IN-SITU SOIL CHARACTERIZATION REPORT <br /> Proposed Parking Structure <br /> 1517 N. California Street <br /> Stockton, CA <br /> 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> This report was prepared by Condor Earth Technologies, Inc. (Condor) to describe in-situ soil <br /> characterization and investigation activities conducted on May 9 and 10, 2005, at the St. Joseph's Medical <br /> �. Center proposed parking structure (Site) located at 1517 N. California Street in Stockton, California <br /> (Figures 1 and 2,Appendix A). The purpose of the work was to evaluate the soil for chemical constituents <br /> prior to removal of the soil from the Site. The work included the advancement of 16 direct push borings <br /> ,r and the collection of soil samples for laboratory analyses. This report was prepared at the request of <br /> Catholic Health Care West(Client), specifically at the request of Terry Spring(Client's representative). <br /> All work was conducted by Condor under the supervision of a California Professional Geologist. This <br /> report includes a description of the fieldwork and laboratory analytical results, and conclusions. <br /> 2.0 DIRECT PUSH BORING FIELD PROCEDURES <br /> V <br /> This section includes a description of Site preparation activities and direct push boring procedures. <br /> 2.1 SITE PREPARATION <br /> A drilling permit application was prepared by Condor and submitted to the San Joaquin County <br /> Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) for 16 proposed direct push borings. The proposed boring <br /> locations were marked with white paint and Underground Service Alert (USA) was notified 72 hours in <br /> advance of the fieldwork to locate and identify underground utilities in and near the work area. The <br /> SJCEHD was notified of the fieldwork schedule several days in advance. <br /> 2.2 DIRECT PUSH BORING AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES <br /> A Condor geologist was on Site to supervise the work. Prior to commencement of fieldwork, a tailgate <br /> safety meeting was held and a Site-specific Health and Safety Plan was discussed with, and presented to, <br /> all field personnel for their signatures. <br /> The investigation included the advancement of 16 direct push borings (B-1 through B-16) to collect soil <br /> samples on May 9 and 10, 2005, using a Geoprobe® boring and sampling system. The boring locations <br /> are shown in Figure 2, Appendix A. The direct push borings were hydraulically advanced using a two- <br /> inch outside diameter continuous core apparatus. The push rods were thoroughly cleaned before the <br /> boreholes were advanced using laboratory-grade, non-phosphate detergent and deionized water and <br /> double-rinsed with deionized water. Upon completion of the boring and sampling, the boreholes were <br /> backfilled with neat cement grout to surface. <br /> On the eastern portion of the Site, eight borings were advanced to a depth of approximately 12 feet below <br /> ground surface (bgs) (borings 131 through B8). On the western portion of the Site, eight borings were <br /> advanced to a depth of approximately six feet bgs (borings 139 through 1316). Soil samples were collected <br /> from approximately 3.5 to 4.0 feet and 8.5 to 9.0 feet bgs in Bl through B8, and from approximately 3.5 <br /> to 4.0 feet in B9 through 1316. Soil samples were collected from each boring using a 1.75-inch inside <br /> diameter, four-foot long core barrel fitted with a clean, single use, polyethylene liner.
