INTRODUCTION This Environmental Oversight Agreement (Oversight Agreement) is made between the City of National City (Agency) and the California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The Parties intend by this Oversight Agreement to establish a mutually beneficial working relationship and to cooperatively address Brownfields properties in the City of National City. The Agency and DTSC both share the mission to revitalize and reuse Brownfields properties to address known or perceived environmental contamination in order to provide significant benefits to the economy and health of surrounding communities. DTSC is committed to working in partnership with communities to restore contaminated properties to productive use, while ensuring that cleanups are protective of public health and the environment. The Agency intends to alleviate the causes and effects of blight through the construction of infrastructure improvements, improvement or construction of public facilities and public uses, promoting improvements in commercial, industrial and residential areas, removing or alleviating the negative effects of hazardous substances and improving, increasing and preserving the community's housing stock. The Oversight Agreement outlines two different scopes of work and broad approaches for DTSC to provide technical consultation, site investigation and remediation activity support. The intent of the Oversight Agreement is to establish a collaborative process that (1) provides a flexible process based upon the Redevelopment Agency's needs for the project; (2) ensures the investigation and cleanup are conducted in an environmentally sound manner; (3) requires a cleanup that results in a property that is safe for redevelopment; and (4) can provide liability relief for redevelopment agencies that complete the site characterization and cleanup process. Under this Program, DTSC can also provide consultative services to an Agency. The Agency will select the specific Scope of Work that it believes addresses its particular needs depending on whether the Agency is seeking (1) technical consultation only from DTSC, or (2) DTSC assistance and response and remediation oversight in cases where the Agency intends to proceed under the Polanco Act or other applicable laws as determined appropriate by DTSC (Exhibit C). Under this Oversight Agreement, the Agency may request (and pay for) services without any commitment to move forward with a project or a Property or group of Properties, and may request early consultation with DTSC, where desirable. 1.1. Purpose of Agreement. The purpose of this Oversight Agreement is to specify the process that will be used to evaluate Brownfields properties within the Agency's and DTSC's jurisdiction under this Oversight Agreement; to identify the properties that will be addressed under this Oversight Agreement; to facilitate the remediation of Brownfields properties and to provide a framework for the reimbursement of DTSC's oversight costs, and to assist the Agency and others in meeting the environmental requirements to obtain the immunities and protections under the Polanco Redevelopment Act set forth in Health & Safety Code §§ 33459-33459.8 (Polanco Act), and such other California and federal statutes as may be appropriate. 1.2. Parties. DTSC and the Agency are collectively the "Parties" to this Oversight Agreement. City of National City Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 3.of 19 1.3. Jurisdiction. 1.3.1. Agency Jurisdiction. The Agency has general delegated authority from the State Legislature to eliminate blight pursuant to the Health and Safety Code. In addition, Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (a)(1) of the Polanco Act authorizes the Agency to take any actions that the Agency determines are necessary and that are consistent with state and federal laws to remedy or remove a release of hazardous substances, as defined in Health and Safety Code section 33459, subdivision (c), on, under, or from a property located in a "Redevelopment Project Area," as defined in Health and Safety Code section 33320.1 (Project Area), whether the Agency owns the property or not, if any one of the conditions in Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (b) is met. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (c), even if the conditions in Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (b) are not met, the Agency may take actions to investigate or conduct feasibility studies or, if the Agency determines that the environmental condition of a property requires immediate action, the Agency may take actions to remedy or remove a release of hazardous substances. The Agency shall submit satisfactory evidence demonstrating its authority to enter into this agreement to contract with DTSC. Such evidence should include a resolution, motion or order confirming its authority. 1.3.2. DTSC Jurisdiction. Health and Safety Code section 25201.9 authorizes DTSC to enter into agreements to perform consultative services for the purposes of providing assistance in complying with chapter 6.8 of division 20 of the Health and Safety Code. Health and Safety Code sections 33459- 33459.8 and section 58009 authorize DTSC to take proper and necessary actions for the protection and preservation of the public health as required for the efficient exercise of DTSC's activities under the Polanco Act. 1.4 Properties.

The Public Works Yard planning to relocate its public Owned by: is made up of two works yard and redevelop the City of National City separate areas, designated as the "Facility -side" and the subject property to include residential homes. To assess whether chemicals of concern "Park -side" properties. have been released to the The Facility -side environment as a result of property consists of an historic land use practices, the approximate 4.6-acre City has completed multiple vehicle and equipment environmental studies including maintenance facility that a Phase I Environmental Site is located on the east Assessment (ESA) and Phase side of Paradise Creek. II Site Investigation (SI). In consideration of the City's intended redevelopment plans, DTSC worked with the Agency to conduct additional investigations to determine steps needed to ensure a safe development. It was determined that localized hotspot removal and a risk based approach to the City's specific construction plans would be considered. Note: This table was prepared by M. Tasnif-Abbasi on 7/6/2011 City of National City Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 10 of 19 EXHIBIT C REMEDIATION OVERSIGHT SCOPE OF WORK CITY OF NATIONAL CITY TOD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT The scope of work under this Oversight Agreement may include, but not be limited to, the tasks described in this exhibit. Please note that the scope of work may be modified based on Agency and Department discussions. Task 1 Property Mitigation Plan The Agency proposes submittal of a Property Mitigation Plan (PMP) to be used as a road map for project activities, consistent with the attached Schedule, for review and approval by the Department. This Plan will include additional, recently acquired data, summarize all existing data and investigations to date, and propose an overall plan for ultimate mitigation of environmental impacts at this site. Please refer to "Attachment 1" for a listing of environmental studies and reports for this site. The Agency expects to propose a PMP on a risk -based approach that will contain sufficient data to propose remedial action objectives and clean up goals, and will include an analysis of alternative remedial measures that could be used for this Project. The Agency will propose a PMP that will include the elements necessary to support its recommendations; including, for example, a risk evaluation and clean up determination for the future residential use of the Project site relying on removal of some impacted media, engineering controls to safely isolate site users from other impacted media, land use controls to advise researchers and future site owners and users about the types and locations of any impacted media left at the Project Site; with the necessary and appropriate level of analysis for the elements of a remedial alternative evaluation (sufficient to satisfy the need for a Feasibility Study); leading to a recommendation for Remedy Selection as described in Task 6. The Property Mitigation Plan (PMP) will describe and illustrate the nature and properties of the future site redevelopment project sufficiently to guide and inform the decisions required for Tasks 2, 3 and 4. The Agency will undertake its risk evaluation using DTSC-approved models, comparing risks at the site before and after implementation of risk mitigation measures, including soil excavation and offsite disposal, installation of engineering controls, and institutional controls. The Agency anticipates either including in the PMP or providing as separate deliverables information concerning: 1) Quality Assurance and Controls 2) Soil Management and transportation proposals 3) Site Preparation Plan, if required 4) Environmental Substructure and Spills Contingency Plan. The Agency shall also provide a copy of the Health and Safety Plan for the Project. TASK 2. Risk Evaluation and Cleanup Level Determination. If the Agency decides to proceed with a remedy or removal action, a scoping meeting may be held to discuss how the risk evaluation and cleanup level determination will be conducted for the Property or group of Properties. If appropriate, the Agency may conduct a risk evaluation consistent with U. S. EPA Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (EPA/540/1-89/002) and DTSC's Supplemental Guidance for Human Health Multimedia Risk Assessments of Hazardous Waste Sites and Permitted Facilities. This City of National City Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 11 of 19 evaluation should identify the chemicals of concern and potential routes of exposure; characterize the potential risk; evaluate potential risks to environmental receptors; consider existing and contemplated uses of the Property or group of Properties; and identify site cleanup goals. If DTSC agrees, this information may be submitted in the Remedy Selection Document or Remedial Action Plan or another document combining one or more tasks contained in this agreement. The parties recognize that, depending on the site characterization and the proposed remedy or removal action, a site specific risk evaluation may not always be necessary. However, the following information must be included in the remedy selection document: identification of chemicals of concern, remedial action objectives and cleanup goals and discussion of the derivation of the cleanup goals as appropriate. TASK 3. Feasibility Study. The objective of this task is to evaluate feasible remediation and response alternatives. If the Agency decides to proceed with the remedy or removal action, reasonable potential alternatives for the remediation of a Property or group of Properties and response to the presence of hazardous substances should be evaluated, including the "no action" alternative. Such an evaluation may be incorporated in the Remedy Selection Document, or may, if the analysis is complex, be addressed in a separate study or report. The evaluation should (a) identify the goals for the cleanup based upon current and projected future land uses; (b) evaluate feasible alternatives to meet these goals; and (c) recommend a preferred alternative. The feasibility study may be included in or combined with the Remedy Selection Document or the "Remedial Action Plan" or the "Cleanup Plan" or other document, as approved by DTSC. TASK 4. Remedy Selection Document. The purpose of the Remedy Selection Document is to summarize results of the site characterization, risk evaluation and feasibility study and to describe the remedial action or removal plan. The remedy selection may be entitled "Remedy Selection Document," "Remedial Action Plan" (RAP) or "Cleanup Plan" and may include other tasks described herein. The document will address all the components The document shall address the following: (a) a description of the site, site history, site environmental setting, and contamination; (b) a summary of the risk evaluation conducted, if necessary; (c) current and contemplated land uses of the Property or group of Properties; (d) zoning and general plan designation of the Property or group of Properties; (e) the goals to be achieved by the cleanup; (f) a summary description of the feasibility study conducted; (g) a description of the recommended alternative (including any required and/or suggested land use covenants, an operation and maintenance agreement and plan, financial assurance and other operation and maintenance requirements, as appropriate); (h) implementation and enforcement plan if operation and maintenance requirements are identified or if a land use covenant is necessary; (i) the name of the party, if not the Agency, who will be responsible for implementing and operating the final remedy, including any remedy requiring a startup operation period; and (j) an administrative record list. Within sixty (60) days of DTSC's written approval of the final RAP or Cleanup Plan, DTSC will acknowledge, in writing, that upon proper completion of the final RAP or Cleanup Plan, the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3(b) shall apply to the Agency. TASK 5. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). DTSC and the Agency will discuss what CEQA documents are necessary and who shall prepare the necessary CEQA documents, as well as the appropriate Lead Agency and Responsible Agency under the City of National City Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 12 of 19 CEQA process. DTSC and the Agency will work together to ensure that the proposed environmental document contains the information necessary for the Agency and DTSC to evaluate impacts from the proposed remediation. It is the goal of both DTSC and the Agency that the CEQA document be used by both entities in meeting their respective obligations under CEQA. If, however, for reasons specific to the Project, the processes cannot be efficiently combined, then DTSC will prepare its own CEQA document for the RAP or Cleanup Plan. If required, the Agency shall submit the information necessary for DTSC to prepare this document. TASK 6. Implementation of Final Project Mitigation Plan (PMP) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the Standard Provisions concerning endangerment during implementation, nothing herein will require the Agency to proceed with implementation of a RAP or Cleanup Plan with respect to any Property or group of Properties if it determines not to do so. The Agency will provide DTSC with written notice of the Agency's decision to either implement or not implement the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan. Upon DTSC approval of the RDIP (or RAP or Cleanup Plan, if the RAP or Cleanup Plan incorporates the RDIP) and schedule, and if the Agency decides to proceed with the remedy or removal action at a Property or group of Properties, the Agency will implement or will direct the implementation of the approved final RAP, Cleanup Plan, or RDIP, as applicable, in accordance with the approved schedule. At the completion of field work, the Agency (or such other party conducting the remediation or other response or removal actions with respect to a Property or group of Properties) will submit a final Implementation Report discussing the work completed and noting any deviations from the approved plan. Within 60 days of the date DTSC finds that a remedial or removal action has been properly completed in accordance with the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan, DTSC will notify the Agency, in writing, that the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3, subdivision (c) is in effect. This immunity extends to other such parties entitled to immunity pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33459.3(e). In the event that Operation and Maintenance is required, the Parties agree that the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3(e) shall be expressly conditioned upon the satisfactory performance of all responsibilities pursuant to Task 11 of this Agreement. In the event that DTSC finds that the remedy is not functioning properly and successfully, and performing as designed, or that the remedy will not attain the final performance standards or cleanup goals specified in the final RAP, Cleanup Plan, or RDIP (including the implementation and enforcement of institutional controls if applicable), DTSC will, as soon as administratively feasible, notify the Agency. TASK 7. Changes During Implementation of the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan. If during implementation of the final RAP, Cleanup Plan and/or RDIP, DTSC determines that additions, modifications or revisions to such document may be necessary to protect human health and safety or the environment or to implement the final RAP, Cleanup Plan and/or RDIP, DTSC will, as soon as administratively feasible, notify the Agency and the parties will determine the appropriate revisions to such document; provided, however, and subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 23 of the Standard Provisions concerning endangerment during implementation, nothing herein will require the Agency to continue to proceed with the implementation of the modified RAP, Cleanup Plan or RDIP with respect to a Property or group of Properties if it determines not to do so. The Agency and DTSC shall identify contact personnel so that any necessary changes during implementation that may be required as a result of field conditions can be resolved, if possible, through telephone communications or on -site meetings in order to achieve "real-time" decision making and avoid construction delays. The accelerated approach set forth in the PMP requires rapid decision making based on field data and analysis. TASK 8. Public Participation. (a) The Agency and DTSC will conduct appropriate public participation activities given the nature of City of National City Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 13 of 19 the community surrounding the Property or group of Properties and the level of community interest. The Agency will work cooperatively with DTSC to ensure that the affected and interested public and community are involved in the decision -making process applicable to the clean-up of the Property or group of Properties, taking into account the Agency's existing public participation capabilities and procedures. DISC and the Agency will strive to integrate the public participation activities associated with the RAP or Cleanup Plan with the public participation activities associated with the development of the Properties or group of Properties to the maximum extent possible. (b) A scoping meeting may be held to determine the appropriate activities that will be conducted to address public participation. If necessary, the Agency will then prepare a public participation plan for the Property or group of Properties that describes the proximity of homes and/or schools, day care facilities, churches, and similar uses; the current and proposed land uses within and adjacent to the Property or group of Properties; media interest; and involvement of community groups and elected officials. The plan shall also include a mailing list, identify appropriate information repositories, and specify the public participation activities that the Agency will undertake to provide opportunities for public involvement in site -related decisions. The Agency and DTSC will evaluate whether a fact sheet and public notices are necessary, as well as their content, distribution and circulation, and whether a public meeting is appropriate depending on the circumstances and the nature of the remedial or removal action, as well as any other public participation procedures. More specifically, the Agency shall collaborate with DTSC to consider undertake the following public participation activities to ensure active public participation in the Project: A. Assessment of Community Interest. The Project is of high public interest to the community. Creation of additional affordable housing uses and removal of blighting conditions are a key component of the Redevelopment Plan for this portion of National City. B. Participation of Other Stakeholders. The Project was initiated by the Agency, relying on its authority under the Polanco Redevelopment Act and the Community Redevelopment Law of the Health and Safety Code. Ultimately, the Project will require approval at various levels of municipal government, and the Agency will, in furtherance of its statutory duties, conduct further Public Participation activities as described herein. C. Approval of Project Activities. Approval of Project activities has been and continues to be taken by the Agency's Board of Commissioners, a seven -member body created under provisions of the California Community Redevelopment Law. Agendas for meetings of the Commission are published in advance and actions are taken in public session. Most actions of the Agency are also reviewed and approved by the full City Council, and the Mayor. D. Assignment of Agency Community Affairs Specialist. Public outreach for activities to be undertaken under the approved PMP will be assigned a coordinator who will coordinate as necessary with DTSC and be responsible for liaison with appointed and elected citizen participation groups and dissemination of information to adjoining property owners, businesses, and tenants. The Agency will coordinate with DTSC on public relations activities as necessary. E. Preparation and Distribution of Fact Sheet. The Agency shall prepare a Fact Sheet on the environmental conditions found at the site, and the cleanup activities proposed to be undertaken under the PMP, for presentation to and approval by DTSC. This fact sheet will identify Agency and DTSC contact persons who can provide additional information on the cleanup activities proposed, and will identify how interested parties can provide public comment on the proposed cleanup activities.

Prior to San Diego County an area of National City the date of acquisition, the Assessor's Parcel Numbers that is known as the subject property was (APNs) 559 124 05, 560-396- Westside Neighborhood. undeveloped. The City is 06, and 560-396-08. The Public Works Yard planning to relocate its public Owned by: is made up of two works yard and redevelop the City of National City separate areas, designated as the "Facility -side" and the subject property to include residential homes. To assess whether chemicals of concern "Park -side" properties. have been released to the The Facility -side environment as a result of property consists of an historic land use practices, the approximate 4.6-acre City has completed multiple vehicle and equipment environmental studies including maintenance facility that a Phase I Environmental Site is located on the east Assessment (ESA) and Phase side of Paradise Creek. II Site Investigation (SI). In consideration of the City's intended redevelopment plans, DTSC worked with the Agency to conduct additional investigations to determine steps needed to ensure a safe development. It was determined that localized hotspot removal and a risk based approach to the City's specific construction plans would be considered. Note: This table was prepared by M. Tasnif-Abbasi on 7/6/2011 EXHIBIT C REMEDIATION OVERSIGHT SCOPE OF WORK CITY OF NATIONAL CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION TOD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT The scope of work under this Oversight Agreement may include, but not be limited to, the tasks described in this exhibit. Please note that the scope of work may be modified based on Agency and Department discussions. Task 1 Property Mitigation Plan The Agency proposes submittal of a Property Mitigation Plan (PMP) to be used as a road map for project activities, consistent with the attached Schedule, for review and approval by the Department. This Plan will include additional, recently acquired data, summarize all existing data and investigations to date, and propose an overall plan for ultimate mitigation of environmental impacts at this site. Please refer to "Attachment 1" for a listing of environmental studies and reports for this site. The Agency expects to propose a PMP on a risk -based approach that will contain sufficient data to propose remedial action objectives and clean up goals, and will include an analysis of alternative remedial measures that could be used for this Project. The Agency will propose a PMP that will include the elements necessary to support its recommendations; including, for example, a risk evaluation and clean up determination for the future residential use of the Project site relying on removal of some impacted media, engineering controls to safely isolate site users from other impacted media, land use controls to advise researchers and future site owners and users about the types and locations of any impacted media left at the Project Site; with the necessary and appropriate level of analysis for the elements of a remedial alternative evaluation (sufficient to satisfy the need for a Feasibility Study); leading to a recommendation for Remedy Selection as described in Task 6. The Property Mitigation Plan (PMP) will describe and illustrate the nature and properties of the future site redevelopment project sufficiently to guide and inform the decisions required for Tasks 2, 3 and 4. The Agency will undertake its risk evaluation using DTSC-approved models, comparing risks at the site before and after implementation of risk mitigation measures, including soil excavation and offsite disposal, installation of engineering controls, and institutional controls. The Agency anticipates either including in the PMP or providing as separate deliverables information concerning: 1) Quality Assurance and Controls 2) Soil Management and transportation proposals 3) Site Preparation Plan, if required 4) Environmental Substructure and Spills Contingency Plan. The Agency shall also provide a copy of the Health and Safety Plan for the Project. TASK 2. Risk Evaluation and Cleanup Level Determination. If the Agency decides to proceed with a remedy or removal action, a scoping meeting may be held to discuss how the risk evaluation and cleanup level determination will be conducted for the Property or group of Properties. If appropriate, the Agency may conduct a risk evaluation consistent with U. S. EPA Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (EPA/540/1-89/002) and DTSC's Supplemental Guidance for Human Health Multimedia Risk Assessments of Hazardous Waste Sites and Permitted Facilities. This evaluation should identify the chemicals of concern and potential routes of exposure; characterize the potential risk; evaluate potential risks to environmental receptors; consider existing and contemplated uses of the Property or group of Properties; and identify site cleanup goals. If DTSC agrees, this information may be submitted in the Remedy Selection Document or Remedial Action Plan or another document combining one or more tasks contained in this agreement. The parties recognize that, depending on the site characterization and the proposed remedy or removal action, a site specific risk evaluation may not always be necessary. However, the following information must be included in the remedy selection document: identification of chemicals of concern, remedial action objectives and cleanup goals and discussion of the derivation of the cleanup goals as appropriate. TASK 3. Feasibility Study. The objective of this task is to evaluate feasible remediation and response alternatives. If the Agency decides to proceed with the remedy or removal action, reasonable potential alternatives for the remediation of a Property or group of Properties and response to the presence of hazardous substances should be evaluated, including the "no action" alternative. Such an evaluation may be incorporated in the Remedy Selection Document, or may, if the analysis is complex, be addressed in a separate study or report. The evaluation should (a) identify the goals for the cleanup based upon current and projected future land uses; (b) evaluate feasible alternatives to meet these goals; and (c) recommend a preferred alternative. The feasibility study may be included in or combined with the Remedy Selection Document or the "Remedial Action Plan" or the "Cleanup Plan" or other document, as approved by DTSC. TASK 4. Remedy Selection Document. The purpose of the Remedy Selection Document is to summarize results of the site characterization, risk evaluation and feasibility study and to describe the remedial action or removal plan. The remedy selection may be entitled "Remedy Selection Document," "Remedial Action Plan" (RAP) or "Cleanup Plan" and may include other tasks described herein. The document will address all the components The document shall address the following: (a) a description of the site, site history, site environmental setting, and contamination; (b) a summary of the risk evaluation conducted, if necessary; (c) current and contemplated land uses of the Property or group of Properties; (d) zoning and general plan designation of the Property or group of Properties; (e) the goals to be achieved by the cleanup; (f) a summary description of the feasibility study conducted; (g) a description of the recommended alternative (including any required and/or suggested land use covenants, an operation and maintenance agreement and plan, financial assurance and other operation and maintenance requirements, as appropriate); (h) implementation and enforcement plan if operation and maintenance requirements are identified or if a land use covenant is necessary; (i) the name of the party, if not the Agency, who will be responsible for implementing and operating the final remedy, including any remedy requiring a startup operation period; and (j) an administrative record list. Within sixty (60) days of DTSC's written approval of the final RAP or Cleanup Plan, DTSC will acknowledge, in writing, that upon proper completion of the final RAP or Cleanup Plan, the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3(b) shall apply to the Agency. TASK 5. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). DTSC and the Agency will discuss what CEQA documents are necessary and who shall prepare the necessary CEQA documents, as well as the appropriate Lead Agency and Responsible Agency under the CEQA process. DTSC and the Agency will work together to ensure that the proposed environmental document contains the information necessary for the Agency and DTSC to evaluate impacts from the proposed remediation. It is the goal of both DTSC and the Agency that the CEQA document be used by both entities in meeting their respective obligations under CEQA. If, however, for reasons specific to the Project, the processes cannot be efficiently combined, then DTSC will prepare its own CEQA document for the RAP or Cleanup Plan. If required, the Agency shall submit the information necessary for DTSC to prepare this document. TASK 6. Implementation of Final Project Mitigation Plan (PMP) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the Standard Provisions concerning endangerment during implementation, nothing herein will require the Agency to proceed with implementation of a RAP or Cleanup Plan with respect to any Property or group of Properties if it determines not to do so. The Agency will provide DTSC with written notice of the Agency's decision to either implement or not implement the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan. Upon DTSC approval of the RDIP (or RAP or Cleanup Plan, if the RAP or Cleanup Plan incorporates the RDIP) and schedule, and if the Agency decides to proceed with the remedy or removal action at a Property or group of Properties, the Agency will implement or will direct the implementation of the approved final RAP, Cleanup Plan, or RDIP, as applicable, in accordance with the approved schedule. At the completion of field work, the Agency (or such other party conducting the remediation or other response or removal actions with respect to a Property or group of Properties) will submit a final Implementation Report discussing the work completed and noting any deviations from the approved plan. Within 60 days of the date DTSC finds that a remedial or removal action has been properly completed in accordance with the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan, DTSC will notify the Agency, in writing, that the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3, subdivision (c) is in effect. This immunity extends to other such parties entitled to immunity pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33459.3(e). In the event that Operation and Maintenance is required, the Parties agree that the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3(e) shall be expressly conditioned upon the satisfactory performance of all responsibilities pursuant to Task 11 of this Agreement. In the event that DTSC finds that the remedy is not functioning properly and successfully, and performing as designed, or that the remedy will not attain the final performance standards or cleanup goals specified in the final RAP, Cleanup Plan, or RDIP (including the implementation and enforcement of institutional controls if applicable), DTSC will, as soon as administratively feasible, notify the Agency. TASK 7. Changes During Implementation of the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan. If during implementation of the final RAP, Cleanup Plan and/or RDIP, DTSC determines that additions, modifications or revisions to such document may be necessary to protect human health and safety or the environment or to implement the final RAP, Cleanup Plan and/or RDIP, DTSC will, as soon as administratively feasible, notify the Agency and the parties will determine the appropriate revisions to such document; provided, however, and subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 23 of the Standard Provisions concerning endangerment during implementation, nothing herein will require the Agency to continue to proceed with the implementation of the modified RAP, Cleanup Plan or RDIP with respect to a Property or group of Properties if it determines not to do so. The Agency and DTSC shall identify contact personnel so that any necessary changes during implementation that may be required as a result of field conditions can be resolved, if possible, through telephone communications or on -site meetings in order to achieve "real-time" decision making and avoid construction delays. The accelerated approach set forth in the PMP requires rapid decision making based on field data and analysis. TASK 8 Public Participation. (a) The Agency and DTSC will conduct appropriate public participation activities given the nature of the community surrounding the Property or group of Properties and the level of community interest. The Agency will work cooperatively with DTSC to ensure that the affected and interested public and community are involved in the decision -making process applicable to the clean-up of the Property or group of Properties, taking into account the Agency's existing public participation capabilities and procedures. DTSC and the Agency will strive to integrate the public participation activities associated with the RAP or Cleanup Plan with the public participation activities associated with the development of the Properties or group of Properties to the maximum extent possible. (b) A scoping meeting may be held to determine the appropriate activities that will be conducted to address public participation. If necessary, the Agency will then prepare a public participation plan for the Property or group of Properties that describes the proximity of homes and/or schools, day care facilities, churches, and similar uses; the current and proposed land uses within and adjacent to the Property or group of Properties; media interest; and involvement of community groups and elected officials. The plan shall also include a mailing list, identify appropriate information repositories, and specify the public participation activities that the Agency will undertake to provide opportunities for public involvement in site -related decisions. The Agency and DTSC will evaluate whether a fact sheet and public notices are necessary, as well as their content, distribution and circulation, and whether a public meeting is appropriate depending on the circumstances and the nature of the remedial or removal action, as well as any other public participation procedures. More specifically, the Agency shall collaborate with DTSC to consider undertake the following public participation activities to ensure active public participation in the Project: A. Assessment of Community Interest. The Project is of high public interest to the community. Creation of additional affordable housing uses and removal of blighting conditions are a key component of the Redevelopment Plan for this portion of National City. B. Participation of Other Stakeholders. The Project was initiated by the Agency, relying on its authority under the Polanco Redevelopment Act and the Community Redevelopment Law of the Health and Safety Code. Ultimately, the Project will require approval at various levels of municipal government, and the Agency will, in furtherance of its statutory duties, conduct further Public Participation activities as described herein. C. Approval of Project Activities. Approval of Project activities has been and continues to be taken by the Agency's Board of Commissioners, a seven -member body created under provisions of the California Community Redevelopment Law. Agendas for meetings of the Commission are published in advance and actions are taken in public session.

Upon completion of work and issuance of the DTSC Certificate of Completion or No Further Action Letter. Information notices will be distributed as follows: 1 The Project Area Citizen Advisory Committee. The CAC for the Project Area is the official advisory body for redevelopment activities. It consists of appointed community residents and business representatives. 2. Neighborhood Council, as needed 3. List of persons wishing to be kept informed. The Agency maintains an official mailing list of persons expressing interest in being kept informed of Agency activities and will mail or email the notices of Project activities to each person on the list. 4. Owners, businesses, and tenants within 500 feet of the Project site. The Agency will mail notices to all owners of record, and will hand -deliver notices to each business and tenant, with 500 feet of the Project site. 5. Signage. Prior to the start of any investigation or cleanup activity, The Agency shall place a sign on the Project site, noticing the activity and providing contact information. H. Additional Project Meetings as Needed. Depending on community reaction and comment to the Project activities listed above, additional meetings may be convened to provide opportunities for additional input into the cleanup activities proposed for the Project. TASK 9. Land Use Covenant. If required pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 67391.1, the Parties agree that the final RAP or Cleanup Plan will contain a requirement for a land use covenant imposing appropriate limitations on land use when hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous constituents or hazardous wastes will remain at the Property or group of Properties at levels that are determined by DTSC as not suitable for unrestricted use of the land. If DTSC determines a land use covenant is necessary, the Agency agrees to sign and record a land use covenant approved by DTSC, or if the Agency is not the Property Owner, the Agency will arrange for the Property Owner to sign and record the land use covenant approved by DTSC. The land use covenant must be recorded in the County where the land is located prior to DTSC's determination that a remedial or removal action has been properly completed in accordance with the final Remedial Action Plan or Cleanup Plan for a Property or group of Properties. TASK 10. Operation and Maintenance (O&M). The Agency will comply with, or arrange for compliance with, all operation and maintenance (O&M) requirements or other institutional control measures, in accordance with the final RAP or Cleanup Plan (if needed). The Agency shall designate in the final RAP or Cleanup Plan the parties that will enter into an O&M Agreement, or otherwise be responsible for compliance with all O&M requirements, prior to certification of the Property or group of Properties. Compliance with any applicable O&M Agreement, and any land use covenant or other institutional control measures, must be included as a requirement for any new owner/lessee in a purchase and sale agreement for the Property or group of Properties. Any party that is responsible for O&M shall notify DTSC of any transfer of operation and maintenance responsibilities at least 30 days prior to such transfer. DTSC may, at its discretion, require the transferee to enter into a new O&M Agreement.

INTRODUCTION This Environmental Oversight Agreement (Oversight Agreement) is made between the City of National City/Community Development Commission (Agency) and the California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The Parties intend by this Oversight Agreement to establish a mutually beneficial working relationship and to cooperatively address Brownfields properties in the City of National City. The Agency and DTSC both share the mission to revitalize and reuse Brownfields properties to address known or perceived environmental contamination in order to provide significant benefits to the economy and health of surrounding communities. DTSC is committed to working in partnership with communities to restore contaminated properties to productive use, while ensuring that cleanups are protective of public health and the environment. The Agency intends to alleviate the causes and effects of blight through the construction of infrastructure improvements, improvement or construction of public facilities and public uses, promoting improvements in commercial, industrial and residential areas, removing or alleviating the negative effects of hazardous substances and improving, increasing and preserving the community's housing stock. The Oversight Agreement outlines two different scopes of work and broad approaches for DISC to provide technical consultation, site investigation and remediation activity support. The intent of the Oversight Agreement is to establish a collaborative process that (1) provides a flexible process based upon the Redevelopment Agency's needs for the project; (2) ensures the investigation and cleanup are conducted in an environmentally sound manner; (3) requires a cleanup that results in a property that is safe for redevelopment; and (4) can provide liability relief for redevelopment agencies that complete the site characterization and cleanup process. Under this Program, DTSC can also provide consultative services to an Agency. The Agency will select the specific Scope of Work that it believes addresses its particular needs depending on whether the Agency is seeking (1) technical consultation only from DTSC, or (2) DTSC assistance and response and remediation oversight in cases where the Agency intends to proceed under the Polanco Act or other applicable laws as determined appropriate by DTSC (Exhibit C). Under this Oversight Agreement, the Agency may request (and pay for) services without any commitment to move forward with a project or a Property or group of Properties, and may request early consultation with DTSC, where desirable. 1.1. Purpose of Agreement. The purpose of this Oversight Agreement is to specify the process that will be used to evaluate Brownfields properties within the Agency's and DTSC's jurisdiction under this Oversight Agreement; to identify the properties that will be addressed under this Oversight Agreement; to facilitate the remediation of Brownfields properties and to provide a framework for the reimbursement of DTSC's oversight costs, and to assist the Agency and others in meeting the environmental requirements to obtain the immunities and protections under the Polanco Redevelopment Act set forth in Health & Safety Code §§ 33459-33459.8 (Polanco Act), and such other California and federal statutes as may be appropriate. 1.2. Parties. DTSC and the Agency are collectively the "Parties" to this Oversight Agreement. City of National City/Community Development Commission Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 3 of 19 1.3. Jurisdiction. 1.3.1. Agency Jurisdiction. The Agency has general delegated authority from the State Legislature to eliminate blight pursuant to the Health and Safety Code. In addition, Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (a)(1) of the Polanco Act authorizes the Agency to take any actions that the Agency determines are necessary and that are consistent with state and federal laws to remedy or remove a release of hazardous substances, as defined in Health and Safety Code section 33459, subdivision (c), on, under, or from a property located in a "Redevelopment Project Area," as defined in Health and Safety Code section 33320.1 (Project Area), whether the Agency owns the property or not, if any one of the conditions in Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (b) is met. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (c), even if the conditions in Health and Safety Code section 33459.1, subdivision (b) are not met, the Agency may take actions to investigate or conduct feasibility studies or, if the Agency determines that the environmental condition of a property requires immediate action, the Agency may take actions to remedy or remove a release of hazardous substances. The Agency shall submit satisfactory evidence demonstrating its authority to enter into this agreement to contract with DTSC. Such evidence should include a resolution, motion or order confirming its authority. 1.3.2. DTSC Jurisdiction. Health and Safety Code section 25201.9 authorizes DTSC to enter into agreements to perform consultative services for the purposes of providing assistance in complying with chapter 6.8 of division 20 of the Health and Safety Code. Health and Safety Code sections 33459- 33459.8 and section 58009 authorize DTSC to take proper and necessary actions for the protection and preservation of the public health as required for the efficient exercise of DTSC's activities under the Polanco Act. 1.4 Properties. Generally, the property or group of properties that will be the subject of this Oversight Agreement are within Redevelopment Project Areas of concern to the Agency. A map of the Redevelopment Project Areas located within the Agency's jurisdiction is attached as Exhibit A.

Owned by: City of National City The Site is the "Facility- side" property of the National City Public Works Yard, located in an area of National City that is known as the Westside Neighborhood. The Public Works Yard is made up of two separate areas, designated as the "Facility -side" and the "Park -side" properties. The Facility -side property consists of an approximate 4.6-acre vehicle and equipment maintenance facility that is located on the east side of Paradise Creek. The City has operated a public works yard at 2100 Hoover Avenue since 1973 when it acquired the property. Prior to the date of acquisition, the subject property was undeveloped. The City is planning to relocate its public works yard and redevelop the subject property to include P h Y residential homes. To assess whether chemicals of concern have been released to the environment as a result of historic land use practices, the City has completed multiple environmental studies including a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Phase II Site Investigation (SI). In consideration of the City's intended redevelopment plans, DTSC worked with the Agency to conduct additional investigations to determine g steps needed to ensure a safe development. It was determined that localized hotspot removal and a risk based approach to the City's specific construction plans would be considered. �x -� t ,' 4r a Note: This table was prepared by M.

Please note that the scope of work may be modified based on Agency and Department discussions. Task 1 Property Mitigation Plan The Agency proposes submittal of a Property Mitigation Plan (PMP) to be used as a road map for project activities, consistent with the attached Schedule, for review and approval by the Department. This Plan will include additional, recently acquired data, summarize all existing data and investigations to date, and propose an overall plan for ultimate mitigation of environmental impacts at this site. Please refer to "Attachment 1" for a listing of environmental studies and reports for this site. The Agency expects to propose a PMP on a risk -based approach that will contain sufficient data to propose remedial action objectives and clean up goals, and will include an analysis of alternative remedial measures that could be used for this Project. The Agency will propose a PMP that will include the elements necessary to support its recommendations; including, for example, a risk evaluation and clean up determination for the future residential use of the Project site relying on removal of some impacted media, engineering controls to safely isolate site users from other impacted media, land use controls to advise researchers and future site owners and users about the types and locations of any impacted media left at the Project Site; with the necessary and appropriate level of analysis for the elements of a remedial alternative evaluation (sufficient to satisfy the need for a Feasibility Study); leading to a recommendation for Remedy Selection as described in Task 6. The Property Mitigation Plan (PMP) will describe and illustrate the nature and properties of the future site redevelopment project sufficiently to guide and inform the decisions required for Tasks 2, 3 and 4. The Agency will undertake its risk evaluation using DTSC-approved models, comparing risks at the site before and after implementation of risk mitigation measures, including soil excavation and offsite disposal, installation of engineering controls, and institutional controls. The Agency anticipates either including in the PMP or providing as separate deliverables information concerning: 1) Quality Assurance and Controls 2) Soil Management and transportation proposals 3) Site Preparation Plan, if required 4) Environmental Substructure and Spills Contingency Plan. The Agency shall also provide a copy of the Health and Safety Plan for the Project. TASK 2. Risk Evaluation and Cleanup Level Determination. If the Agency decides to proceed with a remedy or removal action, a scoping meeting may be held to discuss how the risk evaluation and cleanup level determination will be conducted for the Property or group of Properties. If appropriate, the Agency may conduct a risk evaluation consistent with U. S. EPA Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (EPA/540/1-89/002) and DTSC's Supplemental Guidance for Human Health Multimedia Risk Assessments of Hazardous Waste Sites and Permitted Facilities. This City of National City/Community Development Commission Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 11 of 19 evaluation should identify the chemicals of concern and potential routes of exposure; characterize the potential risk; evaluate potential risks to environmental receptors; consider existing and contemplated uses of the Property or group of Properties; and identify site cleanup goals. If DTSC agrees, this information may be submitted in the Remedy Selection Document or Remedial Action Plan or another document combining one or more tasks contained in this agreement. The parties recognize that, depending on the site characterization and the proposed remedy or removal action, a site specific risk evaluation may not always be necessary. However, the following information must be included in the remedy selection document: identification of chemicals of concern, remedial action objectives and cleanup goals and discussion of the derivation of the cleanup goals as appropriate. TASK 3. Feasibility Study. The objective of this task is to evaluate feasible remediation and response alternatives. If the Agency decides to proceed with the remedy or removal action, reasonable potential alternatives for the remediation of a Property or group of Properties and response to the presence of hazardous substances should be evaluated, including the "no action" alternative. Such an evaluation may be incorporated in the Remedy Selection Document, or may, if the analysis is complex, be addressed in a separate study or report. The evaluation should (a) identify the goals for the cleanup based upon current and projected future land uses; (b) evaluate feasible alternatives to meet these goals; and (c) recommend a preferred alternative. The feasibility study may be included in or combined with the Remedy Selection Document or the "Remedial Action Plan" or the "Cleanup Plan" or other document, as approved by DTSC. TASK 4. Remedy Selection Document. The purpose of the Remedy Selection Document is to summarize results of the site characterization, risk evaluation and feasibility study and to describe the remedial action or removal plan. The remedy selection may be entitled "Remedy Selection Document," "Remedial Action Plan" (RAP) or "Cleanup Plan" and may include other tasks described herein. The document will address all the components The document shall address the following: (a) a description of the site, site history, site environmental setting, and contamination; (b) a summary of the risk evaluation conducted, if necessary; (c) current and contemplated land uses of the Property or group of Properties; (d) zoning and general plan designation of the Property or group of Properties; (e) the goals to be achieved by the cleanup; (f) a summary description of the feasibility study conducted; (g) a description of the recommended alternative (including any required and/or suggested land use covenants, an operation and maintenance agreement and plan, financial assurance and other operation and maintenance requirements, as appropriate); (h) implementation and enforcement plan if operation and maintenance requirements are identified or if a land use covenant is necessary; (i) the name of the party, if not the Agency, who will be responsible for implementing and operating the final remedy, including any remedy requiring a startup operation period; and (i) an administrative record list. Within sixty (60) days of DTSC's written approval of the final RAP or Cleanup Plan, DTSC will acknowledge, in writing, that upon proper completion of the final RAP or Cleanup Plan, the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3(b) shall apply to the Agency. TASK 5. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). DTSC and the Agency will discuss what CEQA documents are necessary and who shall prepare the necessary CEQA documents, as well as the appropriate Lead Agency and Responsible Agency under the City of National City/Community Development Commission Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 12 of 19 CEQA process. DTSC and the Agency will work together to ensure that the proposed environmental document contains the information necessary for the Agency and DTSC to evaluate impacts from the proposed remediation. It is the goal of both DTSC and the Agency that the CEQA document be used by both entities in meeting their respective obligations under CEQA. If, however, for reasons specific to the Project, the processes cannot be efficiently combined, then DTSC will prepare its own CEQA document for the RAP or Cleanup Plan. If required, the Agency shall submit the information necessary for DTSC to prepare this document. TASK 6. Implementation of Final Project Mitigation Plan (PMP) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the Standard Provisions concerning endangerment during implementation, nothing herein will require the Agency to proceed with implementation of a RAP or Cleanup Plan with respect to any Property or group of Properties if it determines not to do so. The Agency will provide DTSC with written notice of the Agency's decision to either implement or not implement the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan. Upon DTSC approval of the RDIP (or RAP or Cleanup Plan, if the RAP or Cleanup Plan incorporates the RDIP) and schedule, and if the Agency decides to proceed with the remedy or removal action at a Property or group of Properties, the Agency will implement or will direct the implementation of the approved final RAP, Cleanup Plan, or RDIP, as applicable, in accordance with the approved schedule. At the completion of field work, the Agency (or such other party conducting the remediation or other response or removal actions with respect to a Property or group of Properties) will submit a final Implementation Report discussing the work completed and noting any deviations from the approved plan. Within 60 days of the date DISC finds that a remedial or removal action has been properly completed in accordance with the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan, DTSC will notify the Agency, in writing, that the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3, subdivision (c) is in effect. This immunity extends to other such parties entitled to immunity pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33459.3(e). In the event that Operation and Maintenance is required, the Parties agree that the immunity provided by Health and Safety Code section 33459.3(e) shall be expressly conditioned upon the satisfactory performance of all responsibilities pursuant to Task 11 of this Agreement. In the event that DTSC finds that the remedy is not functioning properly and successfully, and performing as designed, or that the remedy will not attain the final performance standards or cleanup goals specified in the final RAP, Cleanup Plan, or RDIP (including the implementation and enforcement of institutional controls if applicable), DTSC will, as soon as administratively feasible, notify the Agency. TASK 7. Changes During Implementation of the Final RAP or Cleanup Plan. If during implementation of the final RAP, Cleanup Plan and/or RDIP, DTSC determines that additions, modifications or revisions to such document may be necessary to protect human health and safety or the environment or to implement the final RAP, Cleanup Plan and/or RDIP, DTSC will, as soon as administratively feasible, notify the Agency and the parties will determine the appropriate revisions to such document; provided, however, and subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 23 of the Standard Provisions concerning endangerment during implementation, nothing herein will require the Agency to continue to proceed with the implementation of the modified RAP, Cleanup Plan or RDIP with respect to a Property or group of Properties if it determines not to do so. The Agency and DTSC shall identify contact personnel so that any necessary changes during implementation that may be required as a result of field conditions can be resolved, if possible, through telephone communications or on -site meetings in order to achieve "real-time" decision making and avoid construction delays. The accelerated approach set forth in the PMP requires rapid decision making based on field data and analysis. TASK 8. Public Participation. (a) The Agency and DTSC will conduct appropriate public participation activities given the nature of City of National City/Community Development Commission Contract No.: 11-T1032 Exhibit A - Page 13 of 19 the community surrounding the Property or group of Properties and the level of community interest. The Agency will work cooperatively with DTSC to ensure that the affected and interested public and community are involved in the decision -making process applicable to the clean-up of the Property or group of Properties, taking into account the Agency's existing public participation capabilities and procedures. DTSC and the Agency will strive to integrate the public participation activities associated with the RAP or Cleanup Plan with the public participation activities associated with the development of the Properties or group of Properties to the maximum extent possible. (b) A scoping meeting may be held to determine the appropriate activities that will be conducted to address public participation. If necessary, the Agency will then prepare a public participation plan for the Property or group of Properties that describes the proximity of homes and/or schools, day care facilities, churches, and similar uses; the current and proposed land uses within and adjacent to the Property or group of Properties; media interest; and involvement of community groups and elected officials. The plan shall also include a mailing list, identify appropriate information repositories, and specify the public participation activities that the Agency will undertake to provide opportunities for public involvement in site -related decisions. The Agency and DTSC will evaluate whether a fact sheet and public notices are necessary, as well as their content, distribution and circulation, and whether a public meeting is appropriate depending on the circumstances and the nature of the remedial or removal action, as well as any other public participation procedures. More specifically, the Agency shall collaborate with DTSC to consider undertake the following public participation activities to ensure active public participation in the Project: A. Assessment of Community Interest. The Project is of high public interest to the community.
