30 January 2014 <br /> AGE Project No . 99-0682 <br /> Page 2 of 28 <br /> The Province has been filled to its present elevation with thick sequences of sediment <br /> ranging in age from Jurassic to present day, creating a nearly flat-lying alluvial plain <br /> extending from the Tehachapi Mountains in the south to the Klamath Mountains in the <br /> q north . The surficial and upper several hundred feet of subsurface layers consists of a great <br /> thickness of predominantly unconsolidated alluvial and flood plain deposits (primarily <br /> sands , silts, and clays) of Quaternary age, which are derived from the granitic mountains <br /> of the Sierra Nevada . Beneath the upper sedimentary deposits lies a thick sequence of <br /> marine deposits of Mesozoic age. These marine deposits are further underlain by a pre- <br /> Jurassic complex of igneous and metamorphic basement rock. <br /> The Province is subdivided into two major divisions , designated the Sacramento and San <br /> Joaquin Valleys . The San Joaquin Valley is drained primarily by the San Joaquin River, <br /> and the Modesto, Riverbank, and Turlock Lake Formations and overlying Recent alluvium <br /> are the principal sources of domestic groundwater in the 13 , 500-square mile San Joaquin <br /> Valley Groundwater Basin (Basin 5-22 ). The nearest surface water feature in the vicinity <br /> of the property is McCleod Lake, located approximately 1 ,500 feet southwest of the site . <br /> Based on the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation <br /> Service's Web Soil Survey map, surface sediment at the site area is classified as <br /> Jacktone-Urban land complex soil . The soils formed in fine textured alluvium from mixed <br /> igneous and sedimentary rock sources . The Jacktone series, found on basin rims and in <br /> basins, consists of moderately deep to hardpan , somewhat poorly drained soils formed in <br /> alluvium from mixed sources . The sedimentary units at the site are relatively horizontal and <br /> continuous . <br /> Based on quarterly groundwater monitoring events conducted at the site beginning in June <br /> 2000, groundwater has generally been encountered at depths between 24 feet to 35 feet <br /> below surface grade (bsg ) . The shallow and intermediate groundwater flow direction at the <br /> site has generally been oriented toward the east/northeast. Groundwater is considered to <br /> be of beneficial use and is used for domestic, industrial and commercial purposes . <br /> Based upon data obtained from San Joaquin County Flood Control District and Water <br /> Conservation District (FCD&W CD ) Lines of Equal Elevation of Groundwater Fall 2008 map, <br /> the prevailing groundwater flow direction in the vicinity of the site is estimated to be <br /> northeast. However, flow direction may be both locally and seasonably variable. <br /> 2 2 UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK REMOVALS <br /> Pn 27 May 1991 , one 3, 000-gallon diesel underground storage tank (UST) , one <br /> �JJ 3, 000-gallon unleaded gasoline UST, one 3 , 000-gallon leaded gasoline UST and one <br /> 0 Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. <br /> V <br /> � _i <br />
