Martin Metal Finishing Removal Action Workplan

The Martin Metal Finishing Removal Action Workplan is a remediation initiative led by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board in Stockton, California, aimed at addressing contaminated soils through excavation and offsite disposal. The project qualifies for multiple categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including Class 4 for minor land alterations that avoid impacting healthy, mature, or scenic trees; Class 30 for actions taken to prevent or mitigate the release of hazardous substances, specifically targeting regulated units of contaminated soil; and Class 33 for a small-scale habitat restoration effort under five acres designed to maintain, restore, or enhance local fish, plant, or wildlife habitats. None of the exceptions to these exemptions outlined in CEQA regulations apply, confirming the project’s minimal environmental impact. The workplan is part of a broader environmental remediation strategy with no anticipated significant disruption to natural resources or land use. Primary point of contact for the project is Jordan Robbins, Senior Environmental Scientist, with additional coordination handled by Ginny Heldebrant, Manager.
