Re: Contaminated Soil Cleanup Project at 630 Chapala/25 West Ortega Street in Santa Barbara
Third Generation SB, LLC has applied to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) for a permit to excavate and remove approximately 300 cubic yards of soil contaminated by lead and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) located at 630 Chapala/25 West Ortega Street in Santa Barbara. Excavated material will be loaded on trucks for transportation offsite to a State‑approved disposal facility. The project site is within 1,000 feet of the property boundary of Fusion Academy, located at 510 State Street in Santa Barbara.
The District has included conditions in the Permit to Operate for this project that will minimize the release of emissions into the atmosphere during the excavation, handling, and transport of the contaminated material. Before our agency issues this permit, state law requires that we notify you, since you are either the parent/guardian of a student attending the schools or are a resident or business located within 1,000 feet of the site. We are providing you an opportunity to review and comment on this proposed permitting action. Further, prior to issuing the final permit, we will submit to the permit’s administrative file our written responses to any comments we receive during the comment period.
A copy of the draft permit document (Permit to Operate 16073) is available for review on the District website.
Please provide any comments to us within 30 days of the receipt of this notice at the address below (Attn: Caleb Wright, 805-979-8313, [email protected]).
