SBCC was contracted by the US Navy to prepare a Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) document for Installation Restoration (IR) Site 14. IR Site 14 is a former dry-cleaning facility that operated between 1945 and 1997. It is located at the former Long Beach Naval Station (LBNS) in Long Beach, California. The purpose of the FOST is to summarize how the requirements and notifications for hazardous substances and other regulated materials at IR Site 14 have been satisfied, and to provide documentation that the property included in the FOST Parcel is environmentally suitable to transfer. This FOST determination at the IR Site 14 Parcel included land use controls to prevent or limit unauthorized exposures to contaminants of concern in soil and groundwater. These restrictions ensure that post-transfer use of this property is consistent with protection of human health and the environment.

SBCC provided planning services that included a NEPA assessment for an 18-acre site. The purpose was to assess the environmental impacts of improving a splash pad and the water system as well as adding a pedestrian walking trail. SBCC performed site reconnaissance, interviews, research, analysis and preparation of a report. The report consisted of sections for traffic, biological resources, air quality, noise studies, hazardous materials, and community impact. Cultural and biological resource surveys were also incorporated into the report. The summary of findings and conclusions outlined the proposed actions, action alternatives and recommended mitigation measures. Two (2) Phase I ESA’s in compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and ASTM Standard E1527-13 criteria were also included in this work.
