Manufactured Gas Plant Public Comment Period: October 1, 2024, to October 30, 2024 Public Meeting: October 16, 2024 The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) invites you to review and comment on a proposed cleanup plan, known as a Draft Remedial Action Plan or RAP, for a 0.75-acre parcel located at 800 and 820 20th Street in Bakersfield, California (Site). The Site was used for various industrial uses in the past, including manufacturing gas from 1888 to 1910, and autobody repair and servicing from the mid-1940s to 2019. The Draft RAP proposes a remedy to clean up contamination from past Site uses, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthalene, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), benzene and lead in soil, as well as benzene, naphthalene, chloroform, tetrachloroethene (PCE), and trichloroethene (TCE) in soil vapor (gas between soil particles). The proposed remedy includes the excavation of approximately 5,832 cubic yards (365 truckloads) of contaminated soil up to 15 feet below ground surface and disposal at a permitted facility. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA): As the lead agency under CEQA, DTSC prepared an Initial Study that evaluated the proposed project and determined that the potential environmental effects of the proposed remedy would not result in significant and unavoidable impacts to the environment. DTSC decided a Mitigated Negative Declaration was the appropriate document to prepare under CEQA. DTSC is seeking comments on the adequacy of the analysis contained in the Initial Study and the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration. HOW DO I PARTICIPATE? Comments may be submitted inwriting, postmarked, or emailed by October 30, 2024. Please send comments to: Ryan Mitchum, Project Manager, 1515 Tollhouse Road, Clovis, CA 93611 or via email at Ryan.Mitchum@dtsc.ca.gov.
