acres. These properties have been used for a variety of industrial <strong>and</strong> commercial<br />
purposes, including metal foundries, a plating shop, machine shops, a pesticide<br />
formulation facility, <strong>and</strong> other similar uses. LAUSD is currently evaluating the <strong>Site</strong> as<br />
the location of a potential new school. The assessment work to be conducted at the <strong>Site</strong><br />
will be performed under oversight from the Department of Toxic Substances Control<br />
