Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 1.3 of this report. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The subject property, which consists of four office buildings, is located on the northeast side of Edgewater Drive in a commercial area of Oakland, California. The property totals approximately 10.6 acres and is improved with four two-story wooden frame, slab-on-grade buildings totaling approximately 204,616 square feet. The subject property is currently occupied by several tenants that use the property for administrative and educational purposes. In addition to the subject property buildings, the property is improved with courtyards, asphalt-paved parking areas, and landscaped areas. During the site reconnaissance, three 55-gallon drums of a non-acid disinfectant bathroom cleaner were observed in a janitorial storage area. No environmental concerns associated with the storage and/or use of these materials were noted during the site reconnaissance or during the review of regulatory records. Please refer to Section 7.1 for additional information. The subject property was developed with the current improvements from 1971 through 1973. Prior to the current site improvements, the subject property was undeveloped marshland that was filled with imported soils in the late 1940s or 1950s. The property was vacant until development of the current office complex in the early 1970s. Since construction, the current office plaza has been occupied for use as offices and educational facilities. No historical tenants suspected of using hazardous materials were identified. Contamination identified in the fill materials is discussed in the Findings segment below. The subject property was not identified during the regulatory database search. The immediately surrounding properties consist of the following: Direction from Site Address-Tenant/Use Northwest Drainage channel followed by Raimin Instrument LLC (7500 Edgewater Drive) Southeast BIR Polymers, Inc. (7750 Edgewater Drive) D.M. Figley Co. Inc. (463-465 Roland Way) Multi-tenant industrial (469-475 Roland Way) Northeast Key Source International (7711 Oakport Street) Multi-tenant industrial (7717-7723 Oakport Street) Hertz Equipment Rental (7727 Oakport Street) Southwest Edgewater Drive followed by: Office building (7699 Edgewater Drive) State of California building (7717 Edgewater Drive) The adjacent site to the northeast at 7727 Oakport Street was listed in the regulatory database as a Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) site, an Alameda County Contaminated Sites (Alameda County CS) site, and on several historical underground storage tank (UST) databases Project No. 315265 December 20, 2012 Page ii (HIST CORTESE, CA FID UST, SWEEPS UST, HIST UST). These listings are further discussed in Section 5.1. Based upon topographic map interpretation, the direction of groundwater flow beneath the subject property is inferred to be to the west. Based on groundwater monitoring data for the nearby site at 7101 Edgewater Drive, groundwater is presumed to be present at an estimated depth of less than 15 feet below ground surface (bgs). FINDINGS Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) are defined by the ASTM Standard Practice E1527- 05 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the property. AEI’s assessment has revealed the following RECs associated with the subject property or nearby properties: A subsurface investigation was performed at the subject property in 1991, during which 19 soil borings were advanced in the northern parking lot at depths ranging from 2.5 to 6.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). Analysis of these samples indicated up to 1,600 parts per million (ppm) total petroleum hydrocarbons as motor oil (TPHmo). A groundwater monitoring well was installed and sampled for the presence of TPHmo and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes). Very low levels of TPHmo and no detectable levels of BTEX were identified in the well. Further work was requested by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health Services (ACDEHS) to delineate the extent of the contamination and determine if the source was from 7700 Edgewater Drive. Additional subsurface investigation at the subject property and approximately 50 feet north of the subject property revealed higher levels of TPHmo in both soil and groundwater in the sample locations to the north. In 1991, the consultant proposed to the ACDEHS that the source of the contamination was from the fill materials brought onsite and not from onsite activities at 7700 Edgewater Drive. The ACDEHS concurred with this assessment, and stated that there was no guideline policy available from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) regarding contaminated bay fill. No further work was required in the absence of a guideline policy for contaminated fill. Historical Recognized Environmental Conditions (HRECs) are defined by the ASTM Standard Practice E1527-05 as an environmental condition which in the past would have been considered a recognized environmental condition, but which may or may not be considered a recognized environmental condition currently. AEI’s assessment has revealed the following HRECs associated with the subject property or nearby properties: • No on-site HRECs were identified during the course of this assessment. De Minimis Environmental Conditions include environmental concerns identified by AEI that warrant discussion but do not qualify as RECs, as defined by the ASTM Standard Practice E1527-05. AEI’s assessment has revealed the following de minimis environmental conditions associated with the subject property or nearby properties: • No on-site de minimis environmental conditions were identified during the course of this assessment. Project No. 315265 December 20, 2012 Page iii Business Environmental Risks (BERs) include risks which can have a material environmental or environmentally-driven impact on the business associated with the current or planned use of the subject property, not necessarily limited to those environmental issues required to be investigated in the standard ASTM scope. BERs may affect the liabilities and financial obligations of the client, the health & safety of site occupants, and the value and marketability of the subject property. AEI’s assessment has revealed the following BERs associated with the subject property or nearby properties: • Two historical occupants of the subject property, JKD Printing Service in 1990 and Mr. Copy Smart Document Solutions, Oakland, in 2010 appear to have been printing facilities. Printing operations can pose an environmental concern based on the historical use of solvents, metal-containing inks, and photo development chemicals employed during these activities. However, no hazardous material usage has been reported to the oversight agencies for the subject property, and the scale of printing operations within these businesses is expected to have been small. Further, no drains or other potential subsurface conduits were noted or reported within the subject property buildings, with the exception of within the bathroom areas. Based on this information and the relatively short duration of occupancy of each business, these historical occupants are not expected to constitute a significant environmental concern. • The subject property was inspected for the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in 1990. Tested areas included roofs, tenant improvements (taping and joint compound), fire doors, and 12” floor tiles. ACMs were identified in roofing materials, fire door insulation, and floor tile mastic. An asbestos abatement was performed in 1990 and 1991. Asbestos-containing floor tiles and spray-on ceiling material from the first floor bathrooms and the second floor corridor areas was removed in February, 1991, and approximately

  • The Oakland Tribune (Oakland
    The Oakland Tribune (Oakland, CA) August 17, 2004 Tuesday Muslim bakery leader confirmed dead BYLINE: By Harry Harris and Chauncey Bailey - STAFF WRITERS SECTION: MORE LOCAL NEWS LENGTH: 917 words OAKLAND -- A man found buried in a shallow grave last month in the Oakland hills was identified Monday as Waajid Aljawaad Bey, 51, president and chief executive officer of Your Black Muslim Bakery, police said. Police would not say how Bey, who assumed leadership of the bakery after the death of Yusuf Bey in September, had died. But Sgt. Bruce Brock said police are investigating the case "as a definite homicide." He would not say whether police think Bey was killed elsewhere before being buried at the site or was killed there and then buried. And while police are certain Bey was deliberately killed, Brock said despite a great deal of speculation, "we're not sure of a motive at this time." Some bakery insiders have feared that Bey's fate may be related to rivalries and a power play in the wake of Yusuf Bey's death from cancer in 2003. Although Bey never really discussed his Muslim activities with relatives, family members "are quite sure [the death] had something to do with him taking over" the organ ization, said a relative who asked not to be named. Bey's badly decomposed remains were discovered July 20 by a dog being walked by its owner on a fire trail that runs off the 8200 block of Fontaine Street near King Estates Middle School. Because of the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body, it was classified as a homicide at the time, the city's 46th.

Like the architect he always wanted to be, physician Sidney R. Gareld spent most of his life designing and building a model of a new kind of health care. Built on the foundations of group practice (as opposed to solo practice), prepayment (as opposed to fee-for-service), and prevention and health promotion (as opposed to sick care only), it was in many ways the opposite, mirror-image of the way health care was nanced and delivered in the rest of America. In partnership with Henry J. Kaiser, one of the great industrialists of the early 20th century, Gareld stood rm against waves of early opposition from mainstream medicine and went on DR. SIDNEY R. GA to build one of the most acclaimed and successful health care organizations in America. This book tells the story of Dr. Sidney Gareld’s long and eventful career in turning his desert dream into a thriving and enduring reality that continues to oer a practical model for the future of American health care.

  • Section Presents an Evaluation of the Potential for Increased Erosion, Sedimentation, and Runoff Due to the WTTIP Projects
    3. Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures 3.5 Hydrology and Water Quality 3.5.1 Approach to Analysis This section presents an evaluation of the potential for increased erosion, sedimentation, and runoff due to the WTTIP projects. The analysis of water quality impacts is based on field observations and a review of existing EBMUD permits for discharges. In general, implementation of the WTTIP would not have direct long-term effects on the hydrology or water quality of regional and local surface waters. However, short-term construction impacts could result in erosion and sedimentation or discharge of construction-related pollutants to local creeks, causing water quality effects. Diversion of flood flows could also occur. Operational discharges of chloraminated water could cause adverse water quality effects. However, through compliance with existing regulations and established project procedures, as well as mitigation measures specified in this section, construction and operational impacts would be less than significant. 3.5.2 Setting Surface Water Bodies, Drainage, and Flooding The WTTIP project sites lie within the regional drainage of San Francisco Bay; the majority of project sites are located in Contra Costa County, and one project is located in Oakland (Alameda County). Precipitation is variable between East and West Contra Costa County due to the county’s distinct topography and proximity to the California coast. The rain-shadow effect of the East Bay Hills and Mt. Diablo is evident in the average annual rainfall levels, which are highest just east of the crest of the Berkeley-Oakland Hills (33.75 inches per year) and lowest in East County (9.75 inches per year).
