Former
Southern
Pacific

San
Mateo
County,
California
(GeoSyntec,

PCBs
were
detected
in
the
oil
tank
and
turntable
areas,
the
most
likely
sources.
See
Master Response 13
for
discussion
of
the
remediation
review
and
approval
process.
As
discussed
in
that
Master
Response,
based
on
existing
evidence
regarding
the
potential
for
presence
of
PCBs,
the
RWQCB
and
DTSC
have
not,
to
date,
deemed
additional
studies
for
PCBs
to
be
necessary.

This

activities
occurring
within
the
San
Francisco
portion
of
OU-1,
which
is
not
within
the
Baylands
Project
site.

Because
groundwater
at
the
Baylands
is
not
used
as
drinking
water,
cleanup
standards
may
not
be
based
on
providing
a
potable
water
supply
from
groundwater.
Although
no
current
groundwater
use
has
been
identified
and
no
plans
for
future
groundwater
use
have
been
proposed,
in
its
review
of
groundwater
contamination
related
to
the
Kinder
Morgan
tank
farm
site,
the
RWQCB
determined
that
the
potential
for
future
groundwater
use
in
the
vicinity,
including
for
drinking
water
from
deeper
water-bearing
zones,
should
not
be
precluded.
Therefore,
applicable
water
quality
objectives
for
tank
farm
groundwater
remediation
included
drinking
water
standards,
which
are
the
more
stringent
of
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
and
State
of
California
primary
maximum
contaminant
levels.
Cleanup
to
this
level
will
protect
all
existing
and
potential
future
beneficial
uses
of
groundwater
(RWQCB,
2008).

of
cumulative
effects
of

The
Bayshore
Industrial
Park
consists
of
a
series
of
metal
building
used
for
various
industrial
and
service
commercial
purposes,
such
as
warehousing/storage
and
auto
repair.
Based
on
the
age
of
these
buildings,
there
is
a
potential
for
the
presence
of
asbestos
and
lead-based
paint,
as
well
as
the
potential
for
ground
contamination
undetected
as
part
of
previous
studies
within
OU-2.
The
existing
industrial
park
is
planned
for
demolition
to
make
way
for
new
planned
uses
under
each
of
the
four
development
scenarios.
Such
demolition
could
result
in
the
introduction
of
asbestos
and
lead-based
paint,
as
well
as
potential
other
contaminants
in
the
soils
into
the
environment.
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2j
requires
that
prior
to
approval
of
any
demolition
plan
within
the
Bayshore
Industrial
Park,
any
building(s)
proposed
for
demolition
are
