OEHS received a letter from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), who concurred that the soil removal/replacement activities have been successfully completed.  The perimeter fencing restricting access to the lawn/landscaped areas can also be removed; however, it will remain in place until the sod is fully established.

OEHS is scheduled to receive the Lorena Street Phase 2 Soil Removal Activities report from its consultant (AECOM) by 1/13/2017.  Once received and reviewed by staff, a final version of the report will be forwarded to the Department of Toxics Substances Control (DTSC) for their concurrence and subsequent determination letter documenting completion of the District’s soil removal/replacement activities.

Sod was replaced on 11/30/2016.  Semi-permanent fencing was installed on 12/02/2016. The fencing will remain in place until the lawn is established and abatement activities are deemed complete by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).

Soil abatement activities were completed on 11/23/2016. Temporary fencing remains onsite and will be replaced with semi-permanent fencing following the installation of new sod on 11/30/2016.

Soil Abatement activities are scheduled to commence at Lorena Street ES on 11/19/2016 with removal/replacement activities scheduled for completion on 11/23/2016.

Soil from the one affected tree well has been replaced and the temporary fencing has been taken down. The District is working on scheduling the removal of soil in the larger fenced grass area. This work is anticipated to be completed by the end of the Thanksgiving break.

Work to remove soil at one affected tree well will begin this Saturday, August 27, 2017. The work is expected to be completed this weekend.  Soil removal activities at other fenced off landscaped areas will follow in the near future. The school and Parents will be notified before the additional work takes place. Please click here English Spanish to view the work notice.
