SECTION 2 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING AND TESTING <br /> The soil investigation included the installation of four (4) direct-push borings from within or <br /> adjacent to site buildings, collecting two (2) sediment samples from two site sumps, and one <br /> (1) hand auger location from the onsite vacant field. The following sections describe the soil <br /> investigation activities. Figure 1 shows the site location and Figure 2 shows the approximate <br /> Sage sampling locations. The Figures are provided in Appendix A. <br /> 2.1 Target Analytes <br /> Based on review of the provided information and experience with similar properties, a testing <br /> program was developed to analyze compounds believed to have the greatest potential for <br /> being found at the site. The proposed sampling plan for this investigation included <br /> analysis of the following compounds: <br /> • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs); <br /> • Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH-E); <br /> • Pesticides; and <br /> • Herbicides. <br /> 2.2 Boring and Sediment Sampling Locations <br /> The original investigation sampling plan included eight(8) direct-push borings from within <br /> or adjacent to site buildings, two (2) sediment samples from the site sumps, and one (1) <br /> hand auger sample from within the vacant field located on the western portion of the Subject <br /> Property. <br /> Due to either interior access issues or a determination that the boring was not necessary, Sage <br /> only installed four(4)direct-push borings at the site and the two(2)sump samples were <br /> relocated based on information obtained at the Subject Property during the investigation. <br /> Soil samples were collected from depths of 14-15 feet in each of the borings(SB-1, SB-2, SB-3 <br /> and SB-4); from approximately 8 feet below surface grade(bsg)in the two sumps(NE Sump <br /> Field and Sump MW2 field); and from a depth of 1.0 to 1.5 feet in the vacant field(HA-1). <br /> Please refer to Figure 2 for boring/sampling locations. <br /> 2.3 RECs or Other Concerns <br /> Sage reviewed a Phase I ESA conducted by ENVIRON International Corporation in <br /> December 2012, in which ENVIRON did not identify any RECs in connection with the <br /> property. Based on the ENVIRON Phase I ESA findings the following issues were identified <br /> as either Other Findings or De Minimis conditions: <br /> Sage Environmental Consulting,L.P. 2-1 Westlake Chemical Company <br /> July 2013 Lodi,CA,Phase II Investigation <br />
