Community

The property is located at 1224 D Street, Sacramento, California in the Alkali Hat
neighborhood, which is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. The
Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency, a government agency with a
mission of revitalizing communities and providing affordable housing
opportunities, seeks to redevelop the property as affordable housing. EPA works with
local governments to encourage revitalization in economically challenged areas.

Property Information

The property is located in an urban area with a mix of residential homes,
apartment buildings, and commercial businesses. Prior to 1915, the site was developed
with a two-story stable. Between 1915 and 1930 a two-story house replaced the stable.
This house was demolished in 1982, and the property has since remained vacant.

Technical Assistance

EPA provides technical assistance to research historic property uses, conduct
environmental sampling and identify cleanup options and costs. An EPA-
funded environmental assessment was conducted to assess the property for
contaminants of concern, including asbestos, volatile organic compounds, and
metals. Lead was found above the human health screening level in soil throughout
the site. Recommendation: Brownfields cleanup alternatives identified for
this property include soil excavation, confirmation sampling, and offsite disposal.

Future Use

The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency plans to redevelop the
property with affordable single-family or multi-family homes. The property is located
adjacent to an existing light rail line, and the new housing will benefit the community
by increasing transit-accessible affordable housing in the area.
