Explain:

1 HUD regulations at 24 CFR § 58.5(i)(2)(ii) require that the environmental review for multifamily housing with five or more dwelling units or non-residential property include the evaluation of previous uses of the site or other evidence of contamination on or near the site. For acquisition and new construction of multifamily and nonresidential properties HUD strongly advises the review include an ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) to meet real estate transaction standards of due diligence and to help ensure compliance with HUD’s toxic policy at 24 CFR §58.5(i) and 24 CFR §50.3(i). Also note that some HUD programs require an ASTM Phase I ESA.  If the RE/HUD agrees with this recommendation, the review is in compliance with this section. Continue to the Worksheet Summary below. ☒ Yes.  Describe the findings, including any recognized environmental conditions (RECs), in Worksheet Summary below. Continue to Question 3.

3. Mitigation Work with the RE/HUD to identify the mitigation needed according to the requirements of the appropriate federal, state, tribal, or local oversight agency. If the adverse environmental effects cannot be mitigated, then HUD assistance may not be used for the project at this site.

Can adverse environmental impacts be mitigated? ☐ Adverse environmental impacts cannot feasibly be mitigated  Project cannot proceed at this location.

☒ Yes, adverse environmental impacts can be eliminated through mitigation.  Provide all mitigation requirements2 and documents. Continue to Question 4.

4. Describe how compliance was achieved. Include any of the following that apply: State Voluntary Clean-up Program, a No Further Action letter, use of engineering controls3, or use of institutional controls4. The Sacramento Station study area was granted certification from the DTSC (June 21, 1994) for remedial activities specified in the Final Remedial Action Plan (RAP). Groundwater contamination at the site is being addressed as part of the South Plume Study Area under an approved Remedial Action Plan. A portion of the Sacramento Station soil study area (within which the Property is located) was included in a Land Use Covenant (LUC) and Agreement dated August 28, 2015. The area had been investigated and contaminated soil was remediated under the DTSC’s oversight to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the Covenant were protective of all populations for planned land uses, including, but not limited to, commercial retail, industrial, hospital, school, daycare, mixed use, residential, and park use. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media.

Historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as part of the Railyards resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. Pursuant to a 1988 Enforceable Agreement with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Company (UPRR) has investigated and remediated soil and groundwater contamination at the Sacramento Railyards. In addition, UPRR has certain continuing obligations under the 1988 Enforceable Agreement, including remediation of groundwater, soil vapor, and ongoing operation and maintenance responsibilities. The Property is situated with the northeast corner of the Sacramento Station study area (SSA). The Sacramento Station study area was granted certification from the DTSC (June 21, 1994) for remedial activities specified in the Final Remedial Action Plan (RAP). Groundwater contamination at the site is being addressed as part of the South Plume Study Area under an approved Remedial Action Plan. A portion of the Sacramento Station soil study area (within which the Property is located) was included in a Land Use Covenant (LUC) and Agreement dated August 28, 2015. The area had been investigated and contaminated soil was remediated under the DTSC’s oversight to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the Covenant were protective of all populations for planned land uses, including, but not limited to, commercial retail, industrial, hospital, school, daycare, mixed use, residential, and park use. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. To that end, a Railyards-wide Soil and Groundwater Management Plan has been approved by DTSC in 2015 in satisfaction of this requirement and is currently being implemented at all Railyards projects.

Soils at the Property have been remediated and certified by the DTSC, with LUCs in place. The soil meets risk- based criteria established by regulatory authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls.

The DTSC has concluded that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, access (i.e., for the person responsible for implementing operation and maintenance activities), and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. Prohibited activities generally include drilling for water, oil, or gas; extraction or removal of groundwater without a groundwater management plan; and activity that may alter Remediation Systems without prior written approval of the DTSC.

The proposed project lies within the Railyards Specific Plan Boundary line. The City of Sacramento adopted an SEIR for the Railyards Specific Plan Update on November 10, 2016. Mitigation Measures from the SEIR will be applied to the project.

1.0 SUMMARY

Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) has completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) report of Lot 46, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of F Street and North 7th Street in Sacramento, California (the “Property”), on behalf of USA Properties Fund (the “Client”). The work was performed according to Stantec’s proposal and terms and conditions dated April 12, 2019 and accepted by the Client on April 17, 2019. USA Properties Fund (the “User”) has been designated as the User of this report.

The Phase I ESA was conducted in conformance with the requirements of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Designation E 1527-13, and All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) as defined by the US- EPA in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 312, except as may have been modified by the scope of work, and terms and conditions, requested by the Client. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, the ASTM or AAI practice are described in Section 2.3.

The Property encompasses approximately 3.16 acres of land identified as Lot 46, situated at the northwest corner of the intersection of F Street and North 7th Street in Sacramento, California. The Property is situated within a larger 9.91-acre parcel identified as Sacramento County Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 002-0010-063. The Property parcel was previously utilized as part of the western terminus of the transcontinental rail; the overall downtown Sacramento Railyards.

The overall Sacramento Railyards includes an area of 240 acres (including the 3.16-acre subject Property) immediately to the north of the Central Business District of the City of Sacramento and east of the . From the 1860s to the mid-1990s, Southern Pacific used the Railyards for the manufacturing and maintenance of locomotives and associated elements. Southern Pacific merged with UPRR in 1998, and UPRR became owner and the Responsible Party of the Railyards. With the exception of maintenance operations by California State Parks at two of the Central Shops historic buildings (the Boiler Shop and the Erecting Shop) in support of the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento, all manufacturing and maintenance operations at the Railyards terminated in the mid-1990s. As a result, Southern Pacific and UPRR demolished all existing buildings and features, with the exception of the existing eight buildings in the historic Central Shops.

The Property is intended to be redeveloped for use as affordable housing and associated parking. A Property location map is illustrated on Figure 1. A Property map illustrating the main features of the Property is provided as Figure 2. Photographs taken during the site reconnaissance visit are provided in Appendix A.

We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527 of the Property identified as Lot 46, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of F Street and North 7th Street in Sacramento, California. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in the Data Gaps section of this report. This assessment has revealed the following evidence of controlled recognized environmental conditions (CRECs) in connection with the Property:

Summary May 14, 2019

• Historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as the Railyards resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. Pursuant to a 1988 Enforceable Agreement with the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), UPRR has investigated and remediated soil and groundwater contamination at the Sacramento Railyards. In addition, UPRR has certain continuing obligations under the 1988 Enforceable Agreement, including remediation of groundwater, soil vapor, and ongoing operation and maintenance responsibilities. The Property is situated with the northeast corner of the Sacramento Station study area (SSA). The Sacramento Station study area was granted certification from the DTSC (June 21, 1994) for remedial activities specified in the Final Remedial Action Plan (RAP). Groundwater contamination at the site is being addressed as part of the South Plume Study Area under an approved Remedial Action Plan. A portion of the Sacramento Station soil study area (within which the Property is located) was included in a Land Use Covenant (LUC) and Agreement dated August 28, 2015. The area had been investigated and contaminated soil was remediated under the DTSC’s oversight to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the Covenant were protective of all populations for planned land uses, including, but not limited to, commercial retail, industrial, hospital, school, daycare, mixed use, residential, and park use. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. To that end, a Railyards-wide Soil and Groundwater Management Plan has been approved by DTSC in 2015 in satisfaction of this requirement and is currently being implemented at all Railyards projects.

On February 7, 2019, the DTSC issued a separate LUC for the Central Shops Soils Study Area (CSA). The DTSC approved a RAP on July 3, 2013 for the CSA and South Plume groundwater. Groundwater and soil vapor impacts beneath the Property are in the process of being remediated by and are the continuing obligations of UPRR, and contamination in these media will be addressed by the approved remedy of the South Plume groundwater RAP currently under implementation. Groundwater monitoring wells, groundwater and soil vapor extraction wells, and related groundwater and soil vapor extraction remediation systems (collectively, “Remediation Systems”) have been and may continue to be installed within the Railyards as part of the remediation for the South Plume. As a result of long-term remediation, UPRR has ongoing operations and maintenance obligations within the Property with regard to those Remediation Systems. The DTSC has concluded that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, access (i.e., for the person responsible for implementing operation and maintenance activities), and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. Prohibited activities generally include: drilling for water, oil, or gas; extraction or removal of groundwater without a groundwater management plan; and activity that may alter Remediation Systems without prior written approval of the DTSC.

Soils at the Property have been remediated and certified by the DTSC, with LUCs in place. The soil meets risk-based criteria established by regulatory authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls.

Project No.: 185702567 1.2

RAILYARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Summary May 14, 2019

Groundwater and vapor beneath the Property are undergoing remediation by UPRR under an approved RAP. Responsible parties have been identified and remedial efforts continue to be performed in accordance with regulatory oversight and an approved RAP. Mitigation for soil vapor intrusion is required, unless otherwise demonstrated to the contrary in accordance with DTSC review and approval. Given the DTSC’s conclusion that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment, historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as the Railyards is considered to represent a controlled recognized environmental condition (CREC).

As evident in approved development projects at the Property, there are no significant impediments to future development through the implementation of appropriate institutional and engineering controls. Based on existing approvals, and the implementation of the approved soil and groundwater management plan, groundwater remediation beneath the Property does not impact the ability of development to move forward.

Introduction May 14, 2019

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The objective of this Phase I ESA was to perform All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) into the past ownership and uses of the Property consistent with good commercial or customary practice as outlined by the ASTM in “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process”, Designation E1527-13. “All Appropriate Inquiry” (AAI) is the process for evaluating a property’s environmental conditions for the purpose of qualifying for landowner liability protections under CERCLA. following final rule of Part 312 of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR Part 312). The purpose of this Phase I ESA was to identify, to the extent feasible, adverse environmental conditions including recognized environmental conditions (“RECs”) of the Property.

The ASTM E1527-13 standard indicates that the purpose of the Phase I ESA is to identify RECs, including historical recognized environmental conditions (“HRECs”), and controlled recognized environmental conditions (“CRECs”) that may exist at a property. The term “recognized environmental conditions” means the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances 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.

ASTM defines a “HREC” as a REC that has occurred in connection with a property, but has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority and meets current unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the property to any required controls (e.g., property use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls). Before calling the past release a HREC, the environmental professional (EP) must determine whether the past release is a REC when the current Phase I ESA is conducted (e.g., if there has been a change in the regulations). If the EP considers the past release to be a REC at the time the Phase I ESA is conducted, the condition shall be included in the conclusions section of the report as a REC.

ASTM defines a “CREC” as 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 (e.g., as evidenced by the issuance of a no further action letter or equivalent, or meeting risk-based criteria established by regulatory authority), but with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls (e.g., property use restrictions, activity and use limitations, institutional controls, or engineering controls).

As defined by ASTM, RECs can include hazardous substances or petroleum products present under conditions in compliance with laws if that presence represents a material threat of future release. The presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products is, however, not a REC if that presence is a de minimis condition. De minimis conditions are minor occurrences of contamination that generally do not present a material risk to human health and would not likely be subject to enforcement action if brought to the attention of governmental agencies.

Introduction May 14, 2019

This Phase I ESA was conducted in accordance with our proposal to USA Properties Fund dated April 12, 2019 and Client’s authorization on April 17, 2019. The scope of work conducted during this Phase I ESA consisted of a visual reconnaissance of the Property, interviews with key individuals, and review of reasonably ascertainable documents. The scope of work did not include an assessment for environmental regulatory compliance of any facility ever operated at the Property (past or present), or sampling and analyzing of environmental media. Stantec was not contracted to perform an independent evaluation of the purchase or lease price of the Property and its relationship to current fair market value. The conclusions presented in this Phase I ESA report are professional opinions based on data described herein. The opinions are subject to the limitations described in Section 2.3.

ASTM E1527-13 notes that the availability of record information varies from source to source. The User or Environmental Professional is not obligated to identify, obtain, or review every possible source that might exist with respect to a property. Instead, ASTM identifies record information that is reasonably ascertainable from standard sources. “Reasonably ascertainable” means:

1. Information that is publicly available; 2. Information that is obtainable from its source within reasonable time and cost constraints; and 3. Information that is practicably reviewable.

2.1 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The Property consists of approximately 3.16 acres of land identified as Lot 46, situated at the northwest corner of the intersection of F Street and North 7th Street in Sacramento, California. The Property is situated within a larger 9.91-acre parcel identified as APN 002-0010-063. The Property parcel was previously utilized as part of the the western terminus of the transcontinental rail; the downtown Sacramento Railyards.

The Sacramento Railyards includes an area of 240 acres (including the 3.16-acre Property) immediately to the north of the Central Business District of the City of Sacramento and east of the Sacramento River. From the 1860s to the mid-1990s, Southern Pacific used the Railyards for the manufacturing and maintenance of locomotives and associated elements. Southern Pacific merged with UPRR in 1998, and UPRR became owner and the Responsible Party of the Railyards. With the exception of maintenance operations by California State Parks at two of the Central Shops historic buildings (the Boiler Shop and the Erecting Shop) in support of the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento, all manufacturing and maintenance operations at the Railyards terminated in the mid-1990s. As a result, Southern Pacific and UPRR demolished all existing buildings and features, with the exception of the existing eight buildings in the historic Central Shops.

The Property is intended to be redeveloped for use as affordable housing and associated parking. A Property location map is illustrated on Figure 1, and a map illustrating the main features of the Property is provided as Figure 2. Photographs taken during the site reconnaissance visit are provided in Appendix A.

Records Review May 14, 2019

4.0 RECORDS REVIEW

The objective of consulting historical sources of information is to develop the history of the Property and surrounding area and evaluate if past uses may have resulted in RECs. Physical setting records are evaluated to determine if the physical setting may have contributed to adverse environmental conditions in connection with the Property. During the review of historical records, Stantec attempted to identify uses of the Property from the present to the first developed use of the Property. Stantec’s research included the reasonably ascertainable and useful records described in this section.

4.1 PHYSICAL SETTING

A summary of the physical setting of the Property is provided in the table below with additional details in the following subsections

Topography: The Property is relatively flat, gently sloping to the south- southeast, and generally lies at approximately 28 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Property is depicted on the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic Map Sheet of the Sacramento East, California Quadrangle. Soil/Bedrock Data: According to the EDR Radius Map Report, the dominant soil composition in the general area of the Property is Orthents. Soil texture is reported to be variable. Additional geologic information for the Property is discussed in Section 4.1.2. Estimated Depth to Groundwater/ Various groundwater monitoring activities have been Estimated Direction of Gradient: performed within the Property vicinity. As further discussed in Section 4.2.3, the overall larger Railyards is adjacent to the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, and groundwater generally occurs at depths of approximately 10 to 25 feet below ground surface (bgs), depending on season and location that impact this range. The mean flow direction in all water-bearing zones is generally toward the south and southeast toward downtown Sacramento. NOTE: Site-specific groundwater flow direction and depth can only be determined by conducting site-specific testing, which Stantec has not conducted.

4.1.1 Property Topography and Surface Water Flow

The Property is located at an elevation of approximately 28 feet msl. Topography at the Property is generally flat, with a slight gradient to the south-southeast. Storm water drainage in unpaved portions of the Property is reportedly currently contained within the Railyards. Surface drainage at the Property likely flows into unpaved areas of the Property and storm drains located along the Property boundary.

4.1.2 Regional and Property Geology

The Property is located in the Great Valley geomorphic province of California, consisting of an alluvial plain about 50 miles wide and 400 miles long in the central part of California. Its northern part is the Sacramento Valley, drained by the Sacramento River and its southern part is the San Joaquin Valley drained by the San Joaquin River. The Great Valley is a trough in which sediments have been deposited almost continuously since the Jurassic (about 160 million years ago). Great oil fields have been found in southern most San Joaquin Valley and along anticlinal uplifts on its southwestern margin. In the Sacramento Valley, the Sutter Buttes, the remnants of an isolated Pliocene volcano, rise above the valley floor (California Geologic Survey [CGS] 2002).

According to the Railyards Specific Plan Update, dated April 15, 2016, prior to human development the dominant geomorphic feature at the Railyards Specific Plan (RSP) area was China Lake (also known as Sutter Slough, Sutter Lake, and China Slough), which was filled in 1910. The RSP area previously contained another lake (Willow Lake) on the northern end. The two lakes and associated marshland covered a portion of the RSP area. Dredging and filling of the RSP area continued until 1913 when the entire area was filled. Fill material consists of river sand, coarse gravel, cobbles, and granite brought from Rocklin, California, as well as discarded railroad equipment such as boilers and miscellaneous pieces of iron. Near the surface and to a depth of 30 to 50 feet are deposits of silt and sand, including fill placed over the area in the past 130 years. Underlying the upper sand unit is a layer of sandy gravel. The top of the gravel unit is between 60 and 80 feet bgs.

Geology of the Property vicinity is discussed in ERM’s Final Draft Remedial Action Plan, Central Shops Study Area – Soil Area, South Plume Study Area – Ground Water, the Railyards, Sacramento, California, dated January 2013. The stratigraphy of the Central Shops and South Plume study areas has been defined to a depth of approximately 250 feet bgs and divided into three general geologic sequences (in descending order): the Fill Sequence, the Fining Upward Sequence, and the Interbedded Sequence. The Fill Sequence occurs throughout areas in the Railyards where historical grading and filling occurred to address low-lying areas. Fill zones are also encountered in areas throughout the South Plume study area as a result of the development of downtown Sacramento. The fill zones are generally unsaturated. The Fining Upward Sequence and the Interbedded Sequence typically occur in the saturated zone. The Fining Upward Sequence consists of a thick (approximately 100 feet) sequence of saturated and unconsolidated fluvial channel deposits with three hydrostratigraphic zones including: Clay Zone (semi-continuous confining layer), Sand Zone (upper and lower), and Gravel Zone. The Interbedded Sequence consists of alternating layers of unconsolidated alluvial clay / silt and sand layers with five hydrostratigraphic zones including: Interbedded A Zone (semi-continuous confining layer), Interbedded B Zone, Interbedded C Zone (confining layer), Interbedded D Zone, and Interbedded E Zone (confining layer).

4.1.3 Regional and Property Hydrogeology

Hydrogeology of the Property vicinity is discussed in ERM’s Final Feasibility Study Report, Central Shops Study Area – Soil Area, South Plume Study Area – Ground Water, the Railyards, Sacramento, California, dated July 2010. The Fining Upward and Interbedded hydrostratigraphic zones include aquifers and aquitards. The aquifers, which readily produce groundwater and are monitored to evaluate groundwater

quality include the Sand Zones (upper and lower), the Gravel Zone, Interbedded B Zone, and Interbedded D Zone. The Interbedded A, C, and E Zones have been classified as aquitards based on their content of fine-grained sediment and limited ability to produce groundwater. The shallow hydrogeologic zones (the Sand and Gravel Zones) near the Railyards are bounded on the west and north by the Sacramento and American Rivers, respectively. Both rivers provide lateral hydraulic boundaries for the Sand and Gravel Zones. To the east and south of the Railyards, the shallow zones are not bounded by natural or anthropogenic features. Horizontal boundaries for the B and D Zones have not been identified in the immediate vicinity of the Railyards. The upper boundary of the system is formed by the unconfined water table, which receives recharge through infiltration of precipitation in the Railyards. The Sacramento County water filtration plant, located on the northwestern boundary of the Railyards, has an estimated 1 percent subsurface water loss during daily treatment activities at the plant (which treats up to 100 million gallons per day). Therefore, it appears to form a localized recharge boundary to the Sand Zone in this area. The top of the Interbedded C Zone, a thick and competent clay layer, most likely forms the base of significant vertical groundwater flow in the system.

Recharge to the Sand and Gravel Zones occurs primarily from the American and Sacramento Rivers. The primary source of recharge to the B Zone is lateral inflow from outside The Railyards area; downward flow of water from the Gravel Zone represents a secondary source. The D Zone receives recharge primarily from lateral inflow. The Sand and Gravel Zones are hydraulically unconfined and are in direct hydraulic connection with one another. Vertical hydraulic gradients are primarily directed downward. The A Zone provides a weak hydraulic confinement of the B Zone. The C Zone clay provides a substantial hydraulic confinement between the D Zone and shallower aquifers.

The Railyards is adjacent to the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, and groundwater occurs at depths of approximately 15 to 30 feet bgs, depending on season and location. Groundwater flow patterns and gradients at the Railyards are transient due to the influence of the American and Sacramento River stages, as well as water supply wells used for irrigation purposes. Water produced from these supply wells is not intended for human consumption. The mean flow direction in all water- bearing zones is generally toward the south.

A levee spans the northern portion of the Railyards.

4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL FRAMEWORK

Historically, the past uses of the Railyards included the building and refurbishing of locomotives and railcars. In 1988, SPTCo and the DTSC entered into the Enforceable Agreement (1988 Enforceable Agreement). UPRR merged with SPTCo in 1996 and acquired the Sacramento Railyards. Pursuant to a 1988 Enforceable Agreement with the DTSC, UPRR has investigated and remediated soil and groundwater contamination at the Sacramento Railyards. In addition, UPRR has certain continuing obligations under the 1988 Enforceable Agreement, including remediation of groundwater, soil vapor, and ongoing operation and maintenance responsibilities. As described below, the majority of soil cleanup at the Railyards has been completed and certified.

Project No.: 185702567 4.3

RAILYARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Records Review May 14, 2019

In November 1995, the DTSC formally approved an agreement between the DTSC and SPTCo to separate soil and groundwater investigations of each Railyards study area. The Sacramento Railyards was divided into study areas: the Lagoon, Northern Shops, Central Corridor, Car Shop Nine, Central Shops, Lagoon Northwest Corner, and Sacramento Station soil study areas, the Lagoon Groundwater study area, South Plume groundwater study area, and the Manufactured Gas Plant soil and groundwater study area. For groundwater, the entire Railyards was divided into a northern groundwater unit and southern groundwater unit. These two groundwater units are referred to as the Lagoon Groundwater Study Area and South Plume Groundwater Study Area, respectively. Under the November 1995 DTSC agreement, all groundwater Remedial Investigation / Feasibility Study / Remedial Action Plan (RI / FS / RAP) activities for the Railyards would be conducted under the two groundwater study areas (ERM, 2010 FS).

The Sacramento Station study area was granted certification from the DTSC (June 21, 1994) for remedial activities specified in the Final Remedial Action Plan (RAP); groundwater contamination at the site is being addressed as part of the South Plume Study Area under an approved RAP. Soil cleanup at the Lagoon, Northern Shops, Central Corridor, Car Shop Nine, and a portion of the Sacramento Station soil study areas (including the Property) was included in a Land Use Covenant (LUC) and Agreement dated August 28, 2015, detailing completion and subsequent conditions of soil cleanup.

These areas had been investigated and contaminated soil was remediated under the DTSC’s oversight to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the LUC, were protective of all populations for planned land uses, including, but not limited to, commercial retail, industrial, hospital, school, daycare, mixed use, residential, and park use. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. To that end, a Railyards-wide Soil and Groundwater Management Plan has been approved by DTSC in 2015 in satisfaction of this requirement and is currently being implemented at all Railyards projects. The Central Shops study area was included in a separate LUC and Agreement dated February 7, 2019. This study area had been investigated and remediated under DTSC oversight.

Accessible soils within the Property were remediated to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in this Covenant, are protective of all populations for planned land uses. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, access (i.e., for the person responsible for implementing operation and maintenance activities), and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. The approved 2015 Soil and Groundwater Management Plan applies to the Central Shops and has been approved for implementation from projects in this area. Prohibited activities generally include: drilling for water, oil, or gas; extraction or removal of groundwater without a groundwater management plan; and activity that may alter groundwater or soil vapor related remediation systems without prior written approval of the DTSC.

For the purposes of this assessment, the Property boundary constitutes a small area on the southern portion of the Railyards, situated only within the Sacramento Station Study Area (SSA). Refer to Figure 2 for a map of Railyards study area boundaries relative to the Property. Detailed discussion of soil,

RAILYARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Records Review May 14, 2019

groundwater, and soil vapor impacts at the Property is presented below. Select discussions in this Phase I ESA of other Railyards study areas are presented for context and background.

4.2.1 Soil – Sacramento Station

The SSA encompasses approximately 40 acres along the southern portion of the Railyard, generally bounded by the Northern Shops, Central Shops, Central Corridor, and Car Shop Nine Study Areas to the north, commercial and municipal uses to the east and southwest, and the Sacramento River to the west. Historically, uses of various portions of the SSA have included foundry activities, maintenance of way and company equipment facilities, a rail passenger terminal, passenger train and car maintenance, and other industrial uses. Soil was contaminated with metals and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). Groundwater contamination includes metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and TPH. The Property consists of a small, 3.16-acre portion on the northeastern corner of the SSA.

According to a First Five-Year Review Report, Former SPTCo Sacramento Railyard, Sacramento, California, dated June 2015 and prepared by ERM, actions were performed in the SSA prior to DTSC approval (December 7, 1989) of the Final Remedial Action Plan, Sacramento Station Site prepared by Woodward-Clyde Consultants (WCC, 1989). These actions include: removal of four UST systems and associated contaminated soil in 1986, removal of asbestos-containing materials associated with a furnace brick in 1989, and the demolition of a former battery shop in 1990 followed by the removal of the nonhazardous debris, excavation of subsurface soil (to an approximate depth of eight feet below ground surface), and offsite disposal. Institutional controls applicable to soil contamination were established for the SSA and consist of a Covenant and Agreement enacted on May 6, 1994, in addition to site access restrictions. Additional soil remediation activities were completed subsequent to removal of mainline rail. Two additional USTs were discovered in the SSA during remediation and development activities. The identification and removal of USTs does not impact the protectiveness of the remedy. Soil remediation has been completed in all accessible areas. A land use covenant (LUC) was established on May 6, 1994. The remedy is fully implemented and certified by the DTSC.

In addition, soils in the SSA are referenced in a LUC dated August 28, 2015 as having been remediated under a RAP approved on December 7, 1989. The selected remedial alternative includes excavation, chemical stabilization, off-site disposal, cleaning of debris/ballast, and clean fill for backfill. Soils at the SSA were remediated to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions of the LUC, are protective of all populations for planned land uses. The LUC requires a compliant soil layer over remediated soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. A Railyards-wide soil and groundwater management plan was approved by DTSC in 2015.

According to the Railyards Specific Plan Update, dated April 15, 2016, as discussed in the 2007 RSP Draft EIR, the DTSC certified the regulatory closure of the SSA on May 27, 1994 and the deed restriction was recorded. No further investigation or remediation was necessary in this portion of the RSP area. Since the publication of the 2007 RSP EIR, the mainline tracks that previously cut through the SSA were relocated north. This allowed for the soils under the former mainline tracks, that were not previously

accessible, to be remediated. In 2015, a new LUC was issued, replacing the Sacramento Station Covenant for areas owned by DRV within the Sacramento Station. Other areas within the Sacramento Station owned by Administrative offices of the Courts and City of Sacramento remain under the 1994 Sacramento Station Covenant.

4.2.2 Groundwater – Central Shops and South Plume

As mentioned in Section 4.2.6, the South Plume Groundwater Study Area (South Plume) originates from Central Shops (further west-northwest of the Property) and extends off-site to the southeast.

According to a Final Feasibility Study Report, Central Shops Study Area – Soil and South Plume Study Area – Ground Water, The Railyards, Sacramento, California, prepared by ERM and dated July 2010, the Central Shops / South Plume Remedial Investigation Report identified elevated concentrations of metals, SVOCs, TPH, and VOCs within soil and groundwater. The South Plume is defined by the occurrence of chlorinated VOCs (CVOCs) in groundwater within and south of the southern half of the Railyards. The South Plume originated in the Central Shops and extends across the Sacramento Station into downtown Sacramento. A lesser source of mass to the South Plume originates in the Car Shop Nine Study Area (CSN). The southern margin of the plume extends to approximately P Street. The eastern and western margins of the plume correspond to approximately 12th Street and 5th Street, respectively. CVOCs in South Plume groundwater range in depth from approximately 25 feet bgs to as deep as approximately 180 feet bgs. Groundwater flow directions in the South Plume range from east to southwest, depending on season and location. Based on the source location of CVOCs and configuration of the South Plume, the mean flow direction in all water-bearing zones is generally toward the south and southeast.

The South Plume Source Groundwater is defined by the presence of total VOC concentrations greater than one part per million (ppm) in groundwater within areas containing an identified soil source and including the Cleaning Building, Repair Gang Shop, Machine Shop Corridor, East Transfer Table, and Car Shop Nine. Several extensive technology studies and interim remedial measures have been implemented at the Central Shops and South Plume between 1991 and 2005. The health risk assessment (HRA) concluded that the potential migration of volatile constituents released from off-site South Plume groundwater is not a complete pathway because volatile constituents are not routinely detected in the shallowest water-bearing zone. Therefore, the South Plume groundwater does not pose an unacceptable risk for off-site users. ERM concluded that Alternative 4b was the recommended preferred alternative for Central Shops soil and South Plume groundwater. Alternative 4b consists of: institutional controls, a combination of excavation of accessible soils and multiple-component cap to prevent exposure to constituents in shallow soil, vapor barriers to prevent migration of volatile constituents into indoor air, soil vapor extraction to remove volatile constituents from subsurface soil, air injection and recovery trenches to enhance recovery of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) at the New Painting Facility, hydraulic containment, mass removal in areas of high concentrations within the lower Sand Zone and Gravel Zone from select off-site extraction well locations, hydraulic containment to prevent migration of impacted groundwater and to remove mass at CSN, and monitored natural attenuation for treatment of groundwater.

A Final Draft Remedial Action Plan, Central Shops Study Area – Soil and South Plume Study Area – Groundwater, Sacramento, California, prepared by ERM and dated January 2013, indicates that various interim remedial measures (IRMs) have been implemented in several areas of the Central Shops and South Plume that have effectively reduced the concentrations of several constituents within both soil and groundwater. In many cases, the IRMs represent long term systems that have been optimized for efficiency and effectiveness of operation. The DTSC-approved FS presented Alternative 4b as the Preferred Remedy for the Central Shops and South Plume study areas. Groundwater remediation components of the Preferred Remedy include enhanced LNAPL recovery through air injection and trenching, hydraulic containment, groundwater extraction along the axis of the plume, groundwater capture at the toe of the plume, and MNA. A LUC will require the installation of a soil vapor mitigation system unless demonstrated to the satisfaction of DTSC that it is not needed in areas of potential vapor intrusion risk. Institutional controls are a component of the Preferred Remedy and are intended to prevent land uses and exposures that are not consistent with DTSC-approved remedial goals. UPRR shall enter into an Operations and Maintenance Agreement (OMA) with the DTSC for long-term remedy operation and maintenance. An Operations and Maintenance Plan, to be enforced under an OMA, will describe the general elements of operating and maintaining the various components of the remedy.

On February 7, 2019, the DTSC issued a LUC for the Central Shops Study Area (CSA). The DTSC approved a RAP on July 3, 2013 for the CSA and South Plume groundwater. The remediation activities conducted at the site include soil excavation, soil vapor extraction, and groundwater pump and treatment. Hazardous substances, including VOCs, SVOCs, metals, and TPH remain at the site above levels acceptable for unrestricted land use; thus, requiring the LUC. Accessible soils at the site were remediated to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the LUC, are protective of all populations for planned land uses. The South Plume groundwater flows beneath the CSA. Groundwater and soil vapor impacts from VOCs beneath the site are in the process of being remediated by UPRR, and contamination in this media will be addressed by the approved final RAP. Soil vapor beneath the site may pose an unacceptable human health risk to future users based on potential migration into indoor air and groundwater contact absent compliance with the LUC. Initially, the boundaries of the requirement for vapor mitigation measures shall apply to the entire site, subject to adjustment by the DTSC in writing. Groundwater monitoring wells, groundwater and soil vapor extraction wells, and related groundwater and soil vapor extraction (SVE) remediation systems (collectively, “Remediation Systems”) have been and may continue to be installed within the site as part of the remediation of the South Plume. As a result of long-term remediation, UPRR will have ongoing operations and maintenance obligations within the site with regard to those Remediation Systems.

The DTSC has concluded that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, access (i.e., for the person responsible for implementing operation and maintenance activities), and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. A Railyards-wide soil and groundwater management plan was approved by DTSC in 2015. Prohibited activities generally include: drilling for water, oil, or gas; extraction or removal of groundwater without a groundwater management plan; and activity that may alter Remediation Systems without prior written approval of the DTSC. There are no

prohibitions on any land uses that have been approved by the Specific Plan, including housing, parks, day care, commercial, and other similar such uses.

4.3 FEDERAL, STATE AND TRIBAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS

A regulatory agency database search report was obtained from EDR, a third-party environmental database search firm. A complete copy of the database search report, including the date the report was prepared, the date the information was last updated, and the definition of databases searched, is provided in Appendix D.

Stantec evaluated the information listed within the database relative to potential impact to the Property, assessing the potential for impacts based in part on the physical setting. As part of this process, inferences have been made regarding the likely groundwater flow direction at or near the Property. As described in 4.1.3, the inferred shallow groundwater flow direction is likely to be towards the south. Observations about the Property and surrounding properties made during the Property reconnaissance are provided in more detail in Section 5.

4.3.1 Listings for Property and Nearby Sites with Potential to Impact Property

The regulatory agency database report, provided by EDR of Milford, Connecticut, was reviewed for information regarding reported releases of hazardous substances and petroleum products on or near the Property. For the purposes of this assessment, database listings for unspecified areas of the Railyards (within the approximate minimum search distance) are generally discussed as Property listings; however, the Property boundary includes a small area on the southern portion of the Railyards, situated within the SSA. The following is a summary of the findings of the database review. The complete regulatory agency database report may be found in Appendix D.

ML databases. The SEMS-ARCHIVE database confirms that the site is not listed on the NPL. The CORRACTS listing indicates that migration of contaminated groundwater is under control. An open SLIC case is referenced in the CA CPS-SLIC database. CA ENVIROSTOR listings note corrective action of impacted soil. The facility is a hazardous waste generator.

The status of historical Property usage and related environmental investigations is further discussed in Section 4.2. Although historical usage of the Property as the Railyards resulted in known impacts to soil and groundwater, the vast majority of the Property has been certified, with LUCs in place. Soil within the SSA has been certified to meet risk-based criteria established by the DTSC, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls. Groundwater and soil vapor impacts from VOCs beneath the Property are in the process of being remediated by and are the continuing obligations of UPRR. Groundwater RAP has been approved is being implemented to the satisfaction of regulatory agencies.

Based on the extensive environmental investigation and cleanup of the Railyards, in accordance with regulatory oversight, potential impacts to the Railyards from offsite sources have been addressed in concert with onsite sources of contamination. In addition, the groundwater gradient in the Property vicinity is towards the south; therefore, areas upgradient to the north of the Property boundary include other Railyards areas, as opposed to offsite sources. As such, detailed review of database listings for offsite facilities outside the Railyards was not warranted.

5.6 UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS/STRUCTURES

Existing No visible evidence (fill pipes, vent pipes, dispensers, surface patches), which would USTs: indicate the presence of USTs, was discovered during the site reconnaissance. Former As documented in an Underground Storage Tank Assessment, Car Shop Nine, USTs: Central Corridor, Lagoon Soil, Former Manufactured Gas Plant, Northern Shops, and Sacramento Station Study Areas, Former SPTCo Sacramento Railyard, Sacramento, California, prepared by ERM and dated November 14, 2014, USTs were historically used at the Railyards for various storage needs including bunker fuel, diesel fuel, gasoline, and solvents. Closure reports document the proper removal of many USTs historically used at the Property. Despite the documented removals, USTs have been encountered at the Property during remediation and development activities, none of which have been found to be documented within readily available historical records. ERM compiled available historical documents pertaining to USTs at the Property and reviewed to verify the status of known USTs and to identify areas where USTs may still remain on the Property. During the late 1980s, SPTCo reportedly identified and abandoned all known tanks on the Property as part of a system-wide UST abandonment program. SPTCo contracted American Environmental Management Corporation (AEMC). The AEMC reports suggest that the 20 removed USTs represent all tanks known to SPTCo at that time; soil excavations and remedial investigations conducted since the time of the AEMC reports provide no evidence that any of the reported tanks were abandoned in place. SPTCo closure reports prepared by AEMC indicate that the majority of USTs removed in the late 1980s were located just below the concrete pads and often in close proximity to buildings. Recent development projects and soil remediation activities at the Property encountered five USTs that were apparently unknown to SPTCo during the late 1980s and did not appear on any third-party registry; these USTs were found in proximity to former buildings. This assessment found no evidence or historical records that suggest additional tanks remain at the Railyards; however, the discovery of five previously unknown USTs suggests the potential that additional tanks may remain.

Project No.: 185702567 5.3

RAILYARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Site Reconnaissance May 14, 2019

ERM determined that there are two sets of conditions that represent the potential for USTs at the Property, including: proximate to buildings at shallow depths; and proximate to buildings at any depth in areas of repeated historical fill, such as the MGP and portions of the SSA. USTs were considered unlikely to remain in areas previously excavated or in areas that were historically undeveloped. In total, approximately 30 acres of the Railyards was determined to have insufficient information to rule out the presence of USTs. Geophysical techniques were deployed to evaluate the target search areas. If the geophysical investigation identifies an object that has a “tank-like” signature, and no other source of interference is identified, the object was explored with an excavator or backhoe.

Figure 2 depicts former Tank A located near the southwest portion of the Property. Tank A is an estimated 20,000-gallon bunker fuel UST encountered in 2010 during construction of the 6th Street bridge footings. The top of the tank was found 8 feet bgs at the time of redevelopment. This UST sits adjacent to the former foundry building. Historical fill placed as the result of the grade raise for the relocation of the mainline track in the mid-1900s after the disuse of the UST resulted in the tank being encountered at a depth that is not typical for the Railyards and not typical of standard UST installation practices.

According to a First Five-Year Review Report, Former SPTCo Sacramento Railyard, Sacramento, California, dated June 2015 and prepared by ERM, ERM’s 2014 UST Assessment was approved by the DTSC (February 23, 2015) to evaluate and investigate the presence of remaining USTs throughout the Railyards. The identification and removal of USTs does not impact the protectiveness of the remedy.

ERM prepared an Underground Storage Tank Investigation Summary Report, Car Shop Nine, Central Corridor, Lagoon Soil, Former Manufactured Gas Plant, Northern Shops, and Sacramento Station Study Areas, Former SPTCo Sacramento Railyard, Sacramento, California, dated August 22, 2016. The report provides a summary of the multi-component geophysical and direct investigation that was designed to provide a reasonable level of certainty that all historical USTs have been identified and removed from the Property. The areas with greatest potential for USTs have been investigated, and anomalies in the survey dataset were validated to eliminate the potential for USTs. No additional USTs were identified during the investigation. A UST Management Plan is not required because no USTs containing hazardous substances were discovered during the investigation. Small areas of the planned investigation areas were not accessible (due to the presence of slopes and physical obstructions), but these represent a less-than-significant area of the Property. No further investigation was warranted.

The DTSC issued a letter entitled Tank Investigation, The Railyards, Sacramento, California, dated March 28, 2017, concurring with the conclusions of ERM’s UST investigation summary report. DTSC also notes that while USTs would unlikely remain in the currently inaccessible areas, there is a process in the Railyards Agreement for managing the potential discovery of “historic contamination” during the development of property owned by DRV.

Since the completion of this UST assessment, no USTs have been encountered in any of the development work.

Evaluation May 14, 2019

7.0 EVALUATION

This section provides a summary overview of or Findings, Opinions, and Conclusions.

7.1 FINDINGS AND OPINIONS

Information gathered from interviews, reviews of existing data, and a property inspection was evaluated to determine if RECs are present in connection with the Property. Based on this information, Stantec made the following findings and developed the following opinions.

Finding 1: Historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as the Railyards resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. Pursuant to a 1988 Enforceable Agreement with the DTSC, UPRR has investigated and remediated soil and groundwater contamination at the Sacramento Railyards. In addition, UPRR has certain continuing obligations under the 1988 Enforceable Agreement, including remediation of groundwater, soil vapor, and ongoing operation and maintenance responsibilities.

The Property is situated with the northeast corner of the SSA. The Sacramento Station study area was granted certification from the DTSC (June 21, 1994) for remedial activities specified in the Final RAP; groundwater contamination at the site is being addressed as part of the South Plume Study Area under an approved Remedial Action Plan. A portion of the Sacramento Station soil study area was included in a LUC and Agreement dated August 28, 2015. The area had been investigated and contaminated soil was remediated under the DTSC’s oversight to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the Covenant were protective of all populations for planned land uses, including, but not limited to, commercial retail, industrial, hospital, school, daycare, mixed use, residential, and park use. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. To that end, a Railyards-wide Soil and Groundwater Management Plan has been approved by DTSC in 2015 in satisfaction of this requirement and is currently being implemented at all Railyards projects.

On February 7, 2019, the DTSC issued a separate LUC for the CSA. The DTSC approved a RAP on July 3, 2013 for the CSA and South Plume groundwater. Groundwater and soil vapor impacts beneath the Property are in the process of being remediated by and are the continuing obligations of UPRR, and contamination in these media will be addressed by the final remedy of the South Plume groundwater RAP. Groundwater monitoring wells, groundwater and soil vapor extraction wells, and related groundwater and soil vapor extraction remediation systems (collectively, “Remediation Systems”) have been and may continue to be installed within the Railyards as part of the remediation for the South Plume. As a result of long-term remediation, UPRR has ongoing operations and maintenance obligations within the Property with regard to those

Project No.: 185702567 7.1

RAILYARDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Evaluation May 14, 2019

Remediation Systems. The DTSC has concluded that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, access (i.e., for the person responsible for implementing operation and maintenance activities), and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. Prohibited activities generally include: drilling for water, oil, or gas; extraction or removal of groundwater without a groundwater management plan; and activity that may alter Remediation Systems without prior written approval of the DTSC. There are no prohibitions on any land uses that have been approved by the Specific Plan, including housing, parks, day care, commercial, and other similar such uses.

Opinion 1: Soils at the Property have been remediated and certified by the DTSC, with LUCs in place. The soil meets risk-based criteria established by regulatory authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls. Groundwater and vapor beneath the Property are undergoing remediation by UPRR under an approved RAP. Responsible parties have been identified and remedial efforts continue to be performed in accordance with regulatory oversight. Mitigation for soil vapor intrusion is required, unless otherwise demonstrated to the contrary in accordance with DTSC review and approval. Given the DTSC’s conclusion that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment, historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as the Railyards is considered to represent a CREC.

As evident in approved development projects at the Property, there are no significant impediments to future development through the implementation of appropriate institutional and engineering controls. Based on existing approvals, and the implementation of the approved soil and groundwater management plan, groundwater remediation beneath the Property does not impact the ability of development to move forward.

7.2 DATA GAPS

The federal AAI final rule [40 CFR 312.10(a)] and ASTM E1527-13 identify a “data gap” as the lack or inability to obtain information required by the standards and practices of the rule despite good faith efforts by the Environmental Professional or the User.

7.3 CONCLUSIONS

We have performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-13 of Lot 46, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of F Street and North 7th Street in Sacramento, California. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 2.3 of this report. This assessment has revealed the following evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the Property:

• Historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as the Railyards resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. Pursuant to a 1988 Enforceable Agreement with the DTSC, UPRR has investigated and remediated soil and groundwater contamination at the Sacramento Railyards. In addition, UPRR has certain continuing obligations under the 1988 Enforceable Agreement, including remediation of groundwater, soil vapor, and ongoing operation and maintenance responsibilities. The Property is situated with the northeast corner of the SSA. The Sacramento Station study area was granted certification from the DTSC (June 21, 1994) for remedial activities specified in the Final RAP; groundwater contamination at the site is being addressed as part of the South Plume Study Area under an approved Remedial Action Plan. A portion of the Sacramento Station soil study area (including the Property) was included in a LUC and Agreement dated August 28, 2015. The area had been investigated and contaminated soil was remediated under the DTSC’s oversight to cleanup levels that, along with adherence to the restrictions in the Covenant were protective of all populations for planned land uses, including,

but not limited to, commercial retail, industrial, hospital, school, daycare, mixed use, residential, and park use. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. To that end, a Railyards-wide Soil and Groundwater Management Plan has been approved by DTSC in 2015 in satisfaction of this requirement and is currently being implemented at all Railyards projects.

On February 7, 2019, the DTSC issued a separate LUC for the CSA. The DTSC approved a RAP on July 3, 2013 for the CSA and South Plume groundwater. Groundwater and soil vapor impacts beneath the Property are in the process of being remediated by and are the continuing obligations of UPRR, and contamination in these media will be addressed by the approved final remedy of the South Plume groundwater RAP. Groundwater monitoring wells, groundwater and soil vapor extraction wells, and related groundwater and soil vapor extraction remediation systems (collectively, “Remediation Systems”) have been and may continue to be installed within the Railyards as part of the remediation for the South Plume. As a result of long-term remediation, UPRR has ongoing operations and maintenance obligations within the Property with regard to those Remediation Systems. The DTSC has concluded that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment. The LUC generally requires a compliant soil layer over remediated native soil, vapor intrusion mitigation measures, access (i.e., for the person responsible for implementing operation and maintenance activities), and DTSC notice and approval of a soil and groundwater management plan prior to disturbance of either media. Prohibited activities generally include: drilling for water, oil, or gas; extraction or removal of groundwater without a groundwater management plan; and activity that may alter Remediation Systems without prior written approval of the DTSC. There are no prohibitions on any land uses that have been approved by the Specific Plan, including housing, parks, day care, commercial, and other similar such uses.

Soils at the Property have been remediated and certified by the DTSC, with LUCs in place. The soil meets risk-based criteria established by regulatory authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls. Groundwater and vapor beneath the Property are undergoing evaluation and remediation by UPRR. Responsible parties have been identified and remedial efforts continue to be performed in accordance with regulatory oversight. Mitigation for soil vapor intrusion is required, unless otherwise demonstrated to the contrary in accordance with DTSC review and approval. Given the DTSC’s conclusion that the site, as remediated and when used in compliance with the environmental restrictions of the LUC, does not present an unacceptable risk to present and future human health or safety or the environment, historical uses of the Property and surrounding area as the Railyards is considered to represent a CREC.

As evident in approved development projects at the Property, there are no significant impediments to future development through the implementation of appropriate institutional and engineering controls. Based on existing approvals, and the implementation of the approved soil and groundwater management
