SAN DIEGO, Calif.— SCS Engineers has completed environmental assessment, abatement, demolition, and remediation activities at the former Pearson Ford automobile sales and service facility in San Diego, CA. The site was previously developed with approximately 10 buildings, which included an auto body shop building, service bay building, parts warehouse building, and various buildings used as offices.
The previous owners and new buyers of the property chose to work with SCS and enter the Voluntary Assistance Program with County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health (DEH). SCS conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, asbestos and lead paint survey, extensive subsurface assessment activities, and prepared a Property Mitigation Plan. SCS also prepared a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, and then demolished the site buildings and hardscape.
Once remediation activities were completed, SCS prepared a Property Closure Report. Upon review, the DEH issued a “no further action letter.”
Although specific or detailed redevelopment plans for the site are not known at this time, it is likely that the site will be redeveloped into a mixed-use project comprised of commercial, residential, and park uses.
Ryan Marcos of SCS served as Project Manager, Daniel Johnson served as Project Director, and Robert Gutzler served as Lead Geologist. Other SCS team members included Chris Spengler, Andy Zahurak, Cristobal Ramirez, and Ralph Vasquez.
