Former Purity Oil site contamination (DTSC letter)
Rancho Cordova
Summary
A Department of Toxic Substances Control comment letter raised concerns about contamination and vapor intrusion at the larger project site. Staff explained no rezone or homes are planned on the flagged open-space portion, and the site's 2010 voluntary cleanup, land-use covenants, and 2021 soil management plan were all evaluated in the environmental review — which satisfied commissioners after close questioning.
