0 0 <br />Work Plan for Groundwater Investigation and <br />Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation <br />Field Maintenance Shop #24, Stockton, California <br />northeast, but had not extended to the facility boundary (URS, 2007). The report further <br />concluded that the lateral extent of contamination at the former UST site had been determined. <br />2.5. MARCH 2010 SITE INVESTIGATION (OTIE) <br />The site investigation conducted by OTIE in March 2010 included advancing five soil borings <br />that were subsequently converted to groundwater monitoring wells (FMS-MW1 to -MW5). The <br />borings were advanced using HSA and soil samples were collected at approximately five foot <br />intervals from each boring. Soil samples were analyzed for TPH-g, TPH-d, VOCs including <br />BTEX and fuel oxygenates, and total lead. Groundwater samples collected from the monitoring <br />wells after installation and development were analyzed for TPH-g, TPH-d, and VOCs including <br />BTEX and fuel oxygenates. The locations of each boring and subsequent monitoring well are <br />depicted on Figure 3. <br />The key findings associated with implementation of the 2010 soil and groundwater investigation <br />are summarized below: <br />• Physical soil conditions were shown to be generally consistent with the findings from <br />previous site investigations, as documented in the 2004 Versar and 2007 URS reports, <br />and indicate that the shallow first water bearing zone (35-40 feet bgs) is dominated by <br />interbedded sand units within fat clays and silty/sandy clays. <br />• Lead was detected at generally low (below any potentially applicable regulatory <br />standard) and consistent concentrations in all soil samples collected during the <br />investigation. <br />• Although trace concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon constituents and/or select <br />VOCs were detected intermittently in samples from soil borings for each of the <br />groundwater monitoring wells, only soil samples from the boring for well FMS-MW5 <br />(within the immediate vicinity of the former USTs) indicated marked impacts from <br />petroleum hydrocarbons. <br />• The most significant impacts from petroleum hydrocarbon constituents documented in <br />soil samples from the boring for well MW -5, as indicated above, were generally in <br />samples at or near the occurrence of first groundwater (35-45 feet bgs), and included <br />exceedances of potentially applicable regulatory standards for TPH-d, TPH-g, benzene, <br />and/or ethylbenzene. <br />• Groundwater elevations resulting from surveyed well datum elevations indicate that the <br />generally east/northeast direction of groundwater flow presumed in the 2007 URS report <br />is correct, that the gradient is relatively low (0.0015), and that no evidence of separate <br />phase hydrocarbons (SPH) exists on the groundwater. <br />• With the exception of upgradient well FMS-MW1, groundwater samples collected in <br />association with groundwater monitoring well installation activities during the First <br />Quarter 2010 monitoring event indicate that groundwater has been impacted with <br />petroleum hydrocarbon constituents and related VOCs at concentrations that exceed <br />potentially applicable regulatory standards. <br />2.6. 2010-2011 QUARTERLY GROUNDWATER MONITORING (OTIE) <br />Subsequent to monitoring well installation in March 2010, OTIE performed four quarters of <br />groundwater gauging and sampling at the site between April 2010 and February 2011.
