Benjamin Holt Drive in Stockton (Site, Figure 1, and SJCEHD Aerial Photograph 16), <br /> with a request for concurrence from the Executive Officer of the Central Valley Regional Water <br /> Quality Control Board (Regional Board) to the no further action required determination. <br /> I reviewed the Case Closure summary and the Site file, and do not concur with the closure <br /> recommendation. Below is a summary of the Site history (Attached SJCEHD Chronology) and <br /> my comments. <br /> Background <br /> Shell conducted quarterly groundwater monitoring at the Site (Figure 2) from February 1994 <br /> through April 2006, but did not conduct groundwater remediation. Groundwater is very <br /> shallow at this Site. The groundwater elevation varied from four to nine feet below mean sea <br /> level (The depth to water varied from four to eighteen feet below ground surface, due to some <br /> of the monitoring wells located in the off-ramp of the elevated Interstate 5). The inferred <br /> direction of groundwater flow varied from North to Northeast at an average gradient of <br /> 0.003 feet/feet. <br /> There have been releases at two locations at this Site: <br /> • Release #1, from a first generation (Gen 1) of USTs removed in 1987 and 1996. Shell <br /> reported low levels of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil in 1990, and also in groundwater <br /> in 1994, and <br /> • Release #2, from a second generation (Gen 2) of USTs installed in 1996 approximately <br /> 120 feet Southeast of the Gen 1 tanks and removed in 2004. Shell reported high levels <br /> of MtBE in groundwater, which increased three orders of magnitude from 1996 to 1997. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Qd Req cled Paper <br />
