<br />    			UST REMOVAL ACTIVITIES
<br />    			Excavation and removal of three USTs, and associated product lines and dispensers were
<br />    			performed by Henderson Construction of Stockton, California on June 16, 1999.  The
<br />    			excavated USTs consisted of two 12,000-gallon capacity (gasoline) and one 6,000-gallon
<br />    			capacity (gasoline)USTs.  Tanks T-1 and T-3 appeared to be in good condition, with no
<br />    			apparent holes or cracks noted during removal.  Tank T-2 had some holes around the
<br />    			pull-rings caused by the excavator during the removal of the tank.  Excavation and
<br />    			sampling activities were observed and approved by Vidal Pedraza from the San Joaquin
<br />    			County Environmental Health Services.  Groundwater was not encountered within the
<br />    			UST excavation.  Historically groundwater at the site has been measured between 48 feet
<br />    			below ground surface (bgs) to 69 feet bgs.
<br />    			Soil Sampling—USTs
<br />    			On June 16, 1999, seven soil samples (designated, T-1N@13', T-1C@14', T-1S@14',
<br />    			T-2N@14', T-2C@14', T-2S@14', and T-3S@13.5') were collected at depths ranging
<br />    			from of 13-t/2 feet bgs to 14 feet bgs beneath the former USTs (Figure 2).  All soil
<br />    			samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons calculated as gasoline (TPH-g),
<br />    			benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, (BTEX compounds), methyl tert-butyl ether
<br />    			(MtBE)by EPA Method 8015/8020, fuel oxygenates (MtBE, EtBE, DIPE, TAME,
<br />    			TBA, and 1,2-DCA)by EPA Method 8260, and total lead.
<br />    			TPH-g was reported in one of the seven samples collected (T-3S@13.5') at a
<br />    			concentration of 5.15 mg/kg.  Benzene was reported as nondetect in all samples collected
<br />    			from beneath the fuel USTs.  MtBE was reported in five of the seven samples collected
<br />    			from the fuel UST excavation at a maximum concentration of 2.17 mg/kg by EPA Method
<br />     			8260 (T-2@14').  UST soil analytical data are presented in Table 1 and soil sample
<br />     			locations are shown on Figure 2.  Field and laboratory procedures are presented as
<br />     			Attachment A.  Certified analytical reports and chain-of-custody documentation are
<br />     			presented as Attachment B.
<br />     			Soil Sampling— Product Lines and Dispensers
<br />     			Between June 18 and July 8, 1999, nineteen soil samples (designated PL-1 through PL-10
<br />     			and D-1 through D-8 and one duplicate sample D-5)were collected at depths ranging
<br />     			from approximately 3 to 6 feet bgs in the area of the product lines and dispensers.
<br />     			Sample locations are shown on Figure 2.  All product line and dispenser samples were
<br />     			analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons calculated as gasoline (TPH-g), benzene,
<br />     			toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, (BTEX compounds), methyl tert-butyl ether(MtBE)by
<br />     			EPA Method 8015/8020, fuel oxygenates (MtBE, EtBE, DIPE, TAME, TBA, and 1,2-
<br />     			DCA) by EPA Method 8260, and total lead.
<br />     			TPH-g was reported in two samples collected from beneath the product fines and
<br />     			dispensers at a maximum concentration of 10.3 mg/kg (PL1@5.5').  Benzene was reported
<br />     			077.41741.500/PULL.DOC
