29. SOIL SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
MM HAZ-1.1: The project shall conduct -soil sampling and analysis of the extent of
petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and volatile organic compounds (VOC)'contamination in
soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater in accordance with the Work Plan approved by the
Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health (SCCDEH) on November 5, 2013.
The approved Work Plan describes sample methodology, sample locations, the quality
assurance/quality control plan, reporting, and schedule. The Work Plan shall be
implemented by the project and the result,, of the sampling shall be submitted to the
SCCDEH. If additional investigation is required to sufficiently delineate the contaminants of
concern, additional sampling or mitigation measures shall be proposed and be reviewed and
approved by the SCCDEH. The Work Plan shall be completed to the satisfaction of the
SCCDEH prior to issuance of grading per rmits for project construction.
30. SITE REMEDIATION PLAN
MM HAZ-1.2: A Site Remediation Plan shall be prepared based on the documented soil
conditions and approved by the SCCDEH. The Site Remediation Plan shall_include the
design of a remedy that has the goal of mitigating ongoing threats to water quality and to
conditions of unacceptable risk for residentiGll land use. The Site Remediation Plan shall
Resolution No. 14-154
Page 12
include implementation and monitoring schedules. Upon approval of the Site Remediation
Plan, the approved remediation design shall be implemented at the project site, prior to
issuance of rg ading�permits for project construction.
Based on the current understanding of site conditions, soil vapor extraction (SVE) is
considered an appropriate remedy to mitigate the soil vapor levels to an acceptable level for
residential use. An SVE system would consist of a series of soil vapor extraction wells
connected to a vacuum pump. The depth and number of wells would be determined based
on results of the additional sampling. Vapors collected via the extraction system would be
treated either through absorption onto activated carbon or destroyed using an on-site
combustion system. The operation of the mitigation system would be tuned for optimal
performance during the early operations period. Mitigation of soil vapors to levels
acceptable for residential land use is expected to take approximately three months.
System operation shall comply with City noise ordinances and necessary permits (e.g., Bay
Area Air Quality Management District) shall be obtained prior to operation of the system. In
addition, required permits for well installation shall be obtained from the Santa Clara Valley
Water District.
If vapor mitigation through SVE is the only remedy implemented, confirmation of its
effectiveness shall be documented by four quarters of soil vapor monitoring (multi-depth
vapor wells installed to five and 10 feet at each proposed residence) performed after the
termination of the remediation system.
If a different remedy is approved, the Site Remediation Plan shall include an applicable
implementation ,plan, schedule, monitoring, and confirmation program. Other feasible
remedies could include soil excavation with or without above-ground treatment, passive
sub-slab vapor barriers, active sub-slab vapor management systems, or a combination of
these components.
31. OTHER SOIL CONTAMINANT SOURCES SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
MM HAZ-1.3: In addition to the sampling described above, soils at the site shall be assessed
for impact from other potential contaminant sources. These sources shall be sampled and
analyzed as follows:
• Soil samples shall be collected near the location of the former hydraulic hoists and
analyzed for PCBs. Samples shall be collected at locations dictated by visual evidence of
discoloration and analyzed using EPA SW*846 methodology (e.g., 8081 or 8082). If no
discoloration is evident, one soil sample shall be collected at each hoist.
• Three soil samples shall be collected from the site at a maximum depth of 0.5 feet below
the native soil surface and analyzed for organochlorine pesticides and arsenic.
Additional samples may be required based on the results of this analysis.
Resolution No. 14-154
Page 13
• The soil sampling results shall be compared to appropriate risk-based screening levels
and submitted to SCCDEH and the Director of Community Development prior to
construction grading on the site. If additional investigation is required to sufficiently
delineate the contaminants of concern, additional sampling or mitigation measures shall
be proposed and reviewed and approved by the SCCDEH prior to construction grading.
32. REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED SOILS
MM HAZ-1.4: Soil containing pesticides, PCB, and/or petroleum hydrocarbons shall be
removed by properly trained and licensed personnel and contractors, prior to construction
workers entering the site to begin earthwork. Contaminated soil shall be handled by trained
personnel using appropriate protective equipment and engineering controls, in accordance
with local, state, and federal laws. Contaminated soil shall be transported separate from
other soil excavated at the site, and disposed at an appropriate offsite facility in accordance
with its characteristics or, if mitigated by an alternative method, with approval from
SCCDEH, or other appropriate regulatory agEricy.
33. CLOSURE REPORT
MM HAZ-1.5: Upon completion of remt�diation activities and confirmation that the
resulting conditions are adequately protective of residential development, a Closure Report
shall be prepared and submitted to the City and SCCDEH for review and approval. The
report shall summarize:
• Past investigations, analytical reports, and current site conditions;
• Implemented mitigation measures and soil management activities;
• Off-site transport and disposal of excavated soil, and
• Excavation backfill materials and procedures.
Once the mitigation measures described have achieved thresholds established for residential
use, the report shall 'include a request regulatory closure for the property. Final approval.
that the site is suitable for residential land uses shall be issued by SCCDEH and copied to the
City of Cupertino prior to issuance of grading or demolition permits for project construction.
34. HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN (HASP)
MM HAZ-1.6: A site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) shall be prepared prior to
issuance of grading permits for project construction to address potential health and safety
hazards associated with implementation of the Work Plan and proposed redevelopment
activities (e:g., site preparation, demolition, grading and construction). The HASP shall
govern activities of all personnel present durii.lg field activities. A job hazard analysis (JHA)
shall be prepared for each task prior to performing said task. The JHAs shall include, at a
minimum, identification of likely hazards associated with the task, requirements and
procedures for employee protection, and required mitigation measures. Any contractor
Resolution No. 14-154
Page 14
performing a task not covered in the HASP shall be required to develop a JHA.specific to
that task prior to performing the task.
35. SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN (SMP)
MM HAZ-1.7: A Site Management Plan (SMP) shall be developed to establish management
practices for handling contaminated soil or other materials encountered during construction
activities. The SMP shall identify, potential health, safety, and environmental exposure
considerations associated with redevelopment activities and shall identify appropriate
mitigation measures. The SMP shall be submitted to the City and SCCDEH for approval
prior to commencing construction activities. The SMP will include the following:
• Proper mitigation as needed and demolition of the existing structure;
• Proper handling and disposal of waste oil below the building;
• Management of stockpiles, including sampling, disposal, and dust and runoff control
including implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention program;
• Management of underground structures encountered, including utilities and/or
underground storage tanks;
• Procedures to follow if evidence of an unknown historic release of hazardous materials
(e.g., underground storage tanks, buried debris, contamination) is discovered during
excavation or demolition activities;
• Traffic control during site improvements;
• Noise, work hours, and other relevant City regulations;
• Mitigation of soil vapors; and
• Monitoring, reporting, and regulatory oversight arrangements.
36. REDUCTION OF INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS
MM N0I-1.1: Provide a suitable form of forced-air mechanical ventilation, as determined by
the City of Cupertino Building Official, for all the units so that windows could be kept
closed at the occupant's discretion to control noise and achieve the 45 dBA CNEL interior
noise standard.
MM N0I-1.2: Provide sound rated windows and doors for Homes 1-5 to maintain interior
noise levels at acceptable levels. Preliminary calculations made based on the data contained
in the conceptual design plans indicate that sound-rated windows and doors with a sound
transmission class rating of STC 30 to 35 would be sufficient to control noise and achieve the
45 dBA CNEL interior noise standard.
MM N0I-1.3: Confirm the final specifications for noise insulation treatments during final
design of the project. Results of the analysis, including the description of the necessary noise
control treatments, shall be submitted to the City along with the building plans and
approved prior to issuance of building permits.
