Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.7 Hazards and Hazardous MaterialsIt is classified a SWF/LF (Solid Waste Facilities and Landfills).• Ventura Unified School District Site 760 at 760 Jazmin is a designated LUST(Leaking Underground Storage Tank) site. The site contains contaminated soil butno contaminated groundwater. Remedial action is underway.• The Chevron site is located at 11008 Citrus and is a designated LUST site. The site’ssoil and ground water are contaminated. The site is under post remedial actionmonitoring.• The Borchard Estate site located at 11075 Violetta Street is a designated LUST site.The site’s soil and ground water are contaminated. The site remediation plan is inpreparation.• The U-Rent site located at 1387 Los Angeles Avenue is a designated LUST site.Only the site’s soil has been affected and the groundwater has not been contaminated.Pollution characterization is underway.• The E.J. Harrison and Sons site located at 1589 Lirio Avenue is a designated LUSTsite. The site’s soil and groundwater are contaminated. Pollution characterization isunderway.• The Arco site located at 11005 Citrus is a designated LUST site. The site’s soil andgroundwater are contaminated. Post remedial action monitoring is underway.Development or redevelopment in the vicinity of these facilities would have the potential forexposure of hazardous materials to the public. Potential developments facilitated by the Projectthat would be within the vicinity of these facilities include the Hansen Specific Plan andParklands Specific Plan in the Northwest Neighborhood and infill development in Old TownSaticoy in the West Neighborhood. The magnitude of hazards for individual projects woulddepend upon the location, type, and size of development and the specific hazards associatedwith individual sites. Action 7.27 of the 2005 General Plan Action 7.27 requires proponents ofprojects on or immediately adjacent to lands in industrial, commercial or agricultural use toundertake soil and groundwater contamination assessment in accordance with ATSMstandards, and requires remediation if necessary. The assessment and clean up of propertieslisted may be required as part of grading activities during redevelopment if grading activitieswould disturb remaining areas of contaminated soils. Clean up would be pursuant to existingregulations and oversight would be provided by the Ventura County CUPA and the RWQCB.Clean up goals and methods would be established and the sites would be remediated prior todevelopment of listed sites within the Project Area.Development or redevelopment in the proximity of agricultural uses that utilize pesticidesincreases the chance of health risks. Agricultural operations are located throughout portions ofthe Saticoy & Wells Project Area, including the Northwest Neighborhood, NortheastNeighborhood, and East Neighborhood. Action 7.29 of the 2005 General Plan would requirenon-agricultural development to provide buffers of 50 feet or more from agricultural operationsto minimize the potential for pesticide drift. Please refer to Section 4.2, Agriculture, for furtherdiscussion of potential conflicts between agricultural and urban development. Compliance withfederal, state, and local regulations, in combination with 2005 General Plan and CommunityPlan policies and actions, would reduce adverse impacts from exposure to hazardous materials.4.7-7City of Ventura
