AB 972 (Calderon) became effective October 13, 2001. This bill changed the Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) public review and approval process. These changes are not yet reflected on this website. Please contact the SFPD representative assigned to your county, or the DTSC, for more information on the effects of AB 972. This website is being updated to reflect the changes made by AB 972 and AB 1367 (Wiggins). AB 1367 takes effect on January 1, 2002.
Below is some basic information about the PEA process.
The PEA involves:
- Completing the assessment and required documents
- Obtaining Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) PEA approval ("No Further Action" letter)
- Developing a Response Action (RA), if further investigation and/or cleanup/remediation is required
Your school district has:
No one. Your district already must have contracted with a qualified environmental assessor to prepare the previous Phase 1. Any person who conducts a PEA must have at least three years' experience.
Your school district must complete a PEA only if the Phase 1 or DTSC concluded that further investigation of the site was necessary.
If your district received a "No Action Letter" from the DTSC in response to your Phase 1, your district does not need to do a PEA.
The Education Code requires that the DTSC be involved in the preparation of and evaluation of the PEA.
The DTSC must complete its review and respond within 60 calendar days of receiving the PEA.
