PROJECT NM1E:
Rio Otay Industrial Park
PROJECT LOCATION:
4826 Otay Valley Road
PROJECT APPLICANT:
Darl ing Delaware Company, Inc.
P. O. Box 24407
San Francisco, CA 94124
CASE NO.
15-82-20
DATE: January 28, 1982
A. Project Setting
The proposed project is located on 40.7 acres of property north of Otay Valley
Road and approximately 600 feet east of Brandywine Avenue (see locator map).
The project area consists of three parcels of land, two of which have been graded
recently (15-81-20). Located on the project site at present is a rendering
plant. The plant, which is located on the front portion of the project site, renders
lard, fat and other animal byproducts.
Chemical waste products from processing have been deposited in ponds located on the
northerly one-half of the project site since 1959. This disposal site was discon-
tinued in July, 1978, and all 1 iquids remaining in the disposal ponds were removed,
leaving accumulated settled residues. The ponds were then covered with topsoil.
The various chemical wastes included chromic acid, nitric acid, alkaline solutions,
and carbide line wastes.
A trace of the La Nacion fault zone is located approximately 500 feet to the west,
parallel to Brandywine Avenue. Current evidence indicates that no movement has
occurred within the last 10,000 to 20,000 years (EIR-80-7, Brand~vine Industrial
Park) ,
Recent grading operations on the project site consisted of_the excavation and
fill of approximately 20,000~ cubic yards of earth for the purpose of burying
existing contaminated soils. The excavation and fill areas amounted to
approximately 20 acres of land and resul ted in a fill depth of 40 feet. A clay
lined pit was constructed in the northwest quadrant of the site for the placement
of contaminated material. This was followed by a clay cap and 8 to 10 feet of fill.
B. Project Description
The proposed project consists of the grading of 25,000 cubic yards of earth with the
maximum depth of cut and fill to range bet"leen 5 and 10 feet. The grading \'Iill be
a further modification of previous grading in order to create 22 industrial lots
served by two dedicated streets. No development plans are proposed at this time and
one lot contains the existing rendering plant.
C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
The proposed
- 'tlfJ6'
grading operations and subdivision of land is compatible with the
city 01 chula .vl.ta planning department @~Q
environmental review section 'IT "
15-82-20
2
present zone (I-P) and the General Plan designation of General Industrial.
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
1. Soils
Topsoils will be redistributed by the proposed grading operations, a soils
report should be prepared prior to development of each parcel to insure stable
foundation design in an area characterized by expansive soils. The excavation
and fill of the project site will create slope areas which could be subject to
erosion if not landscaped adequately. An erosion control plan should be submitted
for the prevention of soil erosion.
2. Geology
A relatively steep, dipping north-south trending fault was observed in the
northwest corner of the property prior to recent grading activities, although
the feature was considered to be relatively minor (Geocon, Inc., 1981). A major
branch of the La Nacion fault zone is located 550 feet west of the site and is
considered to be potentially active. Seismic risk relating to this fault is not
considered to be great on the project site.
3. Hazardous waste
Hazardous \'i6stes have been buried within the project site during previous grading
operations (15-80-20). The risk of potential human exposure to these wastes will
exist with the development of the project site and resulting employment opportun-
iti2s. The developer will be required to take informative measures prior to the
proposed grading and development of the site in order to prevent human exposure
to the existing subterranean waste material. Ongoing monitoring will continue to
assure that no leakage occurs (Cal.Reg.Water Qual. Control Bd. Order No. 80-06).
4. Fire protection
Water pressure along Otay Valley Road, east of Brandywine Avenue, is relatively
low. In order to provide adeguate fire protection for the project site,
water pressure must meet the minimum fireflow standards (verify with the City
of Chula Vista Fire Department) prior to development.
5. Sewers
The existing sewer trunk in Otay Valley Road is near capacity. It will become
increasingly difficult for the City to serve new developments within the tribu-
tary area of the subject trunk sewer. Adequate sewer facilities will be required
prior to the development of any proposed lots.
E. Mitigation measures necessary to avoid significant impacts
1. The applicant shall be required to either:
a. Submit information which shows that the buried wastes are not hazardous
and will not create an adverse impact on future occupants of the project
site; or -
t-/0535
15-82-20 3
b. Submit a plan providing that the site owner, his successors, and/or
assigns shall enforce provisions for:
1) Notification to occupants of the hazardous wastes existence,
2) Delineation of waste buried locations, and
3) Information regarding the nature or character of the waste, the
associated hazards and an emergency contact person.
2. The project site owner, his successors, and/or assigns shall adhere to the
specifications related to ongoing monitoring of the waste disposal site, as
specified in order No. 80-06 of the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board, San Diego Region (see attachment).
3. Minimum fireflow standards shall be met prior to any construction on the
project site to insure adequate fire protection.
4. Adequate sewer facilities will be assured through the following measures:
a. The proponent may be required to build a relief sewer line in which
future developers would pay their proportionate share as and when new
developments occur. (reimbursement district)
b. The proponent may be required to develop alternate methods to mitigate
sewer capacity problems, such as onsite holding tanks.
c. The proponents may be required to stipulate that they would not oppose
the formation of any assessment district formed for the purpose of provid-
ing adequate sewer capacity to the subject tributary area.
F. Findinq of insignificant impact
1. The project site is void of significant wildlife or vegetation and the existing
earthquake fault trace located approximately 500 feet to the west should not
create any adverse environmental effects.
2. The proposed grading and subdivision of the site is in conformance with the
General Plan, and with implementation of the proposed mitigation, the project is
not anticipated to achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term environ-
mental goals.
3. Potential impac:s relating to soil erosion and adverse soil conditions can be
mitigated and there are no impacts anticipated to occur which would interact to
create a substantial cumulative effect on the environment.
4. The project will not create any significant source of noise, other than initial
grading operations, and through long term monitoring no migration of existing
hazardous materials will occur that could adversely affect human beings.
