Recommended Action: Motion to: Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 3939, "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 17.56 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to the Huntington Beach Fire Code." Alternative Action(s): Do not introduce the Ordinance.

If the landowner chooses to clean-up the site using screening criteria specified in Table 2, the laboratory analytical work may specify the re-analyses of samples exceeding screening criteria specified in Table 1. The shelf life for the samples must not be exceeded when the re-analyses are run. The laboratory contract shall specify use of EPA Method 3630 as a clean-up procedure prior to soil analysis for CAPNA's using EPA-8270 if the 418.1 results show greater than 1,000 ppm. Samples representative of a specific site should be obtained consistent with a Phase I historical review of the site. The sampling frequency will vary depending on potential for on-site contamination. Sampling should be targeted at identified or suspected contaminated locations on the site. Sampling of areas not suspected to be contaminated shall be done on a random basis according to a Sampling Plan, which shall be approved by the Fire Department. The Sampling Protocol, both in terms of site-specific targets and other random sampling, should be formulated in cooperation with the Fire Department. The burden of demonstrating soil clean-up to established limits of contamination shall be the responsibility of the land owner. The Fire Department's approval of a Sampling Protocol shall be required. A Site Auditor shall be a requirement placed on all significantly large oil field properties and on smaller properties where a reasonable large number of contamination sources are deemed to remain unsampled following completion of the approved Sampling Protocol. The requirement for a Site Auditor shall be at the discretion of the Fire Department. Soil sampling shall be carried out using protocols approved by the California Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Manual and/or the Orange County Health Department. Analytical results, which may be inconsistent or anomalous when compared to other sample data taken as part of the site assessment shall be made a part of the record although the landowner shall have the option of providing additional samples to clarify inconsistencies. The number and location of these samples shall be determined by the landowner. 7. Specifications for Reuse of Crude Oil Contaminated Soils as Road Sub rg ade.
