March Ascon Work Updates

Final Remedy work progress:
• Excavation and grading along the northern area of the Site along Hamilton Ave, an area with a higher potential for odor, continues.
Excavation and grading activities in this area are expected to continue through most of the year.
• Excavation and grading at the southeastern area of the Site is expected to continue through March 2025, where a future stormwater detention basin will be located.
• In February, environmental contractors collected onsite soil vapor samples near the Ascon Site perimeter from existing soil vapor monitoring probes. The results will be submitted to DTSC. • During work in areas with a higher potential for odor, additional odor monitoring personnel are in the community and the
community resource table will be in Edison Park. DTSC continues to be onsite observing excavation activities.
• Ascon will continue to note upcoming work and general locations of excavation in the weekly Site updates.

February/March Ascon Stormwater Management
During the 2025 wet season:
o Regular inspections are conducted prior, during and after qualifying storm events (requires at least a half inch of rain)
o Samples are collected from stormwater discharge per the Site's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
• Stormwater sampled at Ascon is field tested for pH and turbidity, and samples are also sent to a laboratory for analysis, with the results posted on the Water Board's Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS)
o All historical field test results have been below numeric action levels (NALs) for the Construction General Permit
• So far, no qualifying stormwater discharge has occurred that required sampling this season
• Ascon will continue to share how the community can access and view these results along with our stormwater management practices through our Weekly Site Updates
