• During the removal of the tanks, representative(s) of San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department and Tracy Fire Department were on-site to observe and document activities being performed by Wright Environmental Services. • The tank was lifted by the backhoe on site and placed on plastic for cleaning off the exterior and identification. Then the tank and piping was placed on a transport trailer provided by Wright,for inspection by the County of San Joaquin Environmental Health Department Inspector prior to transport. • All excavated surfaces were inspected for evidence of leakage. Evidence of contamination was not found by visual observation in the former tank resting areas or sidewalls of the excavation pit area. • Tank, and Piping were removed and disposed of as required by County of San Joaquin Environmental Health Department(SJC/EHD) and"Procedural Guide for the Removal of Underground Storage Tanks" and other applicable regulations. • A backhoe was used to take soil samples under the supervision of SJC/EHD personnel by a third party sampler from GeoAnalytical. The samples were taken near the end of and beneath the tank. A soil sample was also taken from the former pipeline area. Soil samples were taken from the excavated soil stockpile and groundwater(GW) samples were also taken. • Samples were placed in clean brass sleeves with Teflon tape placed over each end. The sleeves were then closed with plastic caps over the Teflon Tape and tagged with identifying seals for time, location and depth and placed in an ice chest for delivery to GeoAnalytical Laboratory, along with the GW samples taken. Samples were then transported to GeoAnalytical Laboratory under proper Chain- of-Custody for analytical testing. The excavation was backfilled with"other" native soil onsite, properly moistened, and compacted,to within Y below grade (BG). No fill material was placed, spread,or compacted during unfavorable weather conditions. Excavated soil stockpile was covered with plastic and the site was secured by temporary chain linked fencing for protection and possible pedestrian traffic. • The excavation site was enclosed within a temporary chain link fence. The site was cleaned and secured.
