Under the mitigated scenario, the cancer risk from Project construction and operation at the MEIR receptor is calculated to be 9.1 in 1 million. The other health risks under the mitigated scenario at the MEIR and MEIS are also shown in Table 5 and are below the BAAQMD thresholds. Therefore, with the use of Tier 4 Final diesel engines, or equivalent lower emitting equipment, for tractors/loaders/backhoes, rubber tired dozers, water trucks, cranes, forklifts, and aerial lifts, the Project’s health risks on on-site and off-site sensitive receptors are all below the BAAQMD thresholds of significance; thus, health risk impacts associated with construction and operation of the Project are less than significant with the engine tier requirement as a mitigation measure. There may be other methods for reducing emissions below thresholds (e.g., implementing Tier 4 Final requirements on other categories of equipment), but further analysis would be necessary to confirm they would meet the threshold. The location of the off-site MEIR and MEIS, and the on-site MEIR is shown in Figure 2.
Cumulative Health Risk Assessment
In accordance with BAAQMD CEQA guidelines, Ramboll conducted a cumulative HRA for both offsite sensitive receptors and new onsite sensitive receptors created by the Project. The cumulative assessment tabulates the impact of Project-related risks plus existing offsite sources (stationary and mobile) at the off-site and on-site MEIR locations. The cumulative assessment for onsite receptors is determined at the location of the maximum total risk from the proposed emergency generator. The evaluation requires the identification of any stationary and mobile sources within 1,000 feet of the Project boundary. In addition to the evaluation of each single source, the combined health risk from all TAC and PM2.5 sources are evaluated.
Sources evaluated in the cumulative health risk assessment include any BAAQMD permitted stationary source, roadways with over 10,000 vehicles per day, and any other major source of emissions within the zone of influence such as railways. The BAAQMD provides tools with conservative estimates of impacts from these sources, including a stationary source tool and raster files for railways major streets, and highways. The preliminary health risk screening values from the existing stationary sources on the MEIRs were determined using the BAAQMD’s Health Risk Calculator (Beta Version 4.0)14 and the stationary source information provided by the BAAQMD.15 One foreseeable future stationary source (emergency generator at the proposed development at 500 East 3rd Ave) was also included in the cumulative HRA. The preliminary health risk screening values from the stationary sources considered in the cumulative HRA are presented in Table 20.
BAAQMD’s highway raster file includes impacts from highways in the Bay Area while the major street raster file includes impacts from all roadways with daily traffic above 30,000 vehicles per day.
BAAQMD previously had a roadway screening analysis calculator that could be used to calculate impacts of roadways between 10,000 and 30,000 vehicles per day, but BAAQMD has since removed this roadway screening analysis calculator from their website. There is currently no alternative BAAQMD tool available for quantifying these results. There are no roadways with daily traffic between 10,000 and 30,000 vehicles per day within 1,000 feet of the MEIRs so the impacts from roadways with daily traffic below 30,000 vehicles per day were not calculated.
The raster files and stationary source screening tools were used to estimate the health impacts from all highways, major streets, railways, and stationary sources and combined with the impacts from all other sources at the construction offsite MEIR and on-site cumulative MEIR. 14 BAAQMD, 2019.

Details of each source included in the cumulative analysis are presented in Table 6. The combined impact from all the sources results in a cancer risk of 20 in 1 million at the on-site MEIR. The combined impact from all the sources results in an unmitigated cancer risk of 62 in 1 million and a mitigated cancer risk of 25 in a million at the off-site MEIR, compared to a threshold of 100 in 1 million. The combined non-cancer hazard index at all sensitive receptors are less than 0.1 (threshold of 10). The combined maximum PM2.5 concentrations are 0.19 µg/m3 at the on-site MEIR and 1.3 µg/m3 at the off-site MEIR under the mitigated scenario, compared to a threshold of 0.8 µg/m3). This would be considered a significant cumulative impact.
The primary contributor to the cumulative PM2.5 concentration at the off-site MEIR is a lumber company with woodwork operation, located about 850 feet from the off-site MEIR and contributing approximately 1.1 µg/m3 (80%). This stationary source with BAAQMD Facility Number 9555 caused the exceedance of the cumulative PM2.5 concentrations over the cumulative threshold of 0.8 µg/m3.
BAAQMD provides generalized risk estimates and estimated PM2.5 concentrations for the existing stationary sources, which represents a screening-level analysis based on the size and type of activity that occurs on site. Therefore, the identified concentrations and risks are conservative. If this stationary source were not operational, there would be no cumulative impact associated with the Project and the rest of the cumulative sources. Further, the Project’s contribution from construction activities would be temporary and are below the single source (Project level) thresholds. Therefore, the Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to the significant impact.
CLOSING
The analysis presented above represents emissions and health risk impacts from construction of the proposed Project. The Project does not exceed any BAAQMD CEQA significance thresholds, with the mitigation measure requiring Tier 4 Final diesel engines for the equipment categories of tractors/loaders/backhoes, rubber tired dozers, water trucks, cranes, forklifts, and aerial lifts. Other equivalent or better construction requirements may be available to reduce the Project’s impacts to the same extent as the mitigation measure. Possible alternative measures include the use of natural gas or propane generators, electric welders, and use of cleaner diesel engines on selected pieces of construction equipment. These alternative measures will require additional emissions analysis to demonstrate the same effectiveness as the mitigation measure.

222 E 4th Ave, San Mateo, CA
Road dust equation and parameters are from the California Air Resources Board's (ARB) 2021 Miscellaneous Process Methodology 7.9 for Entrained Road Travel, Paved Road Dust. The silt loading emission factor assumes San Mateo county default roadway fractions and silt loading levels from ARB 2021. The number of "wet" days for San Mateo county is from ARB 2021. This is slightly higher than the default from CalEEMod® Appendix D Table 1.1 (70 days), which was based on older historic data and would result in slightly higher emissions. Other parameters (average weight of vehicles, size multipliers) are from ARB 2021. PM2.5 is assumed to be 15% of PM10 based on paved road dust sampling in California (ARB Speciation Profile #471), which is a more representative fraction than provided in the older AP-42 fugitive dust methodology as discussed in ARB 2021 (page 10).

Modeled Emission Rates from Proposed Project Construction Sources Construction TAC emissions were estimated from on-site off-road emissions, where all PM10 tailpipe emissions are assumed to be DPM (although a portion of this is likely not from diesel sources). On-road emissions from hauling and vendor vehicles were estimated using a modeled trip length of 0.65 miles. These emissions were modeled with the on-site construction sources rather than on separate haul roads. The inclusion of on-road emissions and decision to model these emissions onsite is conservative as the estimated traffic volumes do not exceed the screening levels recommended by BAAQMD (i.e., more than 5,000 vehicles per day and 500 trucks per day) and can be considered minor sources (BAAQMD 2011).

Technical Memorandum
Kittelson & Associates, Inc. (Kittelson) prepared this trip generation memorandum for the 222 East 4th Avenue Project at the existing Draeger’s site in San Mateo, California (Project). The Project proposes to redevelop the existing Draeger Market into a mixed-use building with office, residential, and retail space.
Site access will be accommodated for personal and delivery vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians.
Project Description
Lane Partners is proposing to replace the existing 60,965 square feet Draeger’s market located at 222 East 4 th Avenue with a 5-story, approximately 155,052 square feet mixed-use building with two levels of below grade parking. The building would consist of approximately 104,722 square feet of office space, 17,658 square feet of retail space, and 8,971 square feet of residential space for 10 below-market-rate units at the lower income level. The retail floor would be located on the ground floor, the office space would be spread throughout the first four floors, and the residential space would be split between the ground floor (i.e., residential lobby/elevator) and the fifth floor living areas. The ground floor would also include 12,392 square feet of covered parking area and two levels (89,519 square feet) below grade for a total of 239 parking spaces and 50-60 valet parking spaces. The Project site plan is shown in Figure 1.
The Project site is in downtown San Mateo and is zoned as Central Business District/Residential Overlay District – Mixed Use (CBD). The site is also in a designated “Transit Oriented Development” area as it is within a half mile of the San Mateo Caltrain station.

Trip Generation Calculation
ITE DEVELOPMENT LAND USE CODES
Trip generation is a key consideration for determining local effects of the project on the transportation network. Trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition were used to estimate the number of trips the mixed-use proposed project would generate. ITE trip estimates are tied to specific land use codes. The ITE land use codes found to be most applicable to the Project are listed below.
• Supermarket (ITE 850)
• General Office Building (ITE 710)
• Affordable Housing (ITE 223)
In addition, this Project is assumed to be in the ‘Dense Multi-Use Urban’ context, considered by ITE to be an area that has diverse and interacting complementary land uses with good pedestrian connectivity, and convenient and frequent transit service. This is consistent with the Transit Oriented Development overlay and CBD zoning for the project site for which the San Mateo Municipal code promotes mixed-uses and pedestrian activity. Table 1 below shows the trip generation rates used for the analysis.

TRIP GENERATION CALCULATION
Trip generation estimates for this Project took into consideration three types of trips:
• Primary or New: These are the trips whose specific purpose was to visit the site. Primary trip rates were generated using ITE Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition. • Pass-by: Drivers already on their way to a destination that stop temporarily at the Project Site without a major roadway diversion are considered making “pass-by” trips. Supermarket 850 is the only land use code in ITE Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition for which a pass-by rate was supplied.
The 24% average pass-by rate for this land use was only applicable for Weekday PM Peak, resulting in a reduction of 39 trips.
445 of 1252
July 11, 2022 Page 4
San Mateo Draeger’s Traffic Impact Analysis – Trip Generation Memorandum DRAFT Kittelson & Associates, Inc.
• Internal: Trips that occur between land-uses on a multi-use project site and which can be made without using the off-site street network are considered “internal trips”. Internal trips for this project can be made by walking between uses. Internal capture was estimated using methodology from NCHRP Report 684 – Enhancing Internal Trip Capture for Mixed-Use Developments.
The existing Draeger’s market was included as existing trip credits as it currently generates trips to and from the site. Pass-by trips were also applied to the existing supermarket use.
Table 2 provides a summary of the proposed project’s trip generation. As shown in the table, the net new trip generation would be a reduction of 3,645 average daily weekday trips with a reduction of 135 new trips occurring the morning peak and a reduction of 231 new trips occurring the afternoon peak.

The Proposed Project would generate less daily and peak hour trips than what is currently being generated by the existing Draeger’s supermarket. The proposed mixed-use site would therefore not affect the operations of the roadway network and no further traffic analysis is required. 446 of 1252

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
This geotechnical report was prepared for the sole use of Lane Partners for the 222 East 4th Avenue project located in San Mateo, California. The location of the site is shown on the Vicinity Map, Figure 1. For our use, we were provided with the following document:
As-built plans titled, “Draeger’s Market, San Mateo, CA”, prepared by Field-Paoli Architecture & Planning, dated June 24, 1996.
It is noted that building code references and recommendations provided in this report are based on the 2016 California Building Code (CBC); therefore, this recommendations and code references in this report will need to be updated based on the 2019 CBC that takes effect on January 1, 2020.
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will consist of a 4-story, mixed-use (office and retail) building with 2 levels of belowgrade parking on an approximately 1.1-acre site. The above-grade portion of the structure is anticipated to be of wood- and/or steel-frame construction with the below-grade parking levels of concrete-frame construction.
Structural loads were not available at the time of this report and are anticipated to be typical of this type of structure. Grading is anticipated to include cuts of up to 25 feet for excavation of the below-grade parking levels.
1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our scope of services was presented in our proposal dated October 2, 2019 and consisted of field and laboratory programs to evaluate physical and engineering properties of the subsurface soils, engineering analysis to prepare recommendations for site work and grading, temporary shoring, building foundations, flatwork, retaining walls, and pavements, and preparation of this report. Brief descriptions of our exploration and laboratory programs are presented below. 457 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
1.3 EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Field exploration consisted of two borings drilled on November 6 and 21, 2019 with truckmounted, hollow-stem auger drilling equipment. The borings were drilled to a depth of 60 feet below the existing grades. The borings were backfilled with cement grout in accordance with local requirements; exploration permits were obtained as required by local jurisdictions.
The approximate locations of our exploratory borings are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2.
Details regarding our field program are included in Appendix A.
1.4 LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
In addition to visual classification of samples, the laboratory program focused on obtaining data for foundation design and seismic ground deformation estimates. Testing included moisture contents, dry densities, washed sieve analyses, a Plasticity Index test, unconfined triaxial compression tests, and preliminary corrosion screening. Details regarding our laboratory program are included in Appendix B.
1.5 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
Environmental services were not requested for this project. If environmental concerns are determined to be present during future evaluations, the project environmental consultant should review our geotechnical recommendations for compatibility with the environmental concerns.
SECTION 2: REGIONAL SETTING
2.1 GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The San Francisco Peninsula is a relatively narrow band of rock at the north end of the Santa Cruz Mountains separating the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco Bay. This represents one mountain range in a series of northwesterly-aligned mountains forming the Coast Ranges geomorphic province of California that stretches from the Oregon border nearly to Point Conception. In the San Francisco Bay area, most of the Coast Ranges have developed on a basement of tectonically mixed Cretaceous- and Jurassic-age (70- to 200-million years old) rocks of the Franciscan Complex. Locally these basement rocks are capped by younger sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Most of the Coast Ranges are covered by still younger surficial deposits that reflect geologic conditions of the last million years or so.
Movement on the many splays within the San Andreas Fault system has produced the dominant northwest-oriented structural and topographic trend seen throughout the Coast Ranges today.
This trend reflects the boundary between two of the Earth's major tectonic plates: the North American plate to the east and the Pacific plate to the west. The San Andreas Fault system is about 40 miles wide in the Bay area and extends from the San Gregorio Fault near the coastline to the Coast Ranges-Central Valley blind thrust at the western edge of the Great Central Valley as shown on the Regional Fault Map, Figure 3. The San Andreas Fault is the dominant structure in the system, nearly spanning the length of California, and capable of producing the 458 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE

highest magnitude earthquakes. Many other subparallel or branch faults within the San Andreas system are equally active and nearly as capable of generating large earthquakes. Right-lateral movement dominates on these faults but an increasingly large amount of thrust faulting resulting from compression across the system is now being identified also.
The project site is located on the flatlands surrounding San Francisco Bay west of the present tidal flats. The site is mapped as Holocene age coarse-grained alluvium (Qoa: Pampeyan, 1994) and alluvial fan and fluvial deposits (Qhaf: Brabb et al., 1998), underlain by Franciscan Complex sandstone (fs) with interbedded siltstone and shale.
2.2 REGIONAL SEISMICITY
The San Francisco Bay area region is one of the most seismically active areas in the Country.
While seismologists cannot predict earthquake events, the U.S. Geological Survey’s Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities 2015 revises earlier estimates from their 2008 (2008, UCERF2) publication. Compared to the previous assessment issued in 2008, the estimated rate of earthquakes around magnitude 6.7 (the size of the destructive 1994 Northridge earthquake) has gone down by about 30 percent. The expected frequency of such events statewide has dropped from an average of one per 4.8 years to about one per 6.3 years.
However, in the new study, the estimate for the likelihood that California will experience a magnitude 8 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years has increased from about 4.7 percent for UCERF2 to about 7.0 percent for UCERF3.
UCERF3 estimates that each region of California will experience a magnitude 6.7 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years. Additionally, there is a 63 percent chance of at least one magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake occurring in the Bay Area region between 2007 and 2036.
The faults considered capable of generating significant earthquakes are generally associated with the well-defined areas of crustal movement, which trend northwesterly. The table below presents the State-considered active faults within 25 kilometers of the site.

SECTION 3: SITE CONDITIONS
3.1 SITE BACKGROUND
Based on aerial images provided on HistoricAerials.com website (NETROnline, 2019) and the referenced plans, the site was occupied by a few residential and/or commercial developments and several large trees in an image dated 1946. The site was occupied by a large commercial building with at-grade parking areas and a residential development in the western and eastern portions of the site, respectively, in an image dated 1956. The residential development was not observed in the eastern portion of the site in an image dated 1968; however, additional at-grade parking was observed. Significant changes to the commercial development were not observed in images dated 1980 through 1993. The current commercial development at the site was observed in an image dated 2002, and based on the referenced plans, the current development was constructed in 1996. Significant changes to the current development were not observed in images dated after 2002.

The site is currently occupied by a commercial development consisting of a two-story commercial building with at-grade and one level of below-grade parking. The site is relatively level and at or near the elevation of the adjacent properties and roadways. Based on the referenced plans, the elevation of the site ranges from Elevation 25 feet in the southeastern portion of the site to 29.5 feet in the northwestern portion of the site, City of San Mateo Datum (CSMD).
Surface pavements of the adjacent roadways (Ellsworth Avenue and B Street) generally consisted of 6 to 8 inches of asphalt concrete over 3 to 8 inches of aggregate base. Based on our observations, the existing pavements are in good/poor condition with significant alligator cracking.
3.3 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Below the surface pavements, our explorations generally encountered undocumented fill over alluvial soil. The undocumented fill was encountered to a depth of 5 feet (corresponding to Elevations 20.5 and 24 feet CSMD for Exploratory Borings EB-1 and EB-2, respectively), and consisted of sandy lean clay and clayey sand. The underlying alluvial soil was encountered to a depth of 60 feet below the existing grades (corresponding to Elevations -34.5 and -31 feet CSMD), the maximum depth explored and consisted of very stiff to hard, sandy lean clay with gravel, sandy lean clay, and lean clay with sand. Several prominent layers of medium dense to dense, clayey sand with gravel and dense to very dense, poorly graded sand with gravel were encountered at depths of 5 to 22 feet (corresponding to Elevations 20.5 and 3.5 feet CSMD, respectively) within EB-1, and 1 to 17½ feet (corresponding to Elevations 28 and 11.5 feet CSMD, respectively) and 22½ to 26 feet (corresponding to Elevations 6.5 and 3 feet CSMD, respectively) within EB-2.

3.3.1 Plasticity/Expansion Potential
We performed one Plasticity Index (PI) test on a representative sample of the foundation bearing soil. Test results were used to evaluate expansion potential of surficial soil. The test resulted in a PI of 17, indicating low expansion potential to wetting and drying cycles.
3.3.2 In-Situ Moisture Contents
Laboratory testing indicated that the in-situ moisture contents within the upper 10 feet are at or near the estimated laboratory optimum moisture. Moisture contents from 10 to 25 feet range from 0 to 5 percent over the estimated laboratory optimum moisture.
3.4 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered in our Exploratory Borings (EB-1 and EB-2) at depths of 31 to 32 feet below existing grades (corresponding to Elevations -2 and -6.5 feet CSMD, respectively).
All measurements were taken at the time of drilling and may not represent the stabilized levels that can be higher than the initial levels encountered. Historic high groundwater at the site is mapped at a depth of 18 feet (CGS 2018). Additionally, groundwater monitoring wells in the vicinity of the site (e.g. within approximately 600 feet), indicate depths to groundwater to be about 16¾ to 21½ feet below the existing grades. therefore, a design groundwater depth of 18 feet is recommended.
Fluctuations in groundwater levels occur due to many factors including seasonal fluctuation, underground drainage patterns, regional fluctuations, and other factors.
3.5 CORROSION SCREENING
We tested one sample collected at a depth of 25 feet for resistivity, pH, soluble sulfates, and chlorides. The laboratory test results are summarized in Table 2A.

Many factors can affect the corrosion potential of soil including moisture content, resistivity, permeability, and pH, as well as chloride and sulfate concentration. Typically, soil resistivity, which is a measurement of how easily electrical current flows through a medium (soil and/or water), is the most influential factor. In addition to soil resistivity, chloride and sulfate ion concentrations, and pH also contribute in affecting corrosion potential. 461 of 1252

3.4.1 Preliminary Soil Corrosion Screening
Based on the laboratory test results summarized in Table 2A and published correlations between resistivity and corrosion potential, the soil may be considered moderately corrosive to buried metallic improvements (Chaker and Palmer, 1989).
In accordance with the 2016 CBC Section 1904A.1, alternative cementitious materials for different exposure categories and classes shall be determined in accordance with ACI 318-14 Table 19.3.1.1, Table R19.3.1, and Table 19.3.2.1. Based on the laboratory sulfate test results, a cement type restriction is not required, although, in our opinion, it is generally a good idea to include some sulfate resistance and to maintain a relatively low water-cement ratio. We have summarized applicable exposure categories and classes from ACI 318-14, Table 19.3.1.1 below in Table 2B.

SECTION 4: GEOLOGIC HAZARDS
4.1 FAULT RUPTURE
As discussed above several significant faults are located within 25 kilometers of the site. The site is not located within a State-designated Alquist Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. As shown in 462 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
Figure 3, no known surface expression of fault traces is thought to cross the site; therefore, fault rupture hazard is not a significant geologic hazard at the site.
4.2 ESTIMATED GROUND SHAKING
Moderate to severe (design-level) earthquakes can cause strong ground shaking, which is the case for most sites within the Bay Area. Peak ground accelerations (PGA) of 0.764g was estimated for analysis using a value equal to PGAM = FPGA × PGAG (Equation 11.8-1) as allowed in the 2016 California Building Code (CBC).
4.3 LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL
The site is not currently mapped within a liquefaction hazard zone (CGS, 2018) and is within a zone mapped as having a very low to low susceptibility to liquefaction by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG, 2007). We screened the site for liquefaction during our site exploration by retrieving samples from the site, performing visual classification on sampled materials, and performing various tests to further classify the soil properties.
4.3.1 Background
During strong seismic shaking, cyclically induced stresses can cause increased pore pressures within the soil matrix that can result in liquefaction triggering, soil softening due to shear stress loss, potentially significant ground deformation due to settlement within sandy liquefiable layers as pore pressures dissipate, and/or flow failures in sloping ground or where open faces are present (lateral spreading) (NCEER 1998). Limited field and laboratory data is available regarding ground deformation due to settlement; however, in clean sand layers settlement on the order of 2 to 4 percent of the liquefied layer thickness can occur. Soils most susceptible to liquefaction are loose, non-cohesive soils that are saturated and are bedded with poor drainage, such as sand and silt layers bedded with a cohesive cap.
4.3.2 Analysis
As discussed in the “Subsurface” section above, our borings predominately encountered dense sand below the design groundwater depth of 18 feet; however, we performed a liquefaction analysis to evaluate the potential for liquefaction induced settlement. Following the procedures in the 2008 monograph, Soil Liquefaction During Earthquakes (Idriss and Boulanger, 2008) and in accordance with CDMG Special Publication 117A guidelines (CDMG, 2008) for quantitative analysis, this layer was analyzed for liquefaction triggering and potential post-liquefaction settlement. These methods compare the ratio of the estimated cyclic shaking (Cyclic Stress Ratio - CSR) to the soil’s estimated resistance to cyclic shaking (Cyclic Resistance Ratio - CRR), providing a factor of safety against liquefaction triggering. Factors of safety less than or equal to 1.3 are considered to be potentially liquefiable and capable of post-liquefaction reconsolidation.
The CSR for each layer quantifies the stresses anticipated to be generated due to a designlevel seismic event, is based on the peak horizontal acceleration generated at the ground 463 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE

surface discussed in the “Estimated Ground Shaking” section above, and is corrected for overburden and stress reduction factors as discussed in the procedure developed by Seed and Idriss (1971) and updated in the 2008 Idriss and Boulanger monograph.
The soil’s CRR is estimated from the in-situ density and strength obtained from field SPT blow counts (“N” value). The “N” values are corrected for effective overburden stresses, taking into consideration both the ground water level at the time of exploration and the design ground water level, and stress reduction versus depth factors. The “N” values are also corrected for fines content, hammer efficiency, boring diameter, rod length, and sampler type (with or without liners).
4.3.3 Summary of Liquefaction Potential
Our analyses indicate the dense to very dense sandy layers encountered in our borings below the design groundwater depth of 18 feet are not susceptible to liquefaction based on the Yoshimine (2006) method.
4.3.4 Ground Rupture Potential
The methods used to estimate liquefaction settlement assume there is a sufficient cap of nonliquefiable material to prevent ground rupture or sand boils. Based on the results of our liquefaction analysis discussed above, the potential for ground rupture to occur at the site is negligible.
4.4 LATERAL SPREADING
Lateral spreading is horizontal/lateral ground movement of relatively flat-lying soil deposits towards a free face such as an excavation, channel, or open body of water; typically, lateral spreading is associated with liquefaction of one or more subsurface layers near the bottom of the exposed slope. As failure tends to propagate as block failures, it is difficult to analyze and estimate where the first tension crack will form.
San Mateo Creek is located approximately 980 to 1,450 feet northwest and northeast of the site, respectively. Additionally, the potential for liquefaction at the site is negligible. Therefore, the potential for lateral spreading to occur and/or impact the proposed improvements at the site is also considered to be negligible.
4.5 SEISMIC SETTLEMENT/UNSATURATED SAND SHAKING
Loose unsaturated sandy soils can settle during strong seismic shaking. We evaluated the potential for seismic compaction of the medium dense sandy soil encountered in our borings above a design groundwater depth of 18 based on the work by Pradell (1998). Our analyses indicate that seismic compaction of the sandy soil could result in up to ¾ inch of settlement at the ground surface after strong seismic shaking; however, based on the upper 25 feet of soil being removed for excavation of the basement levels, the remaining seismic sand settlement that could occur would be negligible.

4.6 TSUNAMI/SEICHE
The terms tsunami or seiche are described as ocean waves or similar waves usually created by undersea fault movement or by a coastal or submerged landslide. Tsunamis may be generated at great distance from shore (far field events) or nearby (near field events). Waves are formed, as the displaced water moves to regain equilibrium, and radiates across the open water, similar to ripples from a rock being thrown into a pond. When the waveform reaches the coastline, it quickly raises the water level, with water velocities as high as 15 to 20 knots. The water mass, as well as vessels, vehicles, or other objects in its path create tremendous forces as they impact coastal structures.
Tsunamis have affected the coastline along the Pacific Northwest during historic times. The Fort Point tide gauge in San Francisco recorded approximately 21 tsunamis between 1854 and 1964. The 1964 Alaska earthquake generated a recorded wave height of 7.4 feet and drowned eleven people in Crescent City, California. For the case of a far-field event, the Bay area would have hours of warning; for a near field event, there may be only a few minutes of warning, if any.
A tsunami or seiche originating in the Pacific Ocean would lose much of its energy passing through San Francisco Bay. Based on maps of tsunami inundation zones (CGS, 2009) and the study of tsunami inundation potential for the San Francisco Bay Area (Ritter and Dupre, 1972), areas most likely to be inundated are marshlands, tidal flats, and former bay margin lands that are now artificially filled, but are still at or below sea level, and are generally within 1½ miles of the shoreline. The site is approximately 1.2 miles inland from the San Francisco Bay shoreline and is approximately 25.5 to 29 feet above mean sea level. Therefore, the potential for inundation due to tsunami or seiche is considered low.
4.7 FLOODING
Based on our internet search of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood map public database, the site is located within Zone X described as “Areas determined to be outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. We recommend the project civil engineer be retained to confirm this information and verify the base flood elevation, if appropriate.
SECTION 5: CONCLUSIONS
5.1 SUMMARY
From a geotechnical viewpoint, the project is feasible provided the concerns listed below are addressed in the project design. Descriptions of each concern with brief outlines of our recommendations follow the listed concerns.
Proximity of basement excavation to existing improvements Presence of cohesionless soil at basement level
Differential movement at on-grade to on-structure transitions 465 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
Potential for seismic and static settlement
Soil corrosion potential
5.1.1 Proximity of Basement Excavation to Existing Improvements We understand the basement will likely extend to the existing property lines. Temporary shoring to support the approximately 25-foot deep excavation adjacent to East 4th and 5th Avenues, Ellsworth Avenue, and B Street will likely be necessary. Recommendations for temporary shoring are provided in this report.
5.1.2 Presence of Cohesionless Soil at Basement Level
As discussed, cohesionless (sandy) soils with variable amounts of fines were encountered within portions of the upper 25 feet of the soil profile that may be susceptible to localized sloughing or caving. Contractors should plan on forming footings where sand with low fines contents are encountered, as well as preparation of slab-on-grade subgrade just prior to concrete placement. Other similar construction issues as relates to temporary shoring, utility excavations, and granular material at the base of the basement excavation. These considerations are discussed further within the “Earthwork” and “Foundations” sections of this report.
5.1.3 Differential Movement At On-grade to On-Structure Transitions Some of the at-grade sidewalks and other improvements will transition from on-grade support to overlying the basement. Where the depth of soil cover overlying the basement roof and atgrade improvements is thin or where basement walls extend to within inches of finished grade, these transition areas typically experience increased differential movement due to a variety of causes, including difficulty in achieving compaction of retaining wall backfill closest to the wall.
We recommend consideration be given to where engineered fill is placed behind retaining walls extending to near finished grade, and that subslabs be included beneath flatwork or pavers that can span at least 3 feet beyond the wall. If surface improvements are included that are highly sensitive to differential movement, additional measures may be necessary. We also recommend that retaining wall backfill be compacted to 95 percent where surface improvements are planned (see “Retaining Wall” section).
5.1.4 Potential For Seismic and Static Settlement
5.1.4.1 Seismic Sand Settlement
Additionally, our seismic sand settlement analysis indicates that there is a potential for seismic compaction of localized sand layers located above the design groundwater depth of 18 feet during a significant seismic event. Our analysis indicates that seismic sand settlement of up to ¾ inch could occur at the ground surface; however, based on the upper 25 feet of soil being removed for excavation of the basement levels, our analysis indicates the remaining total seismic sand settlement will be negligible.
466 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
5.1.4.2 Static Settlement
We performed static settlement analyses, based on assumed foundation loads, to estimate the settlement that will occur due to static loading conditions for the proposed building. Our analysis indicates that approximately 1¼ inches of total static settlement will occur for the proposed four-story office/retail building under the anticipated static structural loads, with about ¾ inch of differential static settlement in 30 feet across a mat foundation.
Foundations should be designed to tolerate the anticipated total and differential settlement.
Based on our analysis with assumed foundation loads, it should be feasible to support the proposed building on shallow foundations; however, the building foundations will need to be designed to tolerate total and differential settlement due to static loads and liquefaction-induced settlement. Detailed foundation recommendations are presented in the “Foundations” section.
5.1.5 Soil Corrosion Potential
Our testing indicates sulfate exposure at the site is low and therefore no cement-type restrictions to buried concrete. The corrosion potential for buried metallic structures, such as metal pipes, is considered moderately corrosive. Based on the results of the preliminary soil corrosion screening, special requirements for corrosion control will likely be required to protect metal pipes and fittings.
5.2 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS REVIEW
We recommend that we be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the project structural, civil, and landscape plans and specifications, allowing sufficient time to provide the design team with any comments prior to issuing the plans for construction.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION AND TESTING
As site conditions may vary significantly between the small-diameter borings performed during this investigation, we also recommend that a Cornerstone representative be present to provide geotechnical observation and testing during earthwork and foundation construction. This will allow us to form an opinion and prepare a letter at the end of construction regarding contractor compliance with project plans and specifications, and with the recommendations in our report.
We will also be allowed to evaluate any conditions differing from those encountered during our investigation and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. For these reasons, the recommendations in this report are contingent of Cornerstone providing observation and testing during construction. Contractors should provide at least a 48-hour notice when scheduling our field personnel.

SECTION 6: EARTHWORK
6.1 SITE DEMOLITION
All existing improvements not to be reused for the current development, including all foundations, flatwork, pavements, utilities, and other improvements should be demolished and removed from the site. Recommendations in this section apply to the removal of these improvements, which are currently present on the site, prior to the start of mass grading or the construction of new improvements for the project.
Cornerstone should be notified prior to the start of demolition and should be present on at least a part-time basis during all backfill and mass grading as a result of demolition. Occasionally, other types of buried structures (wells, cisterns, debris pits, etc.) can be found on sites with prior development. If encountered, Cornerstone should be contacted to address these types of structures on a case-by-case basis.
6.1.1 Demolition of Existing Slabs, Foundations and Pavements All slabs, foundations, and pavements should be completely removed from within planned building areas.
We anticipate the majority of the existing improvements at the site will be removed during excavation for the basement; however, as an owner value-engineered option, existing slabs and foundations that extend into areas of planned at-grade improvements such as flatwork or landscape areas may be left in place provided there is at least 3 feet of engineered fill overlying the remaining materials, they are shown not to conflict with new utilities, and that asphalt and concrete more than 10 feet square is broken up to allow subsurface drainage. Future distress and/or higher maintenance may result from leaving these prior improvements in place. A discussion of recycling existing improvements is provided later in this report.
Special care should be taken during the demolition and removal of existing floor slabs, foundations, utilities and pavements to minimize disturbance of the subgrade. Excessive disturbance of the subgrade, which includes either native or previously placed engineered fill, resulting from demolition activities can have serious detrimental effects on planned foundation and paving elements.
Existing foundations are typically mat-slabs, shallow footings, or piers/piles. If drilled piers are encountered within areas of planned at-grade improvements, they should be cut off at an elevation at least 60 inches below proposed improvements or the final subgrade elevation, whichever is deeper. The remainder of the drilled pier could remain in place. As discussed, improvements encountered within the planned building footprint are anticipated to be removed during excavation for the below-grade parking levels. Foundation elements to remain in place should be surveyed and superimposed on the proposed development plans to determine the potential for conflicts or detrimental impacts to the planned construction. Following review, additional mitigation or planned foundation elements may need to be modified. 468 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
6.1.2 Abandonment of Existing Utilities
All existing utilities within the building footprint are anticipated to be removed during excavations for the basement levels. Utilities extending beyond the building area may be abandoned in place provided the ends are plugged with concrete, they do not conflict with planned improvements, and that the trench fills do not pose significant risk to the planned surface improvements.
The risk for owners associated with abandoning utilities in place include the potential for future differential settlement of existing trench fills, and/or partial collapse and potential ground loss into utility lines that are not completely filled with grout.
6.2 SITE CLEARING AND PREPARATION
6.2.1 Site Stripping
The site should be stripped of all surface and subsurface improvements to be removed within the proposed development area. Demolition of existing improvements is discussed in the prior paragraphs.
6.3 REMOVAL OF EXISTING FILLS
Although up to 5 feet of undocumented fill was encountered within our borings, fills extending into planned at-grade flatwork areas will likely be removed during excavation for the basement levels.
If materials are encountered that do not meet the requirements, such as debris, wood, trash, those materials should be screened out of the remaining material and be removed from the site.
Backfill of excavations should be placed in lifts and compacted in accordance with the “Compaction” section below.
6.4 TEMPORARY CUT AND FILL SLOPES
The contractor is responsible for maintaining all temporary slopes and providing temporary shoring where required. Temporary shoring, bracing, and cuts/fills should be performed in accordance with the strictest government safety standards. On a preliminary basis, the upper 15 feet at the site may be classified as OSHA Soil Type C materials. A Cornerstone representative should be retained to confirm the preliminary site classification. Recommended soil parameters for temporary shoring are provided in the “Temporary Shoring” section of this report.
Excavations performed during site demolition and fill removal should be sloped at 3:1 (horizontal:vertical) within the upper 5 feet below building subgrade. Excavations extending more than 5 feet below building subgrade and excavations in pavement and flatwork areas should be sloped in accordance with the OSHA soil classification. 469 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
6.5 BELOW-GRADE EXCAVATIONS
Below-grade excavations may be constructed with temporary slopes in accordance with the “Temporary Cut and Fill Slopes” section above if space allows. Alternatively, temporary shoring may support the planned cuts up to 25 feet. We have provided geotechnical parameters for shoring design in the section below. The choice of shoring method should be left to the contractor’s judgment based on experience, economic considerations and adjacent improvements such as utilities, pavements, and foundation loads. Temporary shoring should support adjacent improvements without distress and should be the contractor’s responsibility. A pre-condition survey including photographs and installation of monitoring points for existing site improvements should be included in the contractor’s scope. We should be provided the opportunity to review the geotechnical parameters of the shoring design prior to implementation; the project structural engineer should be consulted regarding support of adjacent structures.
6.5.1 Temporary Shoring
Based on the site conditions encountered during our investigation, the cuts may be supported by soldier beams and tie-backs, braced excavations, soil nailing, or potentially other methods.
Where shoring will extend more than about 10 feet, restrained shoring will most likely be required to limit detrimental lateral deflections and settlement behind the shoring. In addition to soil earth pressures, the shoring system will need to support adjacent loads such as construction vehicles and incidental loading, existing structure foundation loads, and street loading. Heavy construction loads (cranes, etc.) and material stockpiles are not likely to be able to be kept at least 15 feet behind the shoring; therefore, we recommend the shoring be designed to support the loading. The shoring designer should provide for timely and uniform mobilization of soil pressures that will not result in excessive lateral deflections. Minimum suggested geotechnical parameters for shoring design are provided in the table below.
Table 3: Suggested Temporary Shoring Design Parameters

We performed our borings with hollow-stem auger drilling equipment and as such were not able to evaluate the potential for caving soils, which can create difficult conditions during soldier beam, tie-back, or soil nail installation; caving soils can also be problematic during excavation and lagging placement. The contractor is responsible for evaluating excavation difficulties prior to construction. Where relatively clean sands were encountered during our exploration, pilot 470 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
holes performed by the contractor may be desired to further evaluate these conditions prior to the finalization of the shoring budget.
In addition to anticipated deflection of the shoring system, other factors such as voids created by soil sloughing, and erosion of granular layers due to perched water conditions can create adverse ground subsidence and deflections. The contractor should attempt to cut the excavation as close to neat lines as possible; where voids are created, they should be backfilled as soon as possible with sand, gravel, or grout.
As previously mentioned, we recommend that a monitoring program be developed and implemented to evaluate the effects of the shoring on adjacent improvements. All sensitive improvements should be located and monitored for horizontal and vertical deflections and distress cracking based on a pre-construction survey. For multi-level excavations, the installation of inclinometers at critical areas may be desired for more detailed deflection monitoring. The monitoring frequency should be established and agree to by the project team prior to start of shoring construction.
The above recommendations are for the use of the design team; the contractor in conjunction with input from the shoring designer should perform additional subsurface exploration they deem necessary to design the chosen shoring system. A California-licensed civil or structural engineer must design and be in responsible charge of the temporary shoring design. The contractor is responsible for means and methods of construction, as well as site safety.
6.6 AT-GRADE SUBGRADE PREPARATION
After site clearing and demolition is complete, and prior to backfilling any excavations resulting from fill removal or demolition, at-grade excavation subgrade and subgrade within areas to receive additional site fills and/or slabs-on-grade should be scarified to a depth of at least 6 inches, moisture conditioned, and compacted in accordance with the “Compaction” section below.
6.7 SUBGRADE PREPARATION
Due to the sandy soils likely to be encountered at the subgrade elevation, we recommend that subgrade compaction and proof rolling be performed within 24 hours of capillary break layer or slab-on-grade construction.
6.8 SUBGRADE STABILIZATION MEASURES
Soil subgrade and fill materials, especially soils with high fines contents such as clays and silty soils, can become unstable due to high moisture content, whether from high in-situ moisture contents or from winter rains. As the moisture content increases over the laboratory optimum, it becomes more likely the materials will be subject to softening and yielding (pumping) from construction loading or become unworkable during placement and compaction. 471 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
As discussed in the “Subsurface” section in this report, the in-situ moisture contents are about 0 to 5 percent over the estimated laboratory optimum in the upper 25 feet of the soil profile. The contractor should anticipate drying the soils prior to reusing them as fill. In addition, repetitive rubber-tire loading will likely de-stabilize the soil.
6.8.1 Below-Grade Excavation Stabilization
As the planned basement excavation will extend near the current ground water level, we recommend that the contractor plan to excavate an additional 12 to 18 inches below subgrade, place a layer of stabilization fabric (Mirafi RS380i, or equivalent) at the bottom, and backfill with clean, crushed rock. The crushed rock should be consolidated in place with light vibratory equipment. Rubber-tire equipment should not be allowed to operate on the exposed subgrade; the crushed rock should be stockpiled and pushed out over the stabilization fabric.
6.9 MATERIAL FOR FILL
6.9.1 Re-Use of On-site Soils
On-site soils with an organic content less than 3 percent by weight may be reused as general fill. General fill should not have lumps, clods or cobble pieces larger than 6 inches in diameter; 85 percent of the fill should be smaller than 2½ inches in diameter. Minor amounts of oversize material (smaller than 12 inches in diameter) may be allowed provided the oversized pieces are not allowed to nest together and the compaction method will allow for loosely placed lifts not exceeding 12 inches.
6.9.2 Potential Import Sources
Imported and non-expansive material should be inorganic with a Plasticity Index (PI) of 15 or less, and not contain recycled asphalt concrete where it will be used within the building area.
To prevent significant caving during trenching or foundation construction, imported material should have sufficient fines. Samples of potential import sources should be delivered to our office at least 10 days prior to the desired import start date. Information regarding the import source should be provided, such as any site geotechnical reports. If the material will be derived from an excavation rather than a stockpile, potholes will likely be required to collect samples from throughout the depth of the planned cut that will be imported. At a minimum, laboratory testing will include PI tests. Material data sheets for select fill materials (Class 2 aggregate base, ¾ inch crushed rock, quarry fines, etc.) listing current laboratory testing data (not older than 6 months from the import date) may be provided for our review without providing a sample.
If current data is not available, specification testing will need to be completed prior to approval.
Environmental and soil corrosion characterization should also be considered by the project team prior to acceptance. Suitable environmental laboratory data to the planned import quantity should be provided to the project environmental consultant; additional laboratory testing may be required based on the project environmental consultant’s review. The potential import source should also not be more corrosive than the on-site soils, based on pH, saturated resistivity, and soluble sulfate and chloride testing.

6.10 COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS
All fills, and subgrade areas where fill, slabs-on-grade, and pavements are planned, should be placed in loose lifts 8 inches thick or less and compacted in accordance with ASTM D1557 (latest version) requirements as shown in the table below. In general, clayey soils should be compacted with sheepsfoot equipment and sandy/gravelly soils with vibratory equipment; opengraded materials such as crushed rock should be placed in lifts no thicker than 18 inches consolidated in place with vibratory equipment. Each lift of fill and all subgrade should be firm and unyielding under construction equipment loading in addition to meeting the compaction requirements to be approved. The contractor (with input from a Cornerstone representative) should evaluate the in-situ moisture conditions, as the use of vibratory equipment on soils with high moistures can cause unstable conditions. General recommendations for soil stabilization are provided in the “Subgrade Stabilization Measures” section of this report. Where the soil’s PI is 20 or greater, the expansive soil criteria should be used.

6.10.1 Construction Moisture Conditioning
Expansive soils can undergo significant volume change when dried then wetted. The contractor should keep all exposed expansive soil subgrade (and also trench excavation side walls) moist until protected by overlying improvements (or trenches are backfilled). If expansive soils are allowed to dry out significantly, re-moisture conditioning may require several days of re-wetting (flooding is not recommended), or deep scarification, moisture conditioning, and re-compaction.
6.11 TRENCH BACKFILL
Utility lines constructed within public right-of-way should be trenched, bedded and shaded, and backfilled in accordance with the local or governing jurisdictional requirements. Utility lines in private improvement areas should be constructed in accordance with the following requirements unless superseded by other governing requirements.
All utility lines should be bedded and shaded to at least 6 inches over the top of the lines with crushed rock (⅜-inch-diameter or greater) or well-graded sand and gravel materials conforming to the pipe manufacturer’s requirements. Open-graded shading materials should be consolidated in place with vibratory equipment and well-graded materials should be compacted to at least 90 percent relative compaction with vibratory equipment prior to placing subsequent backfill materials.
General backfill over shading materials may consist of on-site native materials provided they meet the requirements in the “Material for Fill” section, and are moisture conditioned and compacted in accordance with the requirements in the “Compaction” section.
Where utility lines will cross perpendicular to strip footings, the footing should be deepened to encase the utility line, providing sleeves or flexible cushions to protect the pipes from anticipated foundation settlement, or the utility lines should be backfilled to the bottom of footing with sandcement slurry or lean concrete. Where utility lines will parallel footings and will extend below the “foundation plane of influence,” an imaginary 1:1 plane projected down from the bottom edge of the footing, either the footing will need to be deepened so that the pipe is above the foundation plane of influence or the utility trench will need to be backfilled with sand-cement slurry or lean concrete within the influence zone. Sand-cement slurry used within foundation influence zones should have a minimum compressive strength of 75 psi.
On expansive soils sites it is desirable to reduce the potential for water migration into building and pavement areas through the granular shading materials. We recommend that a plug of low-permeability clay soil, sand-cement slurry, or lean concrete be placed within trenches just outside where the trenches pass into building and pavement areas.
6.12 SITE DRAINAGE
Ponding should not be allowed adjacent to building foundations, slabs-on-grade, or pavements.
Hardscape surfaces should slope at least 2 percent towards suitable discharge facilities; landscape areas should slope at least 3 percent towards suitable discharge facilities. Roof 474 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
runoff should be directed away from building areas in closed conduits, to approved infiltration facilities, or on to hardscaped surfaces that drain to suitable facilities. Retention, detention or infiltration facilities should be spaced at least 10 feet from buildings, and preferably at least 5 feet from slabs-on-grade or pavements. However, if retention, detention or infiltration facilities are located within these zones, we recommend that these treatment facilities meet the requirements in the Storm Water Treatment Design Considerations section of this report.
6.13 LANDSCAPE CONSIDERATIONS
Since the near-surface soils are moderately to highly expansive, we recommend greatly reducing the amount of surface water infiltrating these soils near foundations and exterior slabson-grade. This can typically be achieved by:
Using drip irrigation
Avoiding open planting within 3 feet of the building perimeter or near the top of existing slopes
Regulating the amount of water distributed to lawns or planter areas by using irrigation timers
Selecting landscaping that requires little or no watering, especially near foundations.
We recommend that the landscape architect consider these items when developing landscaping plans.
SECTION 7: FOUNDATIONS
7.1 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
In our opinion, the proposed structure may be supported on shallow foundations consisting of a mat foundation provided the recommendations in the “Earthwork” section and the sections below are followed.
7.2 SEISMIC DESIGN CRITERIA
As discussed, the 2019 CBC will take effect starting January 1, 2020; therefore, the project structural design will be based on the 2019 CBC, which provides criteria for the seismic design of buildings in Chapter 16. The “Seismic Coefficients” used to design buildings are established based on a series of tables and figures addressing different site factors, including the soil profile in the upper 100 feet below grade and mapped spectral acceleration parameters based on distance to the controlling seismic source/fault system. Based on our borings and review of local geology, the site is underlain by deep alluvial soils with typical SPT “N” values between 15 and 50 blows per foot. Therefore, we have classified the site as Soil Classification D. The mapped spectral acceleration parameters SS and S1 were calculated using the online web-based program ATC Hazards by Location (https://hazards.atcouncil.org), based on the site coordinates 475 of 1252

presented below and the site classification. The values in Table 4 should not be used for design unless in the judgement of the project structural engineer Exception 2 under Section 11.4.8, of ASCE 7-16, can be used for project design.

In our opinion, the proposed structure may be supported on shallow foundations consisting of a mat foundation provided the recommendations in the “Earthwork” section and the sections below are followed.
7.3 SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS
As discussed, groundwater was encountered within our borings at depths of 31 to 32 feet below the existing grade. Additionally, a design groundwater depth of 18 feet is recommended. The bottom of the basement foundations is assumed to be at a depth of 25 feet; therefore, the design groundwater is about 7 feet above the assumed bottom of the basement foundation. We recommend that waterproofing and hydrostatic pressure due perched water (above the basement slab and behind the walls) be considered in the foundation design. Detailed recommendations are provided below.
7.3.1 Reinforced Concrete Mat Foundation
As discussed, the four-story office/retail building will include a two-level basement anticipated to be up to 25 feet below the existing grades. Based on the assumed structural loads and the depth to historic high groundwater, the structure may be supported on a mat foundation. 476 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
7.3.2 Allowable Mat Bearing Pressure
We have estimated areal loading for our analysis based on a building load of 125 psf per floor for the above-grade steel office/retail structure and 150 psf per floor for the basement. Based on the assumed structural loads and provided total footprint, we have estimated an average areal pressure of about 800 pounds per square foot (psf) for the structure. We recommend the allowable bearing pressure at heavier loaded portions of the mat slab be limited to an allowable bearing pressure of 2,500 psf for dead plus live loads. The maximum bearing pressure may be increased by one-third for all loads, including wind or seismic. This pressure is a net value; the mat weight may be neglected for the portion of the mat extending below grade. Top and bottom reinforcing steel should be included as required to help span irregularities and differential settlement. It is essential that we observe the mat foundation pad prior to placement of reinforcing steel.
7.3.3 Mat Foundation Settlement
We estimate the total settlement due to static loading would be about 1¼ inches with differential movement of about ¾ inch generally from the center of the mat to the mat edges. If foundations designed in accordance with the above recommendations are not capable of resisting such differential movement, additional reinforcement or increased mat thickness may be required.
7.3.4 Mat Foundation Lateral Loading
Lateral loads may be resisted by friction between the bottom of mat foundation and the supporting subgrade, and also by passive pressures generated against deepened mat edges.
An ultimate frictional resistance of 0.4 (0.27 allowable) applied to the mat dead load, and an ultimate passive pressure based on an equivalent fluid pressure of 500 pcf (330 pcf allowable) may be used in design.
7.3.5 Mat Modulus of Soil Subgrade Reaction
We recommend using a variable modulus of subgrade reaction to provide a more accurate soil response and prediction of shears and moments in the mat. This will require at least one iteration between our soil model and the structural SAFE (or equivalent) analysis for the mat. A preliminary modulus of subgrade reaction for the initial analysis is provided below.
As discussed above, we estimated an average areal pressure of 800 psf within the structure.
Based on this pressure, we calculated a preliminary modulus of soil subgrade reaction for the mat foundation. Based on the anticipated loads for the mat slabs and soil conditions, we recommend an initial modulus of soil subgrade reaction of 10 pci be used for preliminary SAFE runs. As discussed above, this modulus of soil subgrade reaction is intended for use in the first iteration of the structural SAFE analysis for the mat design. We will provide a revised plan with contours of equal modulus of subgrade reaction values following our receipt of output from initial SAFE runs indicating bearing pressures due to dead plus live loading across the mat. 477 of 1252

7.4 HYDROSTATIC UPLIFT AND WATERPROOFING
As discussed, perched groundwater conditions could potentially develop in the sand layers during the life of the structure. To mitigate potential impacts to the structure due to perched groundwater buildup, we recommend that basement walls be designed with full drainage behind the walls or be designed for hydrostatic pressure (an additional 40 pcf of fluid pressure) and waterproofed. However, waterproofing should be considered for drained wall also.
If a perimeter foundation drain system to on-site detention is not planned, we recommend designing the slab for some amount of hydrostatic uplift pressure. As the issue is the potential for short duration perched water events and not long-term water table rises, the choice of the amount of uplift pressure is difficult to predict, if it will even occur over the life of the structure.
Therefore, the design could proceed based on a risk versus cost basis. For a lower risk, we judge 7 feet of hydrostatic pressure to be reasonable, as measured from the basement finished floor. To lower slab cost, at somewhat higher risk, 5 feet can be used.
SECTION 8: CONCRETE SLABS AND PEDESTRIAN PAVEMENTS
8.1 BELOW-GRADE INTERIOR SLAB-ON-GRADE
As the Plasticity Index (PI) of the surficial soils ranges up to 17, the proposed slabs-on-grade may be directly on subgrade prepared in accordance with the recommendations in the “Earthwork” section of this report. However, if unstable subgrade conditions are encountered, subgrade stability recommendations provided in Section If moisture-sensitive floor coverings are planned, the recommendations in the “Interior Slabs Moisture Protection Considerations” section below may be incorporated in the project design if desired. If significant time elapses between initial subgrade preparation and slab-on-grade NEF construction, the subgrade should be proof-rolled to confirm subgrade stability, and if the soil has been allowed to dry out, the subgrade should be re-moisture conditioned to at least 3 percent over the optimum moisture content.
The structural engineer should determine the appropriate slab reinforcement for the loading requirements and considering the expansion potential of the underlying soils. For unreinforced concrete slabs, ACI 302.1R recommends limiting control joint spacing to 24 to 36 times the slab thickness in each direction, or a maximum of 18 feet.
8.2 INTERIOR SLABS MOISTURE PROTECTION CONSIDERATIONS
The following general guidelines for concrete slab-on-grade construction where floor coverings are planned are presented for the consideration by the developer, design team, and contractor.
These guidelines are based on information obtained from a variety of sources, including the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and are intended to reduce the potential for moisture-related problems causing floor covering failures, and may be supplemented as necessary based on project-specific requirements. The application of these guidelines or not will not affect the geotechnical aspects of the slab-on-grade performance.

129-6-1
Place a minimum 10-mil vapor retarder conforming to ASTM E 1745, Class C requirements or better directly below the concrete slab; the vapor retarder should extend to the slab edges and be sealed at all seams and penetrations in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and ASTM E 1643 requirements. A 4-inch-thick capillary break, consisting of crushed rock should be placed below the vapor retarder and consolidated in place with vibratory equipment. The mineral aggregate shall be of such size that the percentage composition by dry weight as determined by laboratory sieves will conform to the following gradation:
Sieve Size Percentage Passing Sieve
1” 100
¾” 90 – 100
No. 4 0 - 10
The concrete water:cement ratio should be 0.45 or less. Mid-range plasticizers may be used to increase concrete workability and facilitate pumping and placement. Water should not be added after initial batching unless the slump is less than specified and/or the resulting water:cement ratio will not exceed 0.45. Where floor coverings are planned, all concrete surfaces should be properly cured. Water vapor emission levels and concrete pH should be determined in accordance with ASTM F1869-98 and F710-98 requirements and evaluated against the floor covering manufacturer’s requirements prior to installation.
8.3 EXTERIOR FLATWORK (AT-GRADE)
Exterior concrete flatwork subject to pedestrian and/or occasional light pick up loading may be supported directly on subgrade prepared in accordance with the “Earthwork” recommendations of this report. To help reduce the potential for uncontrolled shrinkage cracking, adequate expansion and control joints should be included. Consideration should be given to limiting the control joint spacing to a maximum of about 2 feet in each direction for each inch of concrete thickness. Flatwork should be isolated from adjacent foundations or retaining walls except where limited sections of structural slabs are included to help span irregularities in retaining wall backfill at the transitions between at-grade and on-structure flatwork.
SECTION 9: RETAINING WALLS
9.1 STATIC LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
The structural design of any site retaining wall should include resistance to lateral earth pressures that develop from the soil behind the wall, any undrained water pressure, and surcharge loads acting behind the wall. Provided a drainage system is constructed behind the wall to prevent the build-up of hydrostatic pressures as discussed in the section below, we recommend that the walls with level backfill be designed for the following pressures:

Table 5: Recommended Lateral Earth Pressures

If adequate drainage cannot be provided behind the wall, an additional equivalent fluid pressure of 40 pcf should be added to the values above for both restrained and unrestrained walls for the portion of the wall that will not have drainage. Damp proofing or waterproofing of the walls may be considered where moisture penetration and/or efflorescence are not desired.
9.2 SEISMIC LATERAL EARTH PRESSURES
The 2016 California Building Code (CBC) states that lateral pressures from earthquakes should be considered in the design of basements and retaining walls. We developed seismic earth pressures for the proposed basement using interim recommendations generally based on refinement of the Mononobe-Okabe method (Lew et al., SEAOC 2010). Because the walls are greater than 12 feet in height, and peak ground accelerations are greater than 0.40g, we checked the result of the seismic increment when added to the recommended active earth pressure against the recommended fixed wall earth pressures. Basement walls are not free to deflect and should therefore be designed for static conditions as a restrained wall, which is also a CBC requirement. Based on current recommendations for seismic earth pressures, it appears that active earth pressures plus a seismic increment exceed the restrained (i.e. at-rest), static wall earth pressures. Therefore, we recommend checking the walls for the seismic condition in accordance with the interim recommendations of the above referenced paper and the 2013 CBC.
The CBC prescribes basic load combinations for structures, components and foundations with the intention that their design strength equals or exceeds the effects of the factored loads. With respect to the load from lateral earth pressure and groundwater pressure, the CBC prescribes the basic combinations shown in CBC equations 16-2 and 16-7 below.
1.2(D + F) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5(Lr or S or R) [Eq. 16-2]
In Eq. 16-2: H - should represent the total static lateral earth pressure, which for the basement wall will be restrained (use 45 pcf + 8H psf)
0.9(D + F) + 1.0E + 1.6H [Eq. 16-7]
In Eq. 16-7: H - should represent the static “active” earth pressure component under seismic loading conditions (use 45 pcf)
480 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
E - should represent the seismic increment component in Eq. 16-7, a triangular load with a resultant force of 18.5H2, which should be applied one third of the height up from the base of the wall (and which can also be expressed as an equivalent fluid pressure equal to 37 pcf).
The interim recommendations in the SEAOC paper more appropriately split out "active" earth pressure (and not the restrained ["at-rest"] pressure) from our report and provide the total seismic increment so that different load factors can be applied in accordance with different risk levels.
9.3 WALL DRAINAGE
Miradrain, AmerDrain or other equivalent drainage matting should be used for wall drainage where below-grade walls are temporarily shored and the shoring will be flush with the back of the permanent walls. The drainage panel should be connected at the base of the wall by a horizontal drainage strip and closed or through-wall system such as the TotalDrain system from AmerDrain.
Sections of horizontal drainage strips should be connected with either the manufacturer’s connector pieces or by pulling back the filter fabric, overlapping the panel dimples, and replacing the filter fabric over the connection. At corners, a corner guard, corner connection insert, or a section of crushed rock covered with filter fabric must be used to maintain the drainage path. In addition, where drainage panels will connect from a horizontal application for plaza areas to vertical basement wall drainage panels, the drainage path must be maintained.
We are not aware of manufactured corner protection suitable for this situation; therefore, we recommend that a section of crushed rock be placed at the transitions. The crushed rock should be at least 3 inches thick, extend at least 12 inches horizontally over the top of the basement roof and 12 inches down from the top of the basement wall, and have a layer of filter fabric covering the crushed rock.
Drainage panels should terminate 18 to 24 inches from final exterior grade unless capped by hardscape. The drainage panel filter fabric should be extended over the top of and behind the panel to protect it from intrusion of the adjacent soil. If the shoring system will be offset behind the back of permanent wall, the drainage systems discussed in the “At-Grade Site Walls” section may also be used.
9.4 VEHICLE SURCHARGE LOADS
We understand the basement walls along East 4th and 5th Avenues, B Street, and South Ellsworth Avenue will possibly be extended under the existing sidewalk. Therefore, the basement walls will likely be subject to traffic loads. We recommend the basement walls along these streets be designed to resist a traffic surcharge load of 250 psf located at the top of the wall.
481 of 1252
222 EAST 4TH AVENUE
129-6-1
9.5 BACKFILL
Where surface improvements will be located over the retaining wall backfill, backfill placed behind the walls should be compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction using light compaction equipment. Where surface improvements are not planned, backfill should be compacted to at least 90 percent. If heavy compaction equipment is used, the walls should be temporarily braced.
As discussed previously, consideration should be given to the transitions from on-grade to onstructure. Providing subslabs or other methods for reducing differential movement of flatwork or pavements across this transition should be included in the project design.
9.6 FOUNDATIONS (AT-GRADE)
Site retaining walls may be supported on a continuous spread footing on natural, undisturbed soil or engineered fill, be at least 15 inches wide, and extend at least 16 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. Lowest adjacent grade is defined as the deeper of the following: 1) bottom of the adjacent interior slab-on-grade, or 2) finished exterior grade, excluding landscaping topsoil.
The deeper footing embedment is due to the presence of highly expansive soils and is intended to embed the footing below the zone of significant seasonal moisture fluctuation, reducing the potential for differential movement.
Footings constructed to the above dimensions and in accordance with the “Earthwork” recommendations of this report are capable of supporting maximum allowable bearing pressures of 2,000 psf for dead loads, 3,000 psf for combined dead plus live loads, and 4,000 psf for all loads including wind and seismic. These pressures are based on factors of safety of 3.0, 2.0, and 1.5 applied to the ultimate bearing pressure for dead, dead plus live, and all loads, respectively. These pressures are net values; the weight of the footing may be neglected for the portion of the footing extending below grade (typically, the full footing depth).
Top and bottom mats of reinforcing steel should be included in continuous footings to help span irregularities and differential settlement.

APPENDIX A: FIELD INVESTIGATION
The field investigation consisted of a surface reconnaissance and a subsurface exploration program using truck-mounted, hollow-stem, auger drilling equipment. Two 8-inch-diameter exploratory borings were drilled on November 6 and 21, 2019 to a depth of 60 feet. The approximate locations of exploratory borings are shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. The soils encountered were continuously logged in the field by our representative and described in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (ASTM D2488). Boring logs, as well as a key to the classification of the soil, are included as part of this appendix.
Boring locations were approximated using existing site boundaries and other site features as references. Boring elevations were based on interpolation of plan contours. The locations and elevations of the borings should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used.
Representative soil samples were obtained from the borings at selected depths. All samples were returned to our laboratory for evaluation and appropriate testing. The standard penetration resistance blow counts were obtained by dropping a 140-pound hammer through a 30-inch free fall. The 2-inch O.D. split-spoon sampler was driven 18 inches and the number of blows was recorded for each 6 inches of penetration (ASTM D1586). 2.5-inch I.D. samples were obtained using a Modified California Sampler driven into the soil with the 140-pound hammer previously described. Unless otherwise indicated, the blows per foot recorded on the boring log represent the accumulated number of blows required to drive the last 12 inches. The various samplers are denoted at the appropriate depth on the boring logs.
Field tests included an evaluation of the unconfined compressive strength of the soil samples using a pocket penetrometer device. The results of these tests are presented on the individual boring logs at the appropriate sample depths.
Attached boring logs and related information depict subsurface conditions at the locations indicated and on the date designated on the logs. Subsurface conditions at other locations may differ from conditions occurring at these boring locations. The passage of time may result in altered subsurface conditions due to environmental changes. In addition, any stratification lines on the logs represent the approximate boundary between soil types and the transition may be gradual.

APPENDIX B: LABORATORY TEST PROGRAM
The laboratory testing program was performed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of the soils retrieved from the site to aid in verifying soil classification.
Moisture Content: The natural water content was determined (ASTM D2216) on 27 samples of the materials recovered from the borings. These water contents are recorded on the boring logs at the appropriate sample depths.
Dry Densities: In place dry density determinations (ASTM D2937) were performed on 17 samples to measure the unit weight of the subsurface soils. Results of these tests are shown on the boring logs at the appropriate sample depths.
Washed Sieve Analyses: The percent soil fraction passing the No. 200 sieve (ASTM D1140) was determined on two samples of the subsurface soils to aid in the classification of these soils.
Results of these tests are shown on the boring logs at the appropriate sample depths.
Plasticity Index: One Plasticity Index determination (ASTM D4318) was performed on a sample of the subsurface soil to measure the range of water contents over which this material exhibits plasticity. The Plasticity Index was used to classify the soil in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System and to evaluate the soil expansion potential. Results of this test are shown on the boring log at the appropriate sample depth.
Undrained-Unconsolidated Triaxial Shear Strength: The undrained shear strength was determined on two relatively undisturbed samples by unconsolidated-undrained triaxial shear strength testing (ASTM D2850). The results of this test are included as part of this appendix.
Soil Corrosion: One soluble sulfate determination (ASTM D4327), one resistivity test (ASTM G57), one chloride determination (ASTM D4327), and one pH determination (ASTM G51) were performed on a sample of the subsurface soil. Results of these tests are attached in this appendix.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report documents the results of a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Assessment completed for the 222 East 4th Avenue Project (Project), located on 222 East 4th Avenue in the City of San Mateo (City), California. The Project includes the demotion of the existing building on site, an approximate 60,965 square foot supermarket, and the construction of a new five-story 155,052 square foot mixed-use office/residential/commercial building and associated features in the City of San Mateo (City), California.
This assessment is based on the methodology recommended by the City of San Mateo and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for project-level review and was prepared with consideration of the emissions reduction actions proposed by the Project. The purpose of this assessment is to estimate Project-generated GHG emissions attributable to the Project and to determine the level of impact the Project would have on the environment.
1.1 Project Location
The approximate 1.1-acre Project Site (APNs 034-176-050, 034-176-070, 034-176-080, 034-176-090) is bounded by East 4th Avenue to the northwest, South B Street to the northeast, East 5th Avenue to the southeast, and South Ellsworth Avenue to the southwest. The Project Site is designated as Downtown Retail Core under the City’s Downtown Area Plan and is zoned CBD/R (Central Business District/Residential Overlay District – Mixed Use). The Downtown Area Plan generally describes the Downtown Retail Core designation as a good mix of ground floor retail uses that will contribute to foster retail vitality and downtown’s pedestrian-oriented environment. The San Mateo Municipal Code states that the purpose of the CBD District is to encourage the development and re-use of existing downtown structures as a center for retail, cultural, entertainment, and community services uses. Pedestrian activity should be strongly encouraged at the ground floor level, while upper floor office and residential uses should be encouraged to promote active daytime and nighttime use of the downtown area. The Residential Overlay District requires that residential development on properties zoned CBD/R be subject to /R density standards.
1.2 Project Description
The Project proposes the demotion of the existing building on site, an approximate 60,965 square foot supermarket, and the construction of a new five-story 155,052 square foot mixed-use office/residential/commercial building. The Proposed Project includes 104,722 square-feet of office space, 17,658 square-feet of retail space (supermarket), 8,971 square-feet of residential space in the form of single bedroom apartments and studios. The retail space would be located on the ground floor of the proposed building, the office space would be spread throughout the first four floors, and the residential space would be split between the ground floor (i.e. residential lobby/elevator) and the fifth floor living areas. The residential space would consist of a total of 10 units made up of eight one-bedroom units and two studio units. The ground floor would also include 12,392 square-feet of covered parking area, and approximately 9,309 square-feet of shared use space (i.e., lobbies, utility rooms, etc.) split between the ground floor and fifth floor. The proposed building would include two outdoor terraces on the third level, one terrace on the fourth level, and a roof deck totaling 14,821 square-feet. The roof deck would include 1,724 square-feet of common usable open space for the proposed residential tenants. The Project would 501 of 1252

also include an approximate 2,070 square-foot community open space and an approximate 1,450 squarefoot outdoor dining space both located at the western corner of the Project Site, at the intersection of East 4th Avenue and South Ellsworth Avenue. The community open space and outdoor dining space would include landscaping and outdoor seating.

Vehicle access to the Project Site would primarily be provided via a parking garage entrance on East 5th Avenue. From this garage entrance, vehicles would have access to covered parking on the ground floor and the two basement levels. The Project would include approximately 239 total physical parking spaces as well as approximately 50-60 valet parking spaces. Out of the 239 total parking spaces, approximately 36 spaces would include electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The Project would also include a truck loading area along South B Street. The Project would also retain some existing uncovered surface parking spaces along East 4th Avenue and South Ellsworth Avenue.
The Project would also include bicycle storage rooms with capacity for 21 bikes and additional bike racks for 17 bikes. Pedestrian access to the ground floor of the proposed building would be provided via several entrances along East 4th Avenue, South B Street, and South Ellsworth Avenue.
Landscaping and Trees
There is one existing tree on-site and 38 street trees located around the perimeter of the Project Site. The Project would remove all 39 existing trees, none of which are considered Heritage Trees under the City’s Protected Trees Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 13.40). The Project would plant approximately 37 new trees, resulting in a net decrease of two trees on-site. Landscaping would be provided around the perimeter of the proposed building, in the community open space, along the third-floor terrace, and along portions of the perimeter of the rooftop.
Off-Site Improvements
Off-site improvements include the following:
Remove and replace curb, gutter, sidewalk, curb extensions, and ADA curb ramps along all frontages.
Curb to curb pavement restoration (grind & overlay) and striping along all frontages including intersections.
Street lighting along all frontages.
Bike lane improvement along B street.
Landscaping including, tree wells, street trees and Green Infrastructure along frontages. New 18” Storm Drain line installation along B, Ellsworth and portion of 4th and 5th Avenue. Utility connection
Possible signal improvement
Green Building Measures
The Project would be designed for energy efficiency and water conservation in accordance with the 2019 California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen). This includes mandatory installation of electric 502 of 1252

vehicle charging stations, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and low-water use landscaping. In addition, photovoltaic panels would be installed on the rooftop. The Project would conform to the City’s Reach Code (Municipal Code Chapter 23.24), which requires new mixed-use buildings to be all-electric (no natural gas infrastructure).
Construction
It is anticipated that the Project would be constructed over an approximate 20-month period. It is estimated that construction of the Project would require the export of approximately 25,828 cubic yards of soil material. Construction equipment would be staged on the Project Site, as necessary. Construction hours in the City of San Mateo are between 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays, and 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sundays and holidays. 503 of 1252

2.0 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
2.1 Greenhouse Gas Setting
Certain gases in the earth’s atmosphere, classified as GHGs, play a critical role in determining the earth’s surface temperature. Solar radiation enters the earth’s atmosphere from space. A portion of the radiation is absorbed by the earth’s surface and a smaller portion of this radiation is reflected back toward space.
This absorbed radiation is then emitted from the earth as low-frequency infrared radiation. The frequencies at which bodies emit radiation are proportional to temperature. Because the earth has a much lower temperature than the sun, it emits lower-frequency radiation. Most solar radiation passes through GHGs; however, infrared radiation is absorbed by these gases. As a result, radiation that otherwise would have escaped back into space is instead trapped, resulting in a warming of the atmosphere. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, is responsible for maintaining a habitable climate on earth. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would not be able to support life as we know it.
Prominent GHGs contributing to the greenhouse effect are CO2, methane (CH4), and N2O. Fluorinated gases also make up a small fraction of the GHGs that contribute to climate change. Fluorinated gases include chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride; however, it is noted that these gases are not associated with typical land use development.
Human-caused emissions of these GHGs in excess of natural ambient concentrations are believed to be responsible for intensifying the greenhouse effect and leading to a trend of unnatural warming of the earth’s climate, known as global climate change or global warming. It is “extremely likely” that more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010 was caused by the anthropogenic increase in GHG concentrations and other anthropogenic factors together (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] 2014).
Table 3-1 describes the primary GHGs attributed to global climate change, including their physical properties, primary sources, and contributions to the greenhouse effect.
Each GHG differs in its ability to absorb heat in the atmosphere based on the lifetime, or persistence, of the gas molecule in the atmosphere. CH4 traps over 25 times more heat per molecule than CO2, and N2O absorbs 298 times more heat per molecule than CO2 (IPCC 2014). Often, estimates of GHG emissions are presented in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), which weight each gas by its global warming potential.
Expressing GHG emissions in CO2e takes the contribution of all GHG emissions to the greenhouse effect and converts them to a single unit equivalent to the effect that would occur if only CO2 were being emitted.
Climate change is a global problem. GHGs are global pollutants, unlike criteria air pollutants and TACs, which are pollutants of regional and local concern. Whereas pollutants with localized air quality effects have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes (about one day), GHGs have long atmospheric lifetimes (one to several thousand years). GHGs persist in the atmosphere for long enough time periods to be dispersed around the globe. Although the exact lifetime of any particular GHG molecule is dependent on multiple variables and cannot be pinpointed, it is understood that more CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere than is sequestered by ocean uptake, vegetation, or other forms. Of the total annual human-caused CO2 504 of 1252

emissions, approximately 55 percent is sequestered through ocean and land uptakes every year, averaged over the last 50 years, whereas the remaining 45 percent of human-caused CO2 emissions remains stored in the atmosphere (IPCC 2013).
Table 3-1. Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse Gas Description
CO2 Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas. CO2 is emitted in a number of ways, both naturally and through human activities. The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas in power plants, automobiles, industrial facilities, and other sources. A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production, metal production, and the use of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions. The atmospheric lifetime of CO2 is variable because it is so readily exchanged in the atmosphere.1 CH4 Methane is a colorless, odorless gas and is the major component of natural gas, about 87 percent by volume. It is also formed and released to the atmosphere by biological processes occurring in anaerobic environments. Methane is emitted from a variety of both human-related and natural sources. Human-related sources include fossil fuel production, animal husbandry (intestinal fermentation in livestock and manure management), rice cultivation, biomass burning, and waste management. These activities release significant quantities of CH4 to the atmosphere. Natural sources of CH4 include wetlands, gas hydrates, permafrost, termites, oceans, freshwater bodies, non-wetland soils, and other sources such as wildfires. The atmospheric lifetime of CH4 is about12 years.2
N2O Nitrous oxide is a clear, colorless gas with a slightly sweet odor. Nitrous oxide is produced by both natural and human-related sources. Primary human-related sources of N2O are agricultural soil management, animal manure management, sewage treatment, mobile and stationary combustion of fossil fuels, adipic acid production, and nitric acid production. N2O is also produced naturally from a wide variety of biological sources in soil and water, particularly microbial action in wet tropical forests. The atmospheric lifetime of N2O is approximately 120 years.3

The quantity of GHGs that it takes to ultimately result in climate change is not precisely known; it is sufficient to say the quantity is enormous, and no single project alone would measurably contribute to a noticeable incremental change in the global average temperature or to global, local, or microclimates.
From the standpoint of CEQA, GHG impacts to global climate change are inherently cumulative.
2.1.1 Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In 2021, CARB released the 2021 edition of the California GHG inventory covering calendar year 2019 emissions. In 2019, California emitted 418.2 million gross metric tons of CO2e including from imported electricity. Combustion of fossil fuel in the transportation sector was the single largest source of California’s GHG emissions in 2019, accounting for approximately 40 percent of total GHG emissions in the State. When emissions from extracting, refining and moving transportation fuels in California are included, transportation is responsible for over 50 percent of statewide emissions in 2019. Continuing the downward trend from 2018, transportation emissions decreased 3.5 million metric tons of CO2e in 2019, 505 of 1252

only being outpaced by electricity, which reduced emissions by 4.3 million metric tons of CO2e in 2019.
Emissions from the electricity sector account for 14 percent of the inventory and have shown a substantial decrease in 2019 due to increases in renewables. California’s industrial sector accounts for the second largest source of the State’s GHG emissions in 2019, accounting for 21 percent (CARB 2021).
2.2 Regulatory Framework
2.2.1 State
2.2.1.1 Executive Orders S-3-05 and B-30-15
Executive Order (EO) S-3-05, signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2005, proclaims that California is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. It declares that increased temperatures could reduce the Sierra Nevada snowpack, further exacerbate California’s air quality problems, and potentially cause a rise in sea levels. To combat those concerns, the EO established total GHG emission targets for the State. Specifically, emissions are to be reduced to the 2000 level by 2010, the 1990 level by 2020, and to 80 percent below the 1990 level by 2050.
On April 20, 2015 Governor Brown signed EO B-30-15 to establish a California GHG reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The Governor’s executive order aligns California’s GHG reduction targets with those of leading international governments such as the European Union, which adopted the same target in October 2014. California’s new emission reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 will make it possible to reach the ultimate goal of reducing emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. This is in line with the scientifically established levels needed in the U.S. to limit global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, the warming threshold at which major climate disruptions are projected, such as super droughts and rising sea levels.
2.2.1.2 Assembly Bill 32 Climate Change Scoping Plan and Updates In 2006, the California legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 32 (Health and Safety Code § 38500 et seq., or AB 32), also known as the Global Warming Solutions Act. AB 32 required CARB to design and implement feasible and cost-effective emission limits, regulations, and other measures, such that statewide GHG emissions are reduced to 1990 levels by 2020 (representing a 25 percent reduction in emissions). Pursuant to AB 32, CARB adopted a Scoping Plan in December 2008, which outlined measures to meet the 2020 GHG reduction goals. California exceeded the target of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2017.
The Scoping Plan is required by AB 32 to be updated at least every five years. The latest update, the 2017 Scoping Plan Update, addresses the 2030 target established by Senate Bill (SB) 32 as discussed below and establishes a proposed framework of action for California to meet a 40 percent reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The key programs that the Scoping Plan Update builds on include increasing the use of renewable energy in the State, the Cap-and-Trade Regulation, the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and reduction of methane emissions from agricultural and other wastes. 506 of 1252

2.2.1.3 Senate Bill 32 and Assembly Bill 197 of 2016
In August 2016, Governor Brown signed SB 32 and AB 197, which serve to extend California’s GHG reduction programs beyond 2020. SB 32 amended the Health and Safety Code to include § 38566, which contains language to authorize CARB to achieve a statewide GHG emission reduction of at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by no later than December 31, 2030. SB 32 codified the targets established by EO B-30-15 for 2030, which set the next interim step in the State’s continuing efforts to pursue the longterm target expressed in EOs S-3-05 and B-30-15 of 80 percent below 1990 emissions levels by 2050.
2.2.1.4 Senate Bill 100 of 2018
In 2018, SB 100 was signed by Governor Brown, codifying a goal of 60 percent renewable procurement by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045 Renewables Portfolio Standard.
2.2.1.5 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings
The Building and Efficiency Standards (Energy Standards) were first adopted and put into effect in 1978 and have been updated periodically in the intervening years. These standards are a unique California asset that have placed the State on the forefront of energy efficiency, sustainability, energy independence and climate change issues. The 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards improve upon the 2016 Energy Standards for new construction of, and additions and alterations to, residential and nonresidential buildings. The 2019 update to the Building Energy Efficiency Standards focuses on several key areas to improve the energy efficiency of newly constructed buildings and additions and alterations to existing buildings. The 2019 standards are a major step toward meeting Zero Net Energy. The most significant efficiency improvement to the residential Standards include the introduction of photovoltaic into the perspective package, improvements for attics, walls, water heating and lighting. Buildings permitted on or after January 1, 2020, must comply with the 2019 Standards.
In 2008, the California Building Standards Commission adopted the nation’s first green building standards.
The California Green Building Standards Code (Part 11 of Title 24) is commonly referred to as CalGreen Building Standard (CalGreen) and establishes voluntary and mandatory standards pertaining to the planning and design of sustainable site development, energy efficiency, water conservation, material conservation, and interior air quality. Like Part 6 of Title 24, the CalGreen standards are periodically updated, with increasing energy savings and efficiencies associated with each code update. CalGreen contains voluntary "Tier 1" and "Tier 2" standards that are not mandatory statewide but could be required by a City or County. These are 'reach' standards that can be adopted by local jurisdictions and may be incorporated as mandatory standards in future code cycles. 507 of 1252

2.2.2 Local
2.2.2.1 Bay Area Air Quality Management District
To provide guidance to local lead agencies on determining significance for GHG emissions in CEQA documents, BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines include guidance on assessing GHGs and climate change impacts as required under CEQA Section 15183.5(b). On April 20, 2022, the Draft Justification Report: CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects and Plans (2022) was adopted. This document presents a project-level operational threshold of significance for GHG emissions based on compliance with a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy or adherence to a suite of BAAQMD performance standards for land uses projects directly related to building design, transportation and consistency with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b).
2.2.2.2 The City of San Mateo (City) Climate Action Plan The City adopted an updated CAP in April 2020, which updates and consolidated the various City’s GHG reduction efforts based on the vision of San Mateo residents, businesses, and local government. The CAP provides the framework for San Mateo to reduce its community-wide GHG emissions in a manner consistent with state reduction targets and goals for 2030 and 2050. The CAP was prepared consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for Plans for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (CCR 15183.5). This allows the 2020 CAP to support (and possibly streamline) environmental review of GHG emissions related to future development projects within the City. The 2020 CAP is a direct update to the 2015 CAP. The 2020 CAP analyzes San Mateo’s progress to date in meeting its GHG reduction targets and contains new information to achieve more significant and longer-term GHG reductions.
A CAP is a comprehensive strategy for a community to reduce emissions of GHGs, which, according to scientific consensus, are primarily responsible for causing climate change. The CAP identifies a strategy, reduction measures, and implementation actions the City will use to achieve targets consistent with state recommendations of 4.3 metric tons of CO2e (MTCO2e) per person by 2030 and 1.2 MTCO2e per person by 2050. The City CAP includes five key pieces:
1. An inventory of the annual GHG emissions attributable to San Mateo based on the types of activities occurring within the community and guidance from various protocols and agencies.
2. A forecast of what GHG emissions are likely to look like in 2030 and 2050 based on expected population and economic growth as predicted in the City’s General Plan; with the consideration of major CO2e emission reduction policies.
3. A reduction target, which identifies goals for reducing GHG emissions by 2030 and 2050.
4. Reduction strategies, which describe the actions the community intends to take to achieve the reduction target. Each strategy identifies the amount of GHGs that will be reduced once the strategy is implemented. The CAP also estimates benefits of existing programs. 508 of 1252

5. An implementation and monitoring program to track progress toward the reduction target and the status of the reduction strategies. A CAP consistency checklist for future development projects is included in the implementation program.
2.2.2.3 City CAP Consistency Checklist
As part of the CAP, the City developed a CAP consistency checklist for land use projects. The checklist is a streamlined tool that identifies the CAP’s mandatory requirements and provides an opportunity for project applicants to demonstrate project consistency with GHG reduction measures and actions in the CAP. The checklist identifies a general development class and the strategies which must be implemented for the Project to be compliant with the CAP. The checklist is also an opportunity to identify additional Project characteristics that support the GHG reduction targets and programs in the CAP. If a project does not comply with the applicable mandatory GHG reduction measures, mitigation measures must be implemented to require compliance.
2.3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact Assessment
2.3.1 Thresholds of Significance
The impact analysis provided below is based on the following CEQA Guidelines Appendix G thresholds of significance. The Project would result in a significant impact to GHG emissions if it would:
1) Generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.
2) Conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases or
The Appendix G thresholds for GHG emissions do not prescribe specific methodologies for performing an assessment, do not establish specific thresholds of significance, and do not mandate specific mitigation measures. Rather, the CEQA Guidelines emphasize the lead agency’s discretion to determine the appropriate methodologies and thresholds of significance consistent with the manner in which other impact areas are handled in CEQA. With respect to GHG emissions, the CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.4(a) states that lead agencies “shall make a good-faith effort, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data, to describe, calculate or estimate” GHG emissions resulting from a project. The CEQA Guidelines note that an agency has the discretion to either quantify a project’s GHG emissions or rely on a “qualitative analysis or other performance-based standards.” (14 CCR 15064.4(b)). A lead agency may use a “model or methodology” to estimate GHG emissions and has the discretion to select the model or methodology it considers “most appropriate to enable decision makers to intelligently take into account the project’s incremental contribution to climate change.” (14 CCR 15064.4(c)). Section 15064.4(b) provides that the lead agency should consider the following when determining the significance of impacts from GHG emissions on the environment:
1. The extent a project may increase or reduce GHG emissions as compared to the existing environmental setting.
509 of 1252
222 East 4th Avenue Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment ECORP Consulting, Inc.
222 East 4th Avenue Project
10 September 2022
2022-053
2. Whether the project emissions exceed a threshold of significance that the lead agency determines applies to the project.
3. The extent to which the project complies with regulations or requirements adopted to implement a statewide, regional, or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of GHG emissions (14 CCR 15064.4(b)).
In addition, Section 15064.7(c) of the CEQA Guidelines specifies that “[w]hen adopting or using thresholds of significance, a lead agency may consider thresholds of significance previously adopted or recommended by other public agencies, or recommended by experts, provided the decision of the lead agency to adopt such thresholds is supported by substantial evidence” (14 CCR 15064.7(c)). The CEQA Guidelines also clarify that the effects of GHG emissions are cumulative and should be analyzed in the context of CEQA’s requirements for cumulative impact analysis (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15130). As a note, the CEQA Guidelines were amended in response to Senate Bill 97. In particular, the CEQA Guidelines were amended to specify that compliance with a GHG emissions reduction plan renders a cumulative impact insignificant.
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h)(3), a project’s incremental contribution to a cumulative impact can be found not cumulatively considerable if the project would comply with an approved plan or mitigation program that provides specific requirements that would avoid or substantially lessen the cumulative problem within the geographic area of the project. To qualify, such plans or programs must be specified in law or adopted by the public agency with jurisdiction over the affected resources through a public review process to implement, interpret, or make specific the law enforced or administered by the public agency. Examples of such programs include a “water quality control plan, air quality attainment or maintenance plan, integrated waste management plan, habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plans [and] plans or regulations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.” Put another way, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h)(3) allows a lead agency to make a finding of less than significant for GHG emissions if a project complies with adopted programs, plans, policies and/or other regulatory strategies to reduce GHG emissions.
The local air quality agency regulating the SFBAAB is the BAAQMD, the regional air pollution control officer for the basin. As previously stated, BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines include guidance on assessing GHGs and climate change impacts as required under CEQA Section 15183.5(b) and establish thresholds of significance for impacts related to GHG emissions. The City has determined, in its discretion, that the BAAQMD recommended GHG significance thresholds are based on substantial evidence to “attribute an appropriate share of GHG reductions necessary to reach statewide reduction goals to new land use development projects in the BAAQMD’s jurisdiction that are evaluated pursuant to CEQA” (BAAQMD 2017a). Therefore, the City uses the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines to determine the level of impact from the project contributions of GHG emissions.
As previously described, BAAQMD’s Draft Justification Report: CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects and Plans presents a project-level operational threshold of significance for GHG emissions based on compliance with a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy or adherence to a suite of BAAQMD performance standards for land uses projects directly related 510 of 1252

to building design, transportation and consistency with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b). The City CAP is a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy. The 2020 City CAP is the most recent update after the 2015 CAP and is written to align with the goals of SB 32. The CAP addresses estimate emissions beyond 2020, as informed by the post-2020 GHG reduction targets of SB 32 and EO S-3-05. Specifically, the City set emission reduction goals of 15 percent below 2005 emissions levels by 2020, 4.3 MTCO2e per person by 2030, and 1.2 MTCO2e per person by 2050. Therefore, Project compliance with the CAP adequately establishes Project compliance with statewide GHG reduction goals for the year 2030 associated with SB 32, and with statewide GHG reduction goals for the years beyond 2030.
2.3.2 Methodology
Construction and operations of the Proposed Project are compared for consistency with the overall Citywide GHG-reduction program encapsulated in the City’s 2020 CAP. Emissions were modeled using CalEEMod, version 2020.4.0. CalEEMod is a statewide land use emissions computer model designed to quantify potential GHG emissions associated with both construction and operations from a variety of land use projects. Project construction generated GHG emissions were calculated using CalEEMod model defaults for San Mateo County. Operational GHG emissions were based on CalEEMod model defaults for San Mateo County coupled with land use data contained in the Project Site plans prepared by KSH Architects and Project traffic trip generation rates identified by Kittelson & Associates (2022). For the purposes of this analysis, projected operational emissions associated with proposed operations are compared to the existing baseline, an existing 60,965 square-foot supermarket.
2.3.3 Impact Analysis
Construction-related activities that would generate GHG emissions include worker commute trips, haul trucks carrying supplies and materials to and from the Project Site, and off-road construction equipment (e.g., dozers, loaders, excavators). Table 3-2 illustrates the specific construction generated GHG emissions that would result from construction of the Project. Once construction is complete, the generation of these GHG emissions would cease.

As shown in Table 3-2, Project construction would result in the generation of approximately 1,042 MTCO2e over the course of construction. Once construction is complete, the generation of these GHG emissions would cease. Furthermore, GHG emissions generated by the construction sector have been 511 of 1252

declining in recent years. For instance, construction equipment engine efficiency has continued to improve year after year. The first federal standards (Tier 1) for new off-road diesel engines were adopted in 1994 for engines over 50 horsepower (hp) and were phased in from 1996 to 2000. In 1996, a Statement of Principles pertaining to off-road diesel engines was signed between the USEPA, CARB, and engine makers (including Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Detroit Diesel, Deutz, Isuzu, Komatsu, Kubota, Mitsubishi, Navistar, New Holland, Wis-Con, and Yanmar). On August 27, 1998, the USEPA signed the final rule reflecting the provisions of the Statement of Principles. The 1998 regulation introduced Tier 1 standards for equipment under 50 hp and increasingly more stringent Tier 2 and Tier 3 standards for all equipment with phase-in schedules from 2000 to 2008. As a result, all off-road, diesel-fueled construction equipment manufactured in 2006 or later has been manufactured to Tier 3 standards. Tier 3 engine standards reduce precursor and subset GHG emissions such as nitrogen oxide by as much as 60 percent. On May 11, 2004, the USEPA signed the final rule introducing Tier 4 emission standards, which were phased in over the period of 2008-2015. The Tier 4 standards require that emissions of nitrogen oxide be further reduced by about 90 percent. All off-road, diesel-fueled construction equipment manufactured in 2015 or later will be manufactured to Tier 4 standards.
In addition, the California Energy Commission recently released the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards contained in the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6 (also known as the California Energy Code). Both the 2016 and 2019 updates to the Building Energy Efficiency Standards focus on several key areas to improve the energy efficiency of newly constructed buildings and additions, and alterations to existing buildings. For instance, effective January 1, 2017, owners/builders of construction projects have been required to divert (recycle) 65 percent of construction waste materials generated during the project construction phase. This requirement greatly reduces the generation of GHG emissions by reducing decomposition at landfills, which is a source of CH4, and reducing demand for natural resources.
Long-term operational GHG emissions attributable to the Project are identified in Table 3-3 512 of 1252

Baseline emissions account for the current use of natural gas appliances.
As shown in Table 3-3, there would be a decrease in operational GHG emissions over the existing baseline of 1,569 MTCO2e per year as a result of the Project.

2.3.3.1 Generation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Resulting in Conflicts with any Applicable Plan, Policy, or Regulation of an Agency Adopted for the Purpose of Reducing the Emissions of Greenhouse Gases
San Mateo Climate Action Plan
The City CAP (2020) is the most recent update to the prior 2015 City CAP. The CAP is a strategic planning document that identifies sources of GHG emissions within the city’s boundaries, presents current and future emissions estimates, identifies a GHG reduction target for future years, and presents strategic programs, policies, and projects to reduce emissions from the energy, transportation, land use, water use, and waste sectors. The CAP includes GHG reduction measures in the form of GHG reduction programs, policies, projects, and strategies. The BAAQMD Qualified Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Program criteria, in conjunction with the BAAQMD’s CEQA Guidelines (2017a), guided the development of the emissions reduction program developed by the City. All three guidelines comply with the requirements of statewide GHG-reduction targets and achieve the goals of the Scoping Plan.
A Qualified Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Program adopted by a local jurisdiction should include the elements below, as described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5. The BAAQMD’s CEQA Guidelines outline the methodology to determine whether a GHG reduction program meets these requirements. Quantify GHG emissions, both existing and projected over a specified time period, resulting from activities within a defined geographic area.
Establish a level, based on substantial evidence, below which the contribution to GHG emissions from activities covered by the plan would not be cumulatively considerable. Identify and analyze the GHG emissions resulting from specific actions or categories of actions anticipated within the geographic area.
Specify measures or a group of measures, including performance standards, which substantial evidence demonstrates, if implemented on a project-by-project basis, would collectively achieve the specified emissions level.
Establish a mechanism to monitor the plan’s progress toward achieving the level and to require amendment if the plan is not achieving specified levels. Be adopted in a public process following environmental review.
The City CAP meets BAAQMD guidelines as follows:
The CAP quantifies citywide GHG emissions, both existing and projected over the specified time period. The CAP projects emissions for the years 2020, 2030, and 2050 based on growth assumptions from the California Department of Finance and ABAG and were approved by City staff. Relative to 2017 emissions, San Mateo’s GHG emissions are expected to rise by more than 23 percent by 2050 if no action is taken.
The CAP establishes a level, based on substantial evidence, below which the contribution of emissions from activities covered by the plan would not be cumulatively considerable. 514 of 1252

The CAP policy provisions reduce emissions to 15 percent below 2005 emissions levels by 2020. The CAP policy provisions reduce emissions to 4.3 MTCO2e per person by 2030. The CAP policy provisions reduce emissions to 1.2 MTCO2e per person by 2050. The CAP identifies and analyzes the emissions resulting from specific actions or categories of actions anticipated within the City.
The CAP specifies measures or a group of measures, including performance standards. The CAP establishes a mechanism to monitor its progress toward achieving the level and to require amendment if the plan is not achieving specific levels.
The reduction measures contained in the CAP build on inventory results and key opportunities prioritized by City staff, members of the San Mateo Sustainability Commission, and members of the public. The CAP strategies consist of measures and actions that identify the steps the City will take to support reductions in GHG emissions. The City will achieve these reductions in GHG emissions through a mix of voluntary programs and new strategic standards. All standards presented in the CAP respond to the needs of development, avoiding unnecessary regulation, streamlining new development, and achieving more efficient use of resources.
The CAP specifically states, “A project-specific environmental document that relies on this CAP for its cumulative impact analysis must identify specific GHG reduction measures applicable to the project and demonstrate the project’s incorporation of the measures. Project applicants and City staff will identify specific measures applicable to each project during project review. If applicable measures are not otherwise binding and enforceable, they must be incorporated as mitigation measures for the project.” A specific project proposal is considered consistent with the City CAP if it complies with the “required” GHG reduction measures in the adopted CAP. The required GHG reduction measures applicable to the Proposed Project, which the Project would comply with, include the following:
Reduction Measure BE 1: All new development: The project does not have natural gas connections, and does not have any natural gas appliance or other equipment installed. The Project does not have any natural gas connections and no natural gas appliances installed. The Project would conform to the City’s Reach Code (Municipal Code Chapter 23.24), which also requires new mixed-use buildings to be all-electric (no natural gas infrastructure).
Reduction Measure RE 2: All new developments with residential units: The project includes an on-site renewable energy system that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of the California State Building Code: The Project is required, per California state law, to meet the minimum requirements of the 2019 California State Building Code for Project approval. In addition, Section
23.24.030 of the City Municipal Code states “New residential buildings four stories or more shall provide a minimum of a 3-kilowatt photovoltaic system”. The proposed building included in the Project would be required to comply with this provision of the Municipal Code. As described in the Planning Application for the Proposed Project, the roof will contain 1,000 square feet of 5 kilowatt solar panels.
Reduction Measure EE 3: All new developments with residential units: The project includes trees that provide shade to residences: Landscaping would be provided around the perimeter of the 515 of 1252

proposed building, in the community open space, along the third-floor terrace, and along portions of the perimeter of the rooftop.
Reduction Measure CF 1(a): All new development with dedicated offstreet parking: The project includes parking spaces with installed EV chargers or are pre-wired for EV chargers, consistent with state and any local regulations: Out of the 239 total Project parking spaces, approximately 36 spaces would include electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
Reduction Measure ST 6: New developments of at least six multifamily units and/or 10,000 square feet of nonresidential space- Implement TDM strategies to comply with the appropriate trip reduction target identified in applicable area plans and San Mateo Citywide TDM Plan: Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a combination of services, incentives, facilities, and actions that reduce single-occupant vehicle trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking demand, and air pollutants, including GHG emissions. The purpose of TDM is to promote more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities, and to ensure that new developments are designed to maximize the potential for sustainable transportation usage. A part of the TDM Plan, the Project is proposing bicycle storage rooms with capacity for 21 bikes and additional bike racks for 17 bikes.
Additionally, the Project Site is located approximately 65 feet from a samTrans bus stop located at the corner of South Ellsworth and East 4th Avenue. This accessibility to mass transit would result in fewer vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) compared to the statewide average and encourage walking and non-automotive forms of transportation, thus resulting in the reduction of, transportation-related emissions. Further, the Project is also located within easy access to numerous restaurants, markets, and other services in the vicinity of the Project Site. These services are conveniently located for future residents of the Proposed Project, which will further reduce the number of vehicle trips. Additionally, the Project Site would be located within an area surrounded by other offsite nonresidential and residential uses. The Project includes bike storage, which would encourage residents to bike rather than drive, when feasible. Lastly it is noted, as shown in Table 3-3, there would be a decrease in operational GHG emissions of 1,569 MTCO2e per year compared with the existing baseline.
Reduction Measure ST 7: All new development: Be located along El Camino Real, within one-half mile of any Caltrain station, or in the Rail Corridor Transit Oriented Development or Hillsdale Station Area Plan areas: The Project Site would be located less than one-half mile (0.3 mile) from the nearest Caltrain station (the San Mateo Station), located at 385 First Avenue.
Reduction Measure SW 1: All developments with multifamily units or nonresidential space: provide an area of sufficient space to store and allow access to a compost bin; the Project plans show access to composting.
Based on review of the Project Plans, the following applicable City CAP reduction measure requirements are not proposed by the Project:
WW 3: All new development: include a greywater system
All development in the City, including the Project, is required to adhere to all City-adopted policy provisions, including those contained in the adopted CAP. The Project applicant must complete a checklist 516 of 1252
222 East 4th Avenue Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment ECORP Consulting, Inc.
222 East 4th Avenue Project

to confirm consistency with the CAP to the satisfaction of City staff. The City ensures all provisions of the CAP are incorporated into projects and their permits through development review and applications of conditions of approval as applicable. The Proposed Project would not produce enough greywater internally to feasibly be required to construct the needed infrastructure in downtown San Mateo.
Therefore, the implementation of Reduction Measure WW 3 is considered infeasible for the Project until such time that the infrastructure for greywater exists in downtown San Mateo.
As demonstrated above, the Project does comply with all applicable and feasible reduction measures included in the CAP. As also demonstrated, there would be a decrease in operational GHG emissions of 1,569 MTCO2e per year compared with the existing baseline.
BAAQMD Plan 2017 Clean Air Plan
The 2017 Clean Air Plan (BAAQMD 2017b) provides a regional strategy to protect public health and protect the climate. The 2017 Clean Air Plan defines a vision for transitioning the region to a post-carbon economy needed to achieve ambitious GHG reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 and provides a regional climate protection strategy that will put the Bay Area on a pathway to achieve those GHG emissions reduction targets. The 2017 Clean Air Plan includes a wide range of control measures designed to reduce emissions of CH4 and other ‘super GHGs’ in the near term, and to decrease emissions of CO2 by reducing fossil-fuel combustion.
The 2017 Clean Air Plan includes a diverse range of control measures designed to decrease GHG emissions. Consistency of the Proposed Project with 2017 Clean Air Plan is demonstrated by assessing whether the Project supports all of the Project-applicable Clean Air Plan control measures for GHG emissions. The GHG-related control strategies of the Clean Air Plan include Mobile Source Measures, Transportation Control Measures and Energy and Climate Measures.
Note, the Land Use and Local Impact Measures of the 2017 Clean Air Plan address the exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants and is thereby not applicable to this impact discussion of GHG emissions. Additionally, the Stationary Source Measures in the Clean Air Plan such as those implemented to control emissions from metal melting facilities, cement kilns, refineries, and glass furnaces are not applicable to the Proposed Project.
Transportation and Mobile Source Control Measures
The BAAQMD identifies transportation and mobile source control measures as part of the Clean Air Plan to reduce emissions from these sources. The transportation control measures are designed to reduce emissions from motor vehicles by reducing vehicle trips and VMT in addition to vehicle idling and traffic congestion. The Proposed Project is consistent with the Clean Air Plan’s transportation and mobile source control measures in that it is the redevelopment of an existing urban environment. The Project is considered “infill development” as it proposes to redevelop a build-out property and enhance the physical design of the urban environment. Under Public Resources Code (PRC) section 21061.3, an “infill site” is defined as a site that “has been previously developed for qualified urban uses.” In turn, a “qualified urban use” is defined, pursuant to PRC section 21072, as “a residential, commercial, or public institutional, transit or transportation passenger facility, or retail use, or any combination of those uses.” Additionally, the 517 of 1252

222 East 4th Avenue Project

Project Site is located in an “urbanized area,” which is defined under PRC section 21071 as “an incorporated city” that meets the criteria of having a population of at least 100,000 persons.
The Proposed Project would be located in close proximity to the San Mateo Caltrain station, which is located less than 0.3 mile to the northwest of the site at 385 First Avenue. At this location, Caltrain provides for local, limited and Baby Bullet service. There are two bus stops in close proximity to the Project Site, one on East 4th Street and South Ellsworth Avenue and the other on East 4th Avenue and North Delaware Street. The public transit accessibility would result in fewer vehicle trips and VMT compared to the statewide average and encourage walking and non-automotive forms of transportation, thus resulting in the reduction of, or no increase in, transportation-related emissions. The Project would also provide short-term and long-term bike storage.
Pedestrian access to the Project Site would be provided via sidewalks along East 4th Avenue Street and South Ellsworth Avenue. The Proposed Project would provide convenient accessibility to nearby retail shops, markets, offices and more. These places of commerce and employment are conveniently located for the future residents of the Proposed Project to access via walking, biking, or a short vehicle trip, which will further reduce VMT.
These aspects of the Project would result in the generation of a reduced amount of GHG emissions.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), redevelopments (namely at brownfield sites such as the Project Site) produce 32 to 57 percent less emissions per capita relative to conventional developments (USEPA 2011); this is because the number of daily vehicle trips and daily VMT associated with the redevelopment tend to be lower compared with development on vacant land. As a result, the Proposed Project would not conflict with the identified transportation and mobile source control measures of the Clean Air Plan.
Land Use and Local Impact Measures
The BAAQMD Clean Air Plan includes Land Use and Local Impact Measures to ensure that planned growth is focused in a way that protects the people and environment from exposure of emissions associated with stationary and mobile sources and to promote mixed-use, compact development to reduce motor vehicle travel. The Land Use and Local Impact Measures identified by the BAAQMD are not specifically applicable to the Proposed Project as they relate to actions the BAAQMD will take to reduce impacts from goods movement and health risks in affected communities at the plan level. The measures also detail new regulatory actions the BAAQMD will undertake related to land use, including updates to the CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, and indirect source review.
However, the Proposed Project would be a redevelopment, infill Project in support of these measures. For instance, the Project can be identified for its “location efficiency.” Location efficiency describes the location of the Project relative to the type of urban landscape its proposed to fit within, such as an “urban area,” “compact infill,” or “suburban center.” The Project site represents an urban/compact infill location within an area of the city developed with residential and commercial uses. The Project site is served by existing public transportation as previously described; it is within an active urban center surrounded with many existing offsite office, commercial, and residential buildings. The Project would locate additional residential land uses in close proximity to existing offsite office, commercial, and residential uses. 518 of 1252

Therefore, the Project would provide future Project residents with the potential work opportunities and commercial service options within the Site and in close proximity to the Site. Additionally, the Project would locate potential employment opportunities for residents already living in the vicinity. The location efficiency of the Project site would result in synergistic benefits that would reduce vehicle trips and VMT compared to the statewide average and would result in corresponding reduction of transportation related GHG emissions.
The Project would increase housing density in the vicinity over current conditions. Increased density reduces emissions associated with transportation as it reduces the distance people travel for work or services and provides a foundation for the implementation of other strategies to reduce GHG emissions.
Energy and Climate Control Measures
The Clean Air Plan also includes Energy and Climate Control Measures, which are designed to reduce ambient concentrations of emissions of CO2. Implementation of these measures is intended to promote energy conservation and efficiency in buildings throughout the community, promote renewable forms of energy production, reduce the “urban heat island” effect by increasing reflectivity of roofs and parking lots, promote the planting of (low volatile organic compound-emitting) trees to reduce biogenic emissions, lower air temperatures, provide shade, and absorb air pollutants. The measures include voluntary approaches to reduce the heat-island effect by increasing shade in urban and suburban areas through the planting of trees. The Proposed Project would increase landscaping throughout the Project Site which would help reduce the urban heat-island effect.
The Project is consistent with the 2017 Clean Air Plan. The Proposed Project would conform to the Project-applicable control measures in the Clean Air Plan and would not disrupt or hinder the implementation of any other control measures.
ABAG Final Plan Bay Area 2050
ABAG’s Plan Bay Area is the RTP/SCS for the San Francisco Bay Area. Plan Bay Area establishes GHG emissions goals for automobiles and light-duty trucks, a potent source of GHG emissions attributable to land use development. As previously described, ABAG was tasked by CARB to achieve a 19 percent reduction of passenger car and light truck automotive GHG emissions by 2035 compared to 2005. Plan Bay Area 2050 establishes an overall mechanism to achieve these GHG targets for the Project region consistent with the target date of SB 32. According to ABAG, the San Francisco Bay Area will exceed the mandated GHG reduction target of 19 percent for 2035 by implementing Plan Bay Area.
The RTP/SCS contains thousands of individual transportation projects, including highway improvements, railway electrification, bicycle lanes, new transit hubs, and replacement bridges. These future investments seek to reduce traffic bottlenecks, improve the efficiency of the region’s network, and expand mobility choices. The RTP/SCS is an important planning document for the region, allowing project sponsors to qualify for federal funding. In addition, the RTP/SCS is supported by a combination of transportation and land use strategies that help the region achieve state GHG emission reduction goals and federal Clean Air Act requirements, preserve open space areas, improve public health and roadway safety, support the vital goods movement industry, and use resources more efficiently. 519 of 1252

Plan Bay Area 2050’s core strategy is “focused growth” in existing communities along the existing transportation network. This strategy allows the best “bang for the buck” in achieving key regional economic, environmental, and equity goals: it builds upon existing community characteristics, efficiently leverages existing infrastructure, and mitigates impacts on areas with less development. Plan Bay Area 2050’s Growth Geographies identify a mix of locally identified Priority Development Areas, areas near high quality transit and areas of high opportunity as communities poised to accommodate additional growth.
Priority Development Areas are defined as areas generally near existing job centers or frequent transit that are locally identified (i.e., identified by towns, cities or counties) for housing and job growth. Meanwhile, Plan Bay Area 2050 identifies areas outside of the existing urban footprint or in areas that are at a very high risk of wildfire as areas where additional construction should be deprioritized.
The Project Site is located in an area identified as the “San Mateo Downtown Priority Development Area” in Plan Bay Area 2050 (ABAG 2020). Therefore, Plan Bay Area 2050 considers the Project location to be included in an area near high-quality transit and within a communities poised to accommodate additional growth, and therefore encourages urban growth in the Project Area. Furthermore, the Project is proposed within a built environment (infill development). The Project will increase density and land use diversity in the vicinity over current conditions. Increased density, measured in terms of persons, jobs, or building square footage, as well as increased land use diversity, potentially reduces emissions associated with transportation as it reduces the distance people travel for work or services and provides a foundation for the implementation of other strategies such as enhanced transit services. The Project would increase the site density from 60,965 total square feet of retail space to 155,052 square-foot mixed use-residentialretail-office space.
For these reasons, the Project is consistent with Plan Bay Area. Based on the Project’s proximity to public transportation, availability of bike storage space and proximity to retail stores, it can be assumed that regional mobile emissions will decrease in line with the goals of Plan Bay Area with implementation of the Proposed Project. Implementing ABAG’s RTP/SCS will greatly reduce the regional GHG emissions from transportation, and the Proposed Project will not obstruct the achievement of Plan Bay Area’s emission reduction targets.

Appendix 3:
CAP Consistency
Checklist
The following checklist assists project applicants and City staff to determine whether a proposed project complies with the City of San Mateo CAP. The CAP is an implementation tool of the General Plan, demonstrating the City’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions consistent with Section 15183.5 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. New projects deemed consistent with the CAP are eligible for streamlining the analysis of GHG emissions. Projects inconsistent with the CAP may refer to this checklist for informational purposes but may have to submit a separate GHG analysis for the project. Examples of projects inconsistent with the City’s forecast include:
Stationary source emissions regulated by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. General Plan amendments.
New specific plans, amendments to specific plans, or new development agreements that would increase the population and nonresidential land use expectations beyond those anticipated in the General Plan buildout scenario.

1. INTRODUCTION
Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. (Geosyntec) completed this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the property located at 200-222 East 4th Avenue, San Mateo, California (the Site, Figure 1). This Phase I ESA was completed by Geosyntec for Lane Partners (hereafter referred to as “Lane” or “User”). It is our understanding that Lane is contemplating purchase of the Site.
This report documents the methods and findings of the Phase I ESA in general conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM International’s (ASTM) Standard E1527-13 (the Standard) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Standards and Practices for All Appropriate Inquiries (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 312). The purpose of the Phase I ESA is to identify recognized environmental conditions (RECs), historical recognized environmental conditions (HRECs), and/or controlled recognized environmental conditions (CRECs) at the Site and potential impacts from nearby facilities. For the purpose of this report, and as defined by the Standard, a REC is “… the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substance or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.” A HREC is “… a past release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that has occurred in connection with the property and has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or meeting unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the property to any required controls (for example, property use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls).” A CREC is a REC “… resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority (for example, as evidenced by the issuance of a no further action letter or equivalent, or meeting riskbased criteria established by regulatory authority), with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls (for example, property use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls).”
Specific conditions that were not considered to be within the scope of this work, as well as limitations and exceptions, are identified in Section 1.3 of this report.
1.1 Scope of Work
The scope of the Phase I ESA included:
• A review of the general Site setting and condition, including known information regarding the regional and local geologic and hydrologic conditions. • A review of information provided by the User. Copies of documents provided to Geosyntec by the User are included in Appendix A.
• A review of regulatory agency records to obtain information regarding environmental investigations on or near the Site. The records review included retaining the services 595 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 2 May 2, 2019
of a commercial database firm (Environmental Risk Information Services [ERIS]) to provide a listing of publicly documented environmental records for the Site and at nearby properties within a 1-mile radius. A copy of this report is included as Appendix B.
• A review of available public agency records for information regarding environmental permits, violations, or incidents, and/or the status of enforcement actions. Agencies contacted included the following:
San Mateo County Environmental Health Department;
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) – Region 2; San Mateo Fire Department – Fire Prevention;
Cal Fire – Office of the State Fire Marshall;
City of San Mateo Public Works Department;
City of San Mateo Building Department;
Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD);
Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) – Bay Area Region; EPA Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database; State of California Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) website;
State of California, DTSC, EnviroStor Database;
State of California, State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), GeoTracker Database; and
Copies of relevant documents obtained from agency files are included in Appendix C.
• A review of historical records for the Site and nearby facilities to assess potential for environmental impairment. Historical records reviewed included historical aerial photographs, historical topographic maps, historical Sanborn Fire Insurance maps (if available), and historical city directory files. Copies of these historical records are included in Appendices D through G.
• Performance of a Site reconnaissance to observe general conditions at the Site and adjacent properties as they relate to potential environmental impacts. The purpose of the reconnaissance was to identify, to the extent possible, current uses and improvements of the Site, past uses of the Site, current uses of adjacent properties, and evidence of existing and historical hazardous materials use, disposal, storage, and releases on the Site and/or adjacent properties. Photographs representative of Site conditions at the time of the reconnaissance are presented in Appendix H and the property assessment questionnaire completed by the property owner is included in Appendix I.

Draft Phase I ESA 3 May 2, 2019
• Preparation of this Phase I ESA report, which documents the above activities, our findings and opinions as they pertain to the identification of RECs, and data gaps.
1.2 Significant Assumptions
While this report provides an overview of potential environmental conditions both past and present, this Phase I ESA is limited by the availability of information at the time of the assessment. The conclusions and recommendations regarding environmental conditions presented in this report are based on observed conditions during the time of the Site reconnaissance and on information gathered during interviews, review of agency records, and execution of the scope of work previously described.
1.3 Limitations and Exceptions
This Phase I ESA is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for RECs, HRECs, and CRECs to be present at the Site. Not every property warrants the same level of assessment. Consistent with good commercial or customary practice, the appropriate level of assessment was guided by the type of property subject to assessment and the information developed in the course of inquiry.
Additional services considered optional by the Standard, such as asbestos-containing building materials, biological agents, cultural and historic resources, ecological resources, endangered species, health and safety, industrial hygiene, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, mold, radon, and wetlands were not included in the scope of work.
The findings and conclusions presented in this Phase I ESA are the result of professional interpretation of the information collected at the time of this study. This Phase I ESA was not an exhaustive search of all available records. Geosyntec cannot “certify” or guarantee that any property is free of environmental impairment; no warranties regarding the environmental quality of the property are expressed or implied. Specific limitations to our conclusions as a result of information gaps or incomplete information are documented in Section 8.5.
The findings of this report, to the best of our knowledge, are valid as of the date of this report.
However, changes in the conditions of a property can occur with the passage of time, whether due to natural processes or the works of man on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate regulations and standards may occur, whether they result from legislation, from the broadening of knowledge, or from other reasons. Per the Standard, a Phase I ESA completed less than 180 days prior to the date of acquisition of the Site is presumed valid.
A Phase I ESA for which the information was collected or updated within one year of the date of acquisition of the Site may be used, provided that the report is updated within 180 days of the date of purchase or intended transaction. Per the Standard, if a Phase I ESA or Phase I ESA Update is not completed within 12 months of the information collected, a new Phase I ESA is required.
Specified information contained in this report has been obtained from publicly available sources and other secondary sources of information. Although care has been taken in compiling this information, Geosyntec disclaims any and all liability for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies of the third parties in such information and data.

2. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
2.1 Location and Legal Description
The Site is located at 200-222 East 4th Avenue in San Mateo, California (Figure 1). Topographic map coverage of the Site and vicinity is provided by the United States Geologic Survey (USGS),
7.5-Minute, San Mateo Quadrangle (USGS, 2015). The Site consists of an approximately 65,608 square-foot multi-story building on 1.14 acres of land and is referenced in the San Mateo County Assessor’s records as Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 034-176-090, 034-176-080, 034-176- 070, and 034-176-050.
2.2 Site and Vicinity General Characteristics
2.2.1 General Site Setting
According to the 2015 USGS topographic map (USGS, 2015), the Site has an elevation of approximately 33 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Site and surrounding areas are relatively flat, sloping to the north-northwest. The Site is bordered by South B Street to the west, East 4th Avenue to the north, South Ellsworth Avenue to the east, and East 5th Avenue to the south (Figure 2). The surrounding area consists of high-density residential buildings and commercial businesses. Historically the Site has contained residences, gasoline service stations, and a department store.
2.2.2 Regional Geology and Hydrogeology
The Site is located in the San Mateo Groundwater Subbasin (Department of Water Resources [DWR], 2004). The subbasin occupies a structural trough, sub-parallel to the northwest trending Coast Ranges, at the southwest end of San Francisco Bay. San Francisco Bay constitutes its eastern boundary. The Santa Cruz Mountains form the western margin of the basin. The Department of Water Resources Bulletin 118 (updated in 2004) indicates that the water-bearing formations of the subbasin are comprised of two groups: the Santa Clara Formation and the Quaternary age alluvial deposits (DWR, 2004). The Quaternary alluvium constitutes the most important water-bearing formation of this basin and larger yielding wells acquire their water from it. Groundwater flow in the area is generally toward San Francisco Bay.
2.2.3 Site Geology and Hydrogeology
The soil beneath the Site is classified as Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits (ERIS, 2018).
The ERIS report indicated the soils below the Site as “Urban Land;” no other information was reported. According to files reviewed for the Site, depth to groundwater is approximately 30 feet below ground surface (bgs) with a flow direction to the northeast toward the San Francisco Bay (Erler & Kalinowski, Inc. [EKI], 1996). According to files reviewed for neighboring sites, depth to groundwater in the Site vicinity in 2017 was approximately 16 feet bgs with a groundwater flow direction to the east (Antea Group, 2018).
2.3 Current Use of the Site and Adjoining Parcels
The Site is located in the downtown area of San Mateo at the intersection of South B Street and East 4th Avenue. The multi-story building at the Site was constructed in 1996-1997 and includes 599 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 6 May 2, 2019
a basement and two floors above the ground level. The building is approximately 65,608 square feet (ft2) in total. Since 1997, the facility has operated as grocery retail store and a restaurant.
Figure 2 shows the layout of the Site at the time of Geosyntec’s Site reconnaissance on April 8, 2019. The parcel maps from the City of San Mateo and San Mateo County Property Maps Portal are included in Appendix C.
The Site vicinity and adjoining properties have been developed with residential and commercial/industrial facilities since the late 1890s. Adjacent properties included:
• North – East 4th Avenue and commercial properties, including: restaurants, a beauty salon, a bakery, a parking garage, and a retail cell phone location. • South – East 5th Avenue and a multi-story residential building. • East – South Ellsworth Avenue and commercial properties, including: restaurants, a barber shop, a beauty salon, a bicycle shop, and a toy shop. • West – South B Street and commercial properties, including: a beauty salon, a dry-cleaner store front (no cleaning is done at this property), and a restaurant.
The adjacent properties were observed from vantage points along the perimeter of the Site during the Site reconnaissance. The purpose of these observations was to attempt to identify sources of potential environmental impairment near the Site that could represent potential threats to the Site due to surface water runoff, groundwater transport, or other contaminant transport pathways.
These observations are discussed in Section 6 of this report. 600 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 7 May 2, 2019
3. USER-PROVIDED INFORMATION
In accordance with the Standard, Geosyntec requested that the User of the Phase I ESA provide information that would assist in identifying the possibility of RECs in connection with the Site.
3.1 Title Records
The User provided Geosyntec with a copy of the title record dated February 14, 2019 from First American Title Insurance Company National Commercial Services. Review of the title record did not identify deed restrictions or land use covenants recorded for the Site.
3.2 Environmental Liens or Activity and Use Limitations The User did not indicate to Geosyntec if they were aware of any environmental liens or activity and use limitations associated with the Site as they are defined by the Standard.
3.3 Specialized Knowledge
The User did not indicate any specialized knowledge in relation to the Site or vicinity.
3.4 Commonly Known or Reasonably Ascertainable Information The User did not indicate that they had any commonly known or reasonably ascertainable information regarding the Site.
3.5 Valuation Reduction for Environmental Issues
The User did not provide Site property value information.
3.6 Reason for Performing This Phase I ESA
The User indicated this Phase I ESA is being completed as part of their due diligence for a potential purchase of the property.
3.7 User Provided Documentation
The User provided a number of documents for the Site, including as-built drawings, the title report, and the ground lease for the Site building, a Phase I ESA prepared for the Site in 1998 (EKI, 1998), a Closure Report for excavation of petroleum-affected soils (EKI, 1996), and a case closure confirmation letter from the County of San Mateo (County of San Mateo Health Service Agency [CSMHSA], 1997). Copies of these documents are presented in Appendix A.
According to the previous 1998 Phase I ESA, the Site was occupied as early as 1888. Between 1888 and 1920, land use was residential. By 1929, Mohawk Oil gasoline service station was present on the north corner of the Site at East 4th Avenue and South B Street. By 1950, two auto repair/gasoline service stations were present, one in the north corner at East 4th Avenue and South B Street and one in the east corner at South B Street and East 5th Avenue. The Levy Brothers leased the Site in 1951, built a department store, and operated the business until 1985.
By 1969, the service station in the east corner at South B Street and East 5th Avenue had been replaced by a parking lot. By 1985, the service station in the north corner at East 4th Avenue and South B Street had been replaced by a paved parking lot. The Levy Brothers department store 601 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 8 May 2, 2019
building was vacant from 1985 until at least 1988. The report indicated that no changes were apparent at the Site between 1985 and 1995 (EKI, 1998).
Underground storage tanks (USTs) associated with the former gasoline service station at the north corner of the Site (East 4th Avenue and South B Street) were removed in 1988 (EKI, 1998).
Soil sampling conducted as part of the tank removals identified a low concentration of total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) at 60 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) in the area of the excavation. Approximately 335 tons of soil associated with UST removal activities were excavated. In 1993, one hydraulic lift associated with the former gasoline service station at the east corner of the Site (East 5th Avenue and South B Street) was removed. TPH concentrations were detected in soil around the excavation and approximately 20 cubic yards were removed (EKI, 1998).
Sampling performed at the Site in 1994 by EKI identified petroleum hydrocarbon impacts in soil and groundwater, as well as a detection of lead in one groundwater sample. EKI performed a Phase II ESA in 1995. Results from sampling activities identified low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil and water samples (EKI, 1998).
In 1996, the Levy Brothers Department Store was demolished and construction began on the Draeger’s Market building. Construction activities included the excavation of soil for the subterranean parking structure, which included excavating the majority of the parcel. Petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soils were encountered in the north corner of the Site (East 4th Avenue and South B Street) during excavation for the below-grade parking structure. The petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil was excavated and confirmation sampling did not identify the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil that would warrant further investigative or remedial actions. In addition, no petroleum hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified in groundwater at the Site (EKI, 1998).
CSMHSA issued a closure letter in 1997 stating that the site investigation for the impacted surface soils from past operations at the Site is complete. Based on available information, including current land use, no further action related to the surface soils is required (CSMHSA, 1997).

4. RECORDS REVIEW
4.1 Standard Environmental Records Database Search
In accordance with the Standard, Geosyntec reviewed applicable and reasonably accessible federal, state, and local records as part of this Phase I ESA. The environmental records review was performed in the form of an environmental database search by ERIS, in an attempt to ascertain whether the Site or neighboring properties were suspected of having environmental conditions with the potential to impact (or that have impacted) the soil, soil gas, and/or groundwater at the Site. The database search includes regulatory agency lists of known or potential hazardous waste facilities, landfills, hazardous waste generators, and disposal facilities in addition to properties under investigation. The information provided in this report was obtained from publicly available sources. The locations of the properties listed in this report are plotted with a geographic information system (GIS) utilizing geocoding of property addresses.
Specific records and search distances for these environmental databases were reported by ERIS to be consistent with the Standard and are discussed in the ERIS report (dated March 29, 2019); this report is presented as Appendix B.
4.2 Environmental Records Search Results
The complete list of properties that ERIS has identified is included in the report in Appendix B.
A total of 234 facilities are listed in at least one of the databases searched. A summary of properties within 0.25 mile of the Site and located hydraulically upgradient or cross-gradient from the Site is provided below in Table 1.
The Site vicinity has been densely developed with residential and commercial/industrial facilities since the late 1890s and available regulatory databases reviewed to date indicate several releases of VOCs, petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, and other hazardous substances to soil and groundwater from nearby facilities. ERIS’s search of available “reasonably ascertainable” government records found numerous listings, including the Site address, within the ASTMspecified search distances in the sub-sections that follow.
According to ERIS, the Site is listed in the following databases:
• California Environmental Reporting System Hazardous Waste Sites (CERS HAZ); • San Mateo Certified Unified Program Agency (SANMATEO CUPA); • Facility Registry Service/Facility Index (FINDS/FRS); • Hazardous Waste Manifest Data (HAZNET);
• RCRA Non-Generators (RCRA NON GEN);
• Delisted County Records (DELISTED COUNTY); and
• Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Reports (LUST).
603 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 10 May 2, 2019
These listings are related to recordkeeping violations, the releases from the USTs historically present on the Site, and the excavation and offsite disposal of contaminated soils. A summary of ERIS findings for the Site is presented in Table 1.
Geosyntec’s review of the ERIS information also identified five facilities within 0.25 mile of the Site with documented or potential releases of chemicals to soil and groundwater. These facilities are shown in Figure 3 and include:
• Wardrobe Cleaners/Park’s Wardrobe Cleaners, 333/335/344 E 4th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401: This facility is located approximately 200 feet to the northeast of the Site. Tetrachloroethene (PCE) was detected in groundwater downgradient of this facility at a fuel leak case lead which led to an investigation of dry-cleaning facilities nearby. Voluntary soil and groundwater sampling at the facility indicated detections of PCE and its breakdown products at concentrations above the RWQCB’s 2019 Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) (RWQCB, 2019). CSMHSA requested a work plan to evaluate the VOC concentrations in groundwater, soil, and soil vapor be submitted in early 2019. On March 29, 2019, CSS Environmental Services issued a work plan to collect and analyze soil vapor and groundwater samples at Wardrobe Cleaners. This facility is located downgradient to the Site with respect to groundwater flow direction; however, there is a potential that vapors from the VOCs associated with this facility may migrate and potentially pose a vapor encroachment condition at the Site. Based on the open status of the facility and distance from the Site, there is potential for this listing to have impacted the subsurface at the Site; therefore, this facility is considered a REC for the Site.
• Blue Ribbon Cleaners, 37 East 3rd Avenue and 22 2nd Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401:
This facility is located approximately 1,000 feet to southwest of the Site. This facility is listed in the ERIS report under the DRYCLEANERS database, but no additional information is provided. Based on the lack of documented spills and distance from the Site, this facility has low potential to have impacted the subsurface at the Site and is not considered a REC.
• A-1 Cleaners/New A-1 Cleaners/A 1 Cleaners, 17 East 4th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401: This facility is located approximately 965 feet to the southwest of the Site.
Investigation of a nearby gasoline release (402 South Delaware Street) indicates the source of the PCE and breakdown products discovered in soil and groundwater samples may have originated at this facility, located hydraulically-upgradient from the gasoline release case location. Several utilities nearby could act as a preferential pathway for contaminant migration. Historical review indicates that dry-cleaning operations using PCE were conducted at this facility from approximately 1987 to 2008. These findings suggest that this facility represents a potential source for PCE contamination in the neighborhood. CSMHSA requested voluntary soil and groundwater sampling in the vicinity of the facility to determine if the facility released PCE to soil and groundwater. It does not appear the facility has prepared a work plan to conduct soil and groundwater sampling since no other information is available on GeoTracker as of the date of preparation of this Phase I ESA. Based on the lack of information regarding contamination in the subsurface at this property and 604 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 11 May 2, 2019
the location hydraulically upgradient of the Site, this facility may impact the subsurface at the Site and is considered a REC for the Site. • R NU IT Cleaners, 200 East 2nd Avenue: This facility is located approximately 710 feet to the northwest of the Site. According to EnviroStor, this is an actively operating dry-cleaning facility in business since 1985. The business currently operates under the name of Y.S. One-Hour Martinizing. The cleanup status is listed as “Refer: Other Agency as of 7/29/1994.” No other information is available on EnviroStor. Based on the cross-gradient location of this facility with the respect to the groundwater flow direction, this facility is not considered a REC for the Site. • Sunrise Cleaners, 233 Baldwin Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94401: This facility is located approximately 1,600 feet to the northwest of the Site. Dry-cleaning operations at this facility began in the late 1960s and PCE was reportedly used as part of daily operations. No major violations or reports of releases or spills have been reported for this facility. The cleanup status is listed as “Refer: Other Agency as of 7/29/1994.” According to GeoTracker this facility is currently being remediated. Based on the cross-gradient location of this facility with the respect to the groundwater flow direction, this facility is not considered a REC for the Site. 605 of 1252

As part of this Phase I ESA, an aerial photograph review was conducted to help evaluate past uses of the Site, as well as adjoining properties. The ERIS Aerial Photographs provided Geosyntec with aerial photographs dated 1930, 1941, 1946, 1956, 1960, 1968, 1974, 1982, 1987, 1993, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016. A copy of the aerial photographs package obtained from ERIS is included as Appendix D to this report. The following sections describe conditions at the Site and surrounding areas over time based on aerial photograph interpretations and observations.
609 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 16 May 2, 2019
5.13.1.1 Site
From 1930, the Site appeared to be used for commercial and/or residential purposes. Several buildings and trees can be observed at the Site, including the gas station in the north corner at East 4th Avenue and South B Street.
By 1956, one large building and two gas stations are observed on the Site, one in the north corner and the second one in the south corner at East 5th Avenue and South B Street. By 1968, both gas stations appear to have been replaced with parking lots. The Site appears unchanged through 1993.
By 2005, the Site appears to have one large building occupying the majority of the Site. The building is assumed to be the current building at the Site. The Site appears to be relatively unchanged between 2005 and 2016, representing the current Site conditions at the time of the Site reconnaissance.
5.13.1.2 Surrounding Areas
From 1930, the surrounding area appeared to be commercial and residential with developed roads. The area southwest of the Site appears vegetated with grass and trees. A park appears to be located southwest of the Site. A creek appears to the north of the Site. A rail line is observed to run from northwest to southeast adjacent to the Site.
By 1941, the area south of the Site appears further developed with residential housing. The area north of the Site appears unchanged. The surrounding area in the 1947 aerial imagery appears unchanged.
By 1956, the surrounding area appears fully developed. The road and highway network are observed to be further developed. The neighboring parcel located directly northeast to the Site appears developed with additional structures, appearing to be used for commercial purposes. The 1960 aerial imagery is of poor quality and the surrounding area appears unchanged.
By 1968 and 1974, the area surrounding the Site appears to be developed with multi-story buildings for commercial and residential use. The appearance of these buildings can be observed in the surrounding area west of the Site.
From 1974 to 2016, the surrounding area appears mainly unchanged. Various surrounding buildings appear to have changed or undergone construction. No new buildings or significant changes to the surrounding area were observed from 1974 to 2016.
5.13.2 Historical Topographic Map Review
A historical topographic map review was conducted to evaluate past uses of the Site, as well as adjoining properties. The ERIS Historical Topographic Map Report provided Geosyntec with topographic maps (and target quadrangle) dated 1896, 1899, 1915, 1939, 1947, 1949, 1956, 1968, 1973, 1980, 1993, 1997, and 2015. A copy of the topographic map package is included as Appendix E to this report. The following sections describe conditions at the Site and surrounding areas over time based on topographic map interpretations and observations. 610 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 17 May 2, 2019
5.13.2.1 Site
From 1896 to 1915, the Site was depicted as developed land, with a few structures within the Site. During this period, the Site appears to remain unchanged.
The 1939, 1947, 1949, 1956, 1968, 1973, 1980, 1993, 1997, and 2015 topographic maps do not appear to contain building detail within the Site area. Since the topographic maps do not contain details on the Site, the conditions of the Site cannot be observed and concluded.
5.13.2.2 Surrounding Areas
In 1896, the area surrounding the Site appeared to be slightly developed with a basic local road network and small residential/commercial structures in the vicinity, primarily centered adjacent to the regional rail line. The rail line runs northwest to southeast adjacent to the Site. The City of Burlingame is depicted approximately 1.5 miles to the northwest of the Site and marshland approximately 0.75 mile to the northeast from the Site, which is within the City of San Mateo. A creek is observed approximately 1.5 miles to the southwest of the Site.
By 1939, United States Highway 101 (US-101) appears within 0.5 mile of the Site, to the northeast, running northwest to southeast. To the north, the marshland adjacent to the San Francisco Bay shoreline appears to have been filled in and developed, with roads extending throughout. Several schools and churches appear developed to the northwest of the Site. The rail line appears to be located to the east of the Site. The area approximately 1 mile southwest of the Site appears further developed with residential housing and a local road network.
By 1947, a station appears to the northeast of the Site. A hospital is located northwest of the Site.
The local gridded road network within the city of San Mateo has been developed further along the San Francisco Bay. Approximately 1.5 miles northeast of the Site, the area around Coyote Point has been developed further with buildings, a yacht harbor, and a municipal golf course. A toll road has been constructed to connect to the US-101. Approximately 1.25 miles from the Site, the Bay Meadows Airport and Bay Meadows Race Track is identified. The 1949 topographic map remains relatively unchanged.
By 1956, the exit to the City of San Mateo from US-101 has been upgraded to a clover-leaf structure, with more development shown along the expanded highway. The local road network has expanded further east and south of the Site. The College of San Mateo Campus has been further developed with additional buildings. A substation appears to the south of Cayote Point Yacht Harbor. The Bay Meadows Airport appears to have been developed into the County Fairgrounds.
By 1968, the California Route 92 (CA-92) has been expanded to the south of the Site. More development appears to have occurred along CA-92. The 1973 topographic map remains relatively unchanged.
By 1980, further development is shown along CA-92 and to the north of the Site, within 1.75 miles.
By 1993, the station to the east of the Site no longer appears on the topographic map. The vicinity remains relatively unchanged through 2015. No new buildings or significant changes to 611 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 18 May 2, 2019
the surrounding area were observed from 1993 to 2015; however, those topographic maps exclude building details.
5.13.3 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Review
A review of Sanborn® fire insurance maps was conducted to evaluate past uses of the Site and the adjacent area. The ERIS Fire Insurance Map Research Results provided Geosyntec with maps dated 1888, 1891, 1897, 1901, 1908, 1920, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1961, and 1969. A copy of the insurance map package is included in Appendix F to this report. The following sections describe conditions at the Site and the surrounding areas over time based on fire insurance map interpretations and observations.
5.13.3.1 Site
In 1888 and 1891, there appears to be several structures within the Site including five residential dwellings and four sheds.
In 1897, only one shed remains on the Site and it appears there is an outhouse. By 1901, there is one additional residential dwelling and additional structures on the Site. In 1908, the Site appears relatively unchanged. In 1920, one residential unit is no longer present on the Site.
In 1950, one residential unit is left at the Site and two gasoline service stations appear, one in the north corner at East 4th Avenue and South B Street and one in the south corner at East 5th Avenue and South B Street. In 1953, a parking lot and reinforced concrete steel yard appear to the west of the two gasoline service stations. In 1956, there are no residential units left at the Site. In 1969, the gasoline service station in the south corner at East 5th Avenue and South B Street has been replaced by a parking lot.
5.13.3.2 Surrounding Areas
In 1888, the area surrounding the Site appeared to be slightly developed with commercial and residential properties. The 1888 fire insurance map appears partially incomplete for the area south of 5th Avenue. Directly northwest of the Site is a church and a school. A railroad station/tracks are located directly northeast of the Site. In the general vicinity of the Site are saloons, restaurants, hotels, a library, a plumbing business, lumber yards, wood and coal yard, and a grocery store. The general vicinity remains unchanged through 1891.
The 1901 fire insurance map appears partially incomplete for the area south of 5th Avenue. In 1901, the general vicinity appears consistent with 1888 and 1891, with the exception of a light and power company located northeast to the Site and a drug store to the northwest.
The 1908 fire insurance map provides imagery for the area south of 5th Avenue; in the vicinity are residential units, private grounds, a skating rink, and a planing mill. The 1920 fire insurance map is poor quality and therefore inconclusive.
In 1950, the general vicinity appears to have been built up further with various residential (apartment buildings) and commercial properties. The neighboring building on the southeastern corner of South B Street and 4th Avenue is an auto service shop. The general vicinity includes a theatre, bowling alley, auto parking, auto sales and service shop, the Pacific Greyhound Stage Depot, a bank, post office, paint shop, and police station. 612 of 1252
Draft Phase I ESA 19 May 2, 2019
In 1953, the property adjacent to the Site on the east is occupied by a paint, glass, and wallpaper company. To the north of the Site, auto parking is located along 4th Avenue. The general vicinity otherwise appears unchanged.
In 1956, the area directly west of the Site along San Mateo Drive is further developed with commercial properties, inclusive of a parking lot. The general vicinity otherwise appears unchanged. No additional developments or significant changes to the surrounding area were observed from 1956 to 1969; however, some of the building details are obscured from view during those years.
5.13.4 City Directory Review
Historical City Directory listings were obtained from ERIS for the Site and adjoining properties.

Hazardous Substances or
Petroleum Products
Various small quantities of chemicals were observed in the subterranean parking garage, on the ground floor in the food preparation areas, in the loading dock area, and on the second floor. Chemicals were stored in open shelving units and cabinets. No staining was observed on the floor around the shelving units. Observed chemicals included janitorial supplies consisting of thinners (Klean Strip®, Sunny Side®, JASCO®), sealants (Flex Seal®, Henry Roof Leak Patch®, Through the Roof®), oils (WD40®), wood finishes/stains (Min-Wax Pre-Strain®, Dura Seal Polyurethane®, Tung Oil Finish®, Bruce Wood Cleaner®, Arbor Coat®), lubricants (Tri-Low Lubricant®), cleaners (Bravo Heavy Duty Low Odor Stripper®, Ultra High Speed Floor Finish®, Liquid Silver Pre-Soak®, Wrights Copper Cream®, Plain Mean Cleaner®, Sani-Blue®, Stero Clor®, Wiz®, Sani-Clean 2®, Magic Rinse SC®, Aqua Clear®, Neutral Floor Cleaner®, Goo Gone®) soaps, detergents, and paints.
Boxes of refrigerant (National Refrigerant 507®) were observed next to the refrigeration system on the second floor. Tanks observed in the system contain reserve refrigerant for times of high demand.
A back up emergency generator is present in the southwestern corner of the subterranean parking garage. The generator contains an aboveground diesel fuel tank used to power the generator. Universal waste (batteries and light bulbs) and hazardous waste are stored in designated areas in the loading dock near the compactors. A below-grade grease interceptor is located in the southeastern corner of the loading dock. Mr. Draeger indicated the grease interceptor collects grease from the kitchens located in the grocery store and restaurant and that it is pumped out monthly (Photographs 3, 4, 12, and 13, Appendix A).
Drums and Containers (>5
gallons)
There were no drums and containers greater than 5 gallons in volume observed at the Site.
Unidentified
Substances/Containers
There were no unidentified substances or containers observed during the Site walk.
Transformers A public utility-owned transformer is located on the western side of the building next to the ramp down to the parking garage. No labels regarding PCB content or staining at the base of the transformer was observed (Photograph 8, Appendix A).
Pools of Liquids No pools of liquid were observed at the Site.
Pits, Ponds, or Lagoons (onsite
and adjoining)
Stormwater from the loading dock area and parking garage ramp drain to a below-grade sand/oil separator and sump pump in the parking garage. The sand/oil separator is used to filter stormwater prior to discharge to the storm drain system. According to the as-built drawings, the sump pump lifts the water to a storm drain at the ground floor.
Stained Soil or Pavement Stained concrete was observed in multiple locations of the subterranean parking garage. The majority of the stains in the parking garage appear to be from oil drips from parked cars. White crust and staining on the walls of the basement appear to be associated with moisture. One stain on the ground in the parking garage appeared to be from releases during fire sprinkler system testing. (Photographs 15 and 16, Appendix A).
Stressed Vegetation No stressed vegetation was observed at the Site.
Solid Waste Solid waste is stored in the loading dock.

Wastewater or Storm Water
Discharge
There were many floor drains observed throughout the building, including all food preparation areas, the restrooms, and the loading dock. According to Mr. Draeger, all floor drains discharge to the municipal sewer. The grease interceptor is also connected to the municipal sewer.
The trench drains outside of both loading dock doors and at the base of the ramp to the subterranean parking garage direct stormwater to a below-grade sand/oil separator and sump pump in the parking garage. The sand/oil separator is used to filter stormwater prior to discharge to the storm drain system. According to Mr. Draeger, the sand/oil separator has not been pumped out. According to the as-built drawings, the sump pump lifts the water to a storm drain at the ground floor (Photographs 5, 9, 10, and 11, Appendix A).
Additionally, the parking area on the western portion of the Site is graded to drain stormwater into three storm drains, which reportedly direct stormwater to the municipal stormwater collection system. There are also municipal storm drains along East 5th Avenue and South B Street (Photograph 7, Appendix A).
Wells No wells were observed at the Site.

8. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
We have performed a Phase I ESA in conformance with the scope and limitations of the Standard of the Site located at 200-222 East 4th Avenue in San Mateo, California. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 8.5, Data Gaps, of this report.
8.1 Recognized Environmental Conditions
The findings revealed no evidence of RECs in connection with the Site, with the exception of the following:
• Potential Groundwater Impacts from Offsite Sources: A search by ERIS of environmental facilities within the recommended ASTM search radius of the Site resulted in the identification of offsite facilities that either have operations that use chlorinated solvents or have open remediation cases for chlorinated solvents (primarily PCE and its breakdown products) in the vicinity of the Site. This facility includes New A-1 Cleaners at 17 East 4th Avenue. This facility is located approximately 965 feet to the southwest of the Site. Review of documents indicates that dry-cleaning operations using PCE were conducted at this facility from approximately 1987 to 2008 and that PCE was detected in soil and groundwater during an investigation conducted near this facility. These findings suggest that this facility represents a potential source for PCE contamination in the neighborhood.
CSMHSA requested voluntary soil and groundwater sampling in the vicinity of the facility to determine if the facility released PCE to soil and groundwater. It does not appear the facility has prepared a work plan to conduct soil and groundwater sampling since no other information is available on GeoTracker as of the date of preparation of this Phase I ESA. Based on the lack of information regarding contamination in the subsurface at this property and the location hydraulically upgradient of the Site, the facility may impact the subsurface at the Site and is considered a REC for the Site.
• Vapor Encroachment Conditions at the Site: Based on review of files for Wardrobe Cleaners/Park’s Wardrobe Cleaners at 333/335/344 East 4th Avenue, located approximately 200 feet to the northeast of the Site, soil and groundwater sampling at the facility identified detections of PCE and its breakdown products at concentrations above the ESLs. CSMHSA requested a work plan to evaluate the VOC concentrations in groundwater, soil, and soil vapor. On March 29, 2019, CSS Environmental Services issued a work plan to collect and analyze soil vapor and groundwater samples at Wardrobe Cleaners. This facility is located downgradient to the Site with respect to groundwater flow direction; however, there is a potential that vapors from the VOCs associated with this facility may migrate and potentially pose a vapor encroachment condition at the Site. Based on the open status of the facility and distance from the Site, there is potential for the releases from this facility to have impacted the subsurface at the Site; therefore, this facility is considered a REC for the Site.

Draft Phase I ESA 27 May 2, 2019
8.2 Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions
The findings revealed no evidence of HRECs in connection with the property, with the exception of the following:
• Soil Impacts from Past Operations: USTs and hydraulic lifts associated with two former gasoline service stations at the Site were removed in the last 1980s and 1990s.
Petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soil was encountered and removed during excavation for the below-grade parking structure for the current building in 1996.
Confirmation sampling indicated that no petroleum hydrocarbons were identified in soil and no petroleum hydrocarbons or VOCs were identified in groundwater following excavation of affected soils. A closure letter issued by the SMCEHS indicates that the Site investigation for impacted soils from past operations at the Site is complete and that no further investigation and/or remediation based on the results of the excavation activities and confirmation sampling. Based on available information and current land use, SMCEHS concluded that no further action related to soils is required. Based on the information reviewed regarding the past operations at the Site, Geosyntec considers these past operations an HREC.
8.3 Controlled Recognized Environmental Conditions
This assessment did not identify any CRECs in connection with the Site.
8.4 De Minimis Conditions
Based on current and historical activities at the Site and in the vicinity of the Site, de minimis conditions were identified. De minimis conditions are environmental conditions which generally do not present a threat to human health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of the appropriate governmental agencies. Conditions determined to be de minimis are not RECs. De minimis conditions identified to date in relation to the Site are described below:
• Multiple locations were observed with surficial oil staining on the concrete in the subterranean parking garage of the building. It appears this staining originates from parked cars. Therefore this represents a de minimis condition for the Site.
8.5 Data Gaps
In accordance with the Standard, this section documents data gaps in the information obtained and reviewed as part of this Phase I ESA and discusses the associated significance. A data gap is defined in the Standard as being “… a lack of or inability to obtain information required by this practice despite good faith efforts by the environmental professional to gather such information.” No data gaps have been identified.
8.6 Exceptions and Deviations
In performance of this Phase I ESA, Geosyntec has not identified potential exceptions or deviations from the Standard of practice except where noted. 621 of 1252

Numerous violations from the County of San Mateo Health Services Agency (CSMHSA) for documentation and labeling requirements.
As of December 2018, there are no Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (violation) records associated with this facility (EPA ID CAL000383296).
The Site is listed in the HAZNET database under Generator EPA ID CAC001108152 for producing 2.0045 tons of polychlorinated biphenyls and material containing PCBs in 1996. The source of the PCBs is likely the hydraulic lift associated with former operations at the Site. No other information is available.
Two gasoline service stations operated at the Site, one as early as 1929 at the north corner (East 4th Avenue and South B Street) and one at the east corner (South B Street and East 5th Avenue) by 1950. The Levi Brothers leased the Site in 1951, built a department store, and operated the business until 1985. By 1969, the service station in the east corner at South B Street and East 5th Avenue had been replaced by a parking lot. By 1985, the service station in the north corner at East 4th Avenue and South B Street had been replaced by a paved parking lot. USTs associated with the former gasoline service station at the north corner of the Site (East 4th Avenue and South B Street) were removed in 1988. Soil sampling indicated a low concentration of TRPH at 60 mg/kg in the area of the excavation. Approximately 335 tons of soil associated with UST removal activities was excavated. In 1993, one hydraulic lift associated with the former gasoline service station at the east corner of the Site (East 5th Avenue and South B Street) was removed. TPH concentrations were detected in soil around the excavation and approximately 20 cubic yards were removed. Sampling performed at the Site in 1994 indicated petroleum hydrocarbon impacts in soil and groundwater, as well as a detection of lead in one groundwater sample. EKI performed a Phase II ESA in 1995. Results from sampling activities indicated low concentrations of unidentified petroleum hydrocarbons in soil and water samples.

In 1996, the Levy Brothers Department Store was demolished, and construction began on the Draeger’s Market building. Soil impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons were encountered in the north corner of the Site (East 4th Avenue and South B Street) during excavation for the below-grade parking structure. Impacted soil was excavated and confirmation sampling did not identify the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons that would warrant further investigative or remedial action. In addition, no petroleum hydrocarbons or volatile organic compounds were identified in groundwater at the Site.
CSMHSA issued a closure letter in 1997 stating that the site investigation for the impacted surface soils from past operations at the site is complete. Based on available information, including current land use, no further action related to the surface soils is required.
Based on the information reviewed regarding the past operations at the Site, the impacts from past operations are considered an HREC.

CLEANUP SITES
Dry cleaning operations at this property (Envirostor ID 41720094) began in 1995. The facility currently located at 335 E. 4th Avenue, but was located at 333 E 4th Avenue sometime prior to 1995. Dry cleaning operations included daily PCE use according to a DTSC facility screening form dated 15 September 2003. No major violations or reports of releases or spills have been reported for this facility. According to a memo dated 15 April 2005, the facility owner indicated that dry cleaning operations occurred offsite and that no hazardous substances were stored or generated onsite. DTSC issued a No Action Determination in April 2005 on the basis that the likelihood of release at this property based on past uses is minimal. However, the GeoTracker listing (ID T10000009149) indicates that PCE detected in groundwater downgradient of this facility at a fuel leak case led to an investigation of dry cleaning facilities. According to the Regulatory Activities section, CSMHSA requested a work plan to assess soil and groundwater to determine if solvent releases at the cleaners was responsible for the solvents in the groundwater of the surrounding neighborhood. According to a letter dated 14 July 2016 by CSS Environmental Services, Inc., the results of voluntary soil and groundwater sampling at the property indicated a mix of VOCs at the property, including PCE and PCE breakdown products at very low concentrations. A signed Remedial Action Agreement dated 11 October 2018 states that a discharge of PCE appears to have occurred at the property. A letter dated 4 February 2019 from CSMHSA requests a workplan to evaluate the VOC concentrations in groundwater, soil, and soil vapor to be submitted. The property is listed as OPEN - SITE ASSESSMENT AS OF 10/4/2018.
As of December 2018, there are no Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (violation) records associated with this facility (EPA ID CAL000292758).
This facility is located cross-gradient to the Site with respect to groundwater flow direction; however, the facility may potentially pose a vapor intrusion risk to the Site.
Based on the open status of the facility and distance from the Site, there is potential for this listing to have impacted the subsurface at the Site, therefore, this facility is considered a REC for the Site.

This facility (GeoTracker ID SL0608122639) lists a release of PCE to soil reported in December 2005. The Environmental Case Closure Summary Report by RRM dated 11 May 2006 stated that two dry cleaners operated at the location from approximately 1954 to 1991. Soil samples collected from borings in December 1995 contained detectable concentrations of PCE ranging from 0.0015 to 0.018 mg/kg. Acetone was also found in the soil samples. Groundwater samples collected from borings installed in January 2006 contained detectable concentrations of PCE, TCE, and cis-1,2-DCE at maximum concentrations of 7.1, 25, and 76 µg/L, respectively. RRM concluded that the primary sources of PCE, TCE, cis-1,2-DCE, and acetone were the former dry cleaning operations. Operations ceased in 1991 and all dry cleaning equipment has been removed from the facility. Analytical data for soil and groundwater samples collected from the facility indicate that the spill volume and spill duration was relatively small and groundwater flow rates are relatively low. The low concentrations of PCE indicate that significant degradation of PCE has already occurred. CSMHSA issued a closure letter and summary on 18 May 2007 confirming completion of facility investigation and remedial action activities for the release of PCE at the facility and indicated that the water quality objectives of the SFBRWQCB have been satisfied but an unknown quantity of residual VOC-impacted soil and/or groundwater remain in the subsurface.
The County must be notified should excavation or development of the property be proposed that may encounter impacted soil and/or groundwater. The facility is listed as COMPLETED - CASE CLOSED AS OF 5/18/2007.
Based on the closure status, this property has low potential to have impacted the subsurface at the Site and is not considered a REC.

ERIS report notes that the facility is under investigation. A letter dated 26 July 2016 from CSMHSA on GeoTracker (ID T10000009380) states that investigation of a nearby gasoline release (402 South Delaware Street) has sufficient information to indicate the source of PCE and breakdown products discovered in soil and groundwater samples may have originated at this facility, located upgradient from the gasoline release case location. Two additional dry cleaners located downgradient of this facility have concentrations of PCE and breakdown products detected in groundwater. Several utilities nearby could act as a preferential pathway for contaminant migration. Historical review indicates that dry cleaning operations using PCE were conducted at this facility from approximately 1987 to 2008. These findings suggest that this facility represents a potential source for PCE contamination in the neighborhood. CSMHSA requested voluntary soil and groundwater sampling in the vicinity of the facility to determine if the facility released PCE to soil and groundwater. It does not appear the facility has prepared a work plan to conduct soil and groundwater sampling since no other information is available.
As of December 2018, there are no Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (violation) records associated with this facility (EPA ID CAL000229704).
Based on the lack of information regarding contamination in the subsurface at this property and the location hydraulically-upgradient of the Site, the property may impact the subsurface at the Site and is considered a REC.

This dry cleaning facility (GeoTracker ID T1000011323) lists a release of PCE to groundwater discovered in March 2007. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment by John Carver Consulting dated 27 May 2014 states that since original construction in the late 1940s, the two story building at the facility has been a restaurant, office, and dry cleaning business. Two soil samples collected below the slab of the building in 2002 resulted in non-detect concentrations for VOCs. Groundwater samples collected approximately 100 feet east of the property in 2007 detected PCE at a maximum concentration of 500 µg/L. In an email dated 21 February 2018, CSMHSA determines that the soil sample collection and analysis from 2002 did not evaluate all pathways where PCE can be released to the environment and the groundwater samples collected in 2007 were from borings rather than monitoring wells. The facility’s consultant submitted a rebuttal in March 2018 and the County responded via a letter the same month indicating that the facility will need to undergo remedial action. An email correspondence dated 18 April 2018 from CSMHSA indicates the case is being transferred to DTSC for corrective action oversight. The facility is listed as OPEN - SITE ASSESSMENT AS OF 2/20/2018.
This facility is located cross gradient with respect to groundwater flow direction and unlikely to impact the Site. Therefore, this facility is not considered a REC for the Site.

This facility (GeoTracker ID T0608100123) lists a release of gasoline to groundwater reported in May 1984 (most likely this should be May 1986). A leak was detected in the 10,000-gallon gasoline UST in May 1986. Hydrocarbons were detected in soil samples collected in April 1988 in the vicinity of the USTs. Benzene was detected in groundwater samples during the same sampling event. The groundwater plume was further delineated in November 1988 and free product was observed. A soil vapor extraction (SVE) system was installed and operated between April 1992 and May 1993.
Free product was periodically hand-bailed between 1990 and 1997 for a total removal of 33 pounds. The former Chevron service station was demolished in 1996, when four fuel USTs (three 10,000-gallon gasoline and one 10,000-gallon diesel), one waste oil UST (1,000-gallon capacity), and two hoists were removed. Approximately 700 cubic yards of soil was excavated, according to the Cambria Corrective Action Plan dated 11 January 2000. Cambria concluded that the hydrocarbon-affected soil in the vadose zone has been adequately assessed, is limited in extent, and does not exceed 100 mg/kg TPH. Cambria proposed to monitor the dissolved-phase hydrocarbon concentrations at the facility for three years. On 13 August 2004, Cambria requested case closure on behalf of ChevronTexaco based on conditions meeting the SFBRWQCB definition of a low-risk fuel facility. The groundwater monitoring wells onsite were destroyed in December 2004 and January 2005. CSMHSA issued a closure letter summary dated 24 January 2005 confirming completion of facility investigation and corrective action for the USTs formerly located at this facility. The summary indicates that contaminated soil and groundwater remain in the subsurface at the facility and the County must be notified if development which may impact soil or groundwater occurs in the future. The facility is listed as COMPLETED - CASE CLOSED AS OF 1/24/2005.
Based on the closure status, localized petroleum hydrocarbon impacts, and distance to the Site, this property has low potential to have impacted the subsurface at the Site and is not considered a REC.

This facility (GeoTracker ID T0608100514) lists a release of gasoline to groundwater reported in October 1992. According to the facility history, the facility was a gasoline service station from 1920 until 1992. In October 1992 three gasoline USTs (5,000, 7,500, and 10,000 gallons) and one 275 gallon waste oil UST were removed. The tanks were found to have leaked and approximately impacted soil and groundwater beneath the facility. An SVE system operated between June 1995 and December 1996 and a hydrogen peroxide solution was injected into the subsurface to oxidize the fuel. A dual phase extraction (DPE) system was installed in 2003 and soil vapor and groundwater were extracted from November 2003 until February 2004. CSMHSA issued a case closure letter dated 4 February 2015 confirming the completion of a facility investigation and corrective action for the USTs formerly located at the facility. Although facility closure was granted, a small amount of petroleum hydrocarbon-affected soil and groundwater may exist near the former USTs. Most of the lead-affected soil was discovered at the facility which was excavated and removed from the facility. A UST was discovered at the facility in June 2016 during grading activities.

Subject: Pre-Construction Site Investigation Report
222 East 4th Avenue, San Mateo, California
Dear Mr. Gilmore:
RMD Environmental Solutions, Inc., (RMD) has prepared this Pre-Construction Site Investigation Report (Investigation Report) describing recent investigation activities for the property located at 222 East 4th Avenue in San Mateo California (the Site; Figure 1). A proposal by RMD dated February 17, 2021 outlined the soil and groundwater investigation presented in this Investigation Report. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA; May 2, 2019, Geosyntec Consultants) indicated potential soil vapor or groundwater impacts from offsite drycleaner sources. In addition, the ESA documented a historical REC related to a former gasoline service station at the Site. This soil and groundwater investigation was designed based on discussions with Lane Partners to assess Site conditions before redevelopment of the Site begins.
The Site background, investigation objectives, scope of work, and results are provided in the sections below.
SITE BACKGROUND
The Subject Property consists of four parcels totaling approximately 1.1 acres north of East Fifth Avenue and west of South B Street in San Mateo, California. The Subject Property is currently developed with a Draeger’s Market, with a one-level subsurface parking garage. Redevelopment plans consist of demolition of the existing structure and construction of a 5-story, mixed use (office, residential, and retail) building with 2 levels of below-grade parking. The footprint of the planned structure will encompass the entire property boundary. A Phase I ESA dated May 2, 2019 was provided to RMD for consideration in development of our sampling plan. The Phase I included asbuilt drawings of the current structure. During our review of the Phase I, drawings, and general knowledge of the area, RMD noted the following observations:
