3-9 Hazardous Materials Reports
3-9.1 Initial Site Assessment Update
Initial Site Assessment (ISA) Addendum
CONSULTANT will prepare the ISA Addendum which will serve to evaluate current environmental conditions (i.e., hazardous materials and petroleum products) within the project footprint with respect to the approved project ISA in PA&ED and support environmental revalidation, as necessary.
CONSULTANT will conduct a review of environmental databases, historical records, and previous project reports related to the Interstate 15/State Route 74 (I-15/SR-74) Interchange Improvement Project (Project).
CONSULTANT will also conduct a site reconnaissance visit to observe existing conditions. This site reconnaissance will include an inspection of utility pole-mounted transformers and ground-based units near NB entrance ramp terminal that will be relocated or removed as part of the project must be evaluated. Identified leaking transformers or stained soil will be considered a potential PCB hazard, and the underlying soil must be sampled due to transformers having historically contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Research methodologies will be based on those described in ASTM E1527 -21 Standard Practice for Phase I Environmental Site Assessments. This review will constitute a fully ASTM -conforming ISA as Caltrans intends to acquire various parcels, either partially or fully, within the Project footprint.
CONSULTANT will prepare the ISA Addendum Report that describes the methodology, summarizes the findings of the study, and lists current environmental conditions that are determined to be potentially significant or may pose a hazardous waste risk to the proposed project.
Deliverables:
• ISA Addendum Report
Assumptions:
• Site reconnaissance will be conducted in a single day from public rights -of-way and other publicly accessible areas.
• No Caltrans encroachment permit or site access agreements will be required . • A hazardous materials survey for lead-based paint or asbestos containing materials is not included in this addendum report.
3-9.2 ACM/LBP Survey
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), and other hazardous materials may be present on roadside features where the modified interchange is planned. Because the structures will not be modified or removed, an ACM, LBP, and Universal Was te Rule materials investigation is not required to be performed. However, this will be identified as an optional
task until expectations are finalized in the ISA Addendum. A lead and electrical waste specification and contractor lead and electrical waste compliance plan should be adequate for the Project for other basic items expected as part of the interchange reconstruction package.
If the ACM & LBP sampling and material testing task is deem necessary following the draft ISA Addendum, CONSULTANT will initiate the
optional task identified herein utilizing our California Division of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA) Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) or Certified Site Surveillance Technician (CSST) to update the Initial Sie Assessment conducted in PA&ED coupled with site reconnaissance to identify the locations of potential ACMs and our California Department of Public Health (CDPH) certified inspector/assessor to conduct supplemental site reconnaissance to identify the locations of potential LBP and collect samples. CONSULTANT will prepare an ACM, LBP, and Universal Waste Rule investigation report summarizing our findings.
Deliverables:
• ACM, LBP, and Universal Waste Rule Investigation Report, if found necessary following the completion of the ISA Addendum report
Assumptions:
• Access and rights of entry to properties will be provided by the City. • Drawings of structures for removal will be provided to HDR, and a meeting with the building engineer (as available) will be conducted prior to the site reconnaissance. • A Hazardous Materials Inspection is a survey of existing conditions and will be conducted first, with no sampling. Field sampling and analysis will be recommended based upon the observations of the structures in the field.
• The site reconnaissance will be performed during work hours and areas will be accessible to HDR staff.
• The hazardous materials sampling is dependent on conditions at the building, and additional costs will be disclosed prior to the start of the sampling task (following the hazardous materials inspection) and the number of samples will be verified by the CAC/CLIA. • Laboratory analysis will be conducted using standard turnaround times.
3-9.3 Preliminary Site Investigation
CONSULTANT will provide as-needed assistance to CITY for coordination of field work and site access including boring location plans, insurance certificates, etc. CONSULTANT will mark exploration boring locations and notify Underground Service Alert (USA) t o identify public utilities in the planned area.
Prior to start of the project, CONSULTANT will prepare comprehensive project -wide work plan including a health and safety plan (HASP) for the Project. The work plan will provide details and guidelines related to the Preliminary Site Investigation and will be submitted to and approved by the CITY and Caltrans prior to start of the field work.
CONSULTANT conduct sampling and analysis of environmental media – soil and groundwater – that may be affected by earthwork and grading activities associated with the proposed design.
The purpose of the work will be to confirm the presence of suspected contamination as detailed in the Hazardous Waste Review Report, inform the development of earthwork and grading specifications and plans, and assist with estimating the cost of waste disp osal.
CONSULTANT will not test unpaved areas of the project footprint for aerially deposited lead (ADL) contamination, as this was completed in PA&ED for the Project.
CONSULTANT will collect samples of soil and groundwater to be analyzed by an environmental laboratory certified by the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program. The locations and depths of sampling will be determined by the findings of the ISA Addendum Report, coupled with information related to the design of Alternative 3 . The analytical requirements for the samples will be aligned with the contaminants of concern identified in the ISA Addendum Report. A Preliminary Site Investigation Report will be prepared that describes the methodology, summarizes the findings, and discusses the nature of wastes expected to be encountered in the subsurface during project construction.
CONSULTANT will not test unpaved areas of the project footprint for aerially deposited lead (ADL) contamination as this was completed in PA&ED for the Project. It is assumed no borings will be required by Caltrans for impacted areas along the I-15 mainline, the existing ramps, and public ROW since sampling was already conducted in PA&ED. CONSULTANT will review the approved ADL report summarizing the findings of the field investigation. The review of the approved ADL Report will be used to observe where soil was classified for re -use or disposal in accordance with hazardous waste criteria and Caltrans soil classifications.
The scope and cost of a sampling and analysis plan is inherently difficult to determine prior to the completion of the initial desktop study. However, the assumptions below are being included here for the purposes of an estimate, and they are subject to si gnificant changes after the completion of the ISA Addendum Report.

Jurisdictional Resources
A field verification of the previous jurisdictional delineation will be conducted to confirm the location, extent and type of jurisdiction resources within the project study area and to confirm conformance with current resource agency standard delineation methods During the field visit, where needed, CONSULTANT will capture updated resource data, utilizing routine on -site methods. For the verification, CONSULTANT will confirm that procedures and practices utilized are consistent with the following publications and agency guidance documents: United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual (1987); USACE Regional Supplement to the Wetland Delineation Manual, Arid West Region, Version 2.0 (2008); as well as other current guidance and standard practices from each agency.
Due to the potential for wetlands within the study area, CONSULTANT will mark the corner boundaries of each parcel within the study area the first day of fieldwork and will notify DigAlert to enable the utility operators to either mark their infrastructure onsite or confirm that no infrastructure is present (pursuant to State and federal health and safety laws). After completing the required DigAlert notification, CONSULTANT will perform needed subsurface sampling required to verify or update the wetland data forms.
The field survey results will be compiled and presented in a Jurisdictional Delineation Verification Memo that will confirm the findings of the previous jurisdictional delineation report and/or update the type and quantity of aquatic resources as they pertain to each agency.

Traffic Study
Fehr & Peers will assist with revalidation of the traffic study. The previous study was completed using the LETAM model, which had a base year of 2008 and a future year of 2040. Additionally, traffic counts in the study area were collected in 2018 and are more than three years old.
Given the length of time that has passed since traffic counts were collected, we will collect new counts at some study intersections that were evaluated in the TOAR for the project. New forecasts will be developed using the RIVCOM model, which has is consistent with the 2020 SCAG RTP/SCS (LETAM was consistent with the 2008 RTP/SCS). Fehr & Peers will review the model land use assumptions to confirm that it currently proposed projects in the City and surrounding area.
The following intersections will be counted in the study area and included in the volume comparison analyses:
1. Central Avenue (SR-74) at Collier Avenue (SR-74)
2. Central Avenue (SR-74) at I-15 Southbound Ramps
3. Central Avenue (SR-74) at I-15 Northbound Ramps
4. Central Avenue (SR-74) at Dexter Avenue
5. Central Avenue (SR-74) at Central Plaza Shopping Center Driveway
6. Central Avenue (SR-74) at Lowe’s Shopping Center Driveway
7. Central Avenue (SR-74) at Cambern Avenue
8. Crane Street at Dexter Avenue
9. 3rd Street at Dexter Avenue
10. Main Street at I-15 Northbound Ramps - Note this count will only be used to balance mainline volumes back to the Central Avenue (SR-74) interchange
11. Main Street at I-15 Southbound Ramps - Note this count will only be used to balance mainline volumes back to the Central Avenue (SR-74) interchange
Freeway mainline traffic counts will be obtained from the revalidation being completed for the Franklin Street interchange revalidation effort and, as noted above, the Main Street interchange traffic volumes will be utilized to balance mainline volumes from the Franklin Street overcrossing north to the SR-74 (Central Avenue) interchange.
We will document the results of our volumes comparison in a brief memorandum and work with the project team and Caltrans to identify that the traffic report will not need to be reopened and that the previous traffic volumes are still “valid”. Caltrans typically utilizes a threshold of within 10% to identify consistency in the traffic volumes (either up or down). Please note, although the opening year and future year have been extended slightly, we have generally seen that regional growth forecasts have gone down compared to the 2008 RTP/SCS forecasts and we expect that volumes will be consistent with what was completed previously and that environmental will not need to be reopened.
In addition to the forecasting effort above, for project intersections where traffic volumes are projected to increase, Fehr & Peers will update the Synchro/SimTraffic assessment completed for the PA&ED effort to verify that the project will still meet operational performance needs (and no geometric modifications are required) and we will verify that queuing has not significantly changed either. The abbreviated operations analysis report will be packaged as a supplemental TOAR and submitted to Caltrans for review and approval. Additionally, we will evaluate the freeway ramp merge/diverge/weave assessment at the interchange to verify it s till operates consistent with the previous TOAR findings.
