MAY ASCON WORK UPDATES
7 Update for May 28, 2025, City of HuntingtonBeach Southeast Area meeting. For Discussion Only.
Onsite excavation work, May 2025
Final Remedy work progress:
• The Ascon team has completed approximately 50% of the excavation and grading work during this phase of Final Remedy work. The estimated remaining duration of this current phase is approximately 10 months (March 2026), depending on weather and Site conditions. • Visible excavation and grading along the northern perimeter of the Site, an area with a higher potential for odor, continues. The typical daily schedule has this northern work occurring in the morning when Site conditions are favorable, with excavation in western and eastern areas occurring in the afternoon. Excavation and grading activities in these areas are expected to continue through most of 2025.
• Ascon will be conducting well abandonment work on an agricultural water well located in the eastern portion of the Ascon Site. This agricultural well was not installed by Ascon. DTSC is currently reviewing the workplan, and pending permit receipt, work will be scheduled in the next couple of months with public notification in advance of the work.
UPCOMING SUMMER 2025 WORK
8 Update for May 28, 2025, City of HuntingtonBeach Southeast Area meeting. For Discussion Only.
Ascon Final Remedy designated truck
route to enter and exit the Site.
• Clean soil is planned to be brought onsite for future use in perimeter areas.
• Based on excavation and grading progress, clean soil import work could begin as early as June to prepare for the next phase of work. • This is an opportunity to conduct some of the Final Remedy work phases in parallel and potentially shorten the overall schedule. • This clean soil work will include trucking the soil onsite through a designated truck route with dust and dirt mitigations in place:
o This work requires approximately 30,000 cubic yards of clean soil, up to approximately 100 trucks may arrive onsite per day for around 4-8 weeks.
o Trucks will enter from Hamilton Ave. and exit on Magnolia St. and avoid the major intersection per the project's approved haul route plan.
o Dust mitigation and traffic control measures will be in place during this clean soil import. This includes continued onsite dust mitigation measures and additional street cleaning outside entrance and exit areas.
ASCON COMMUNITY INFORMATION
TABLE AND RESOURCES
9 Update for May 28, 2025, City of HuntingtonBeach Southeast Area meeting. For Discussion Only.
• The Ascon information table is located in Edison Park, across from the Ascon Site. The information table is in the park on days that excavation work is occurring in areas with a higher potential for odor. • Since October 2024, community members engaging with the community resource table have general questions about work, the history of the project, and often ask about the future of the Site and the Magnolia Tank Farm development plans.
• In addition to the community information table, community members can call the Ascon project information line at 714-388-1825 or send an email to [email protected] with any questions or concerns about the project.
