w <br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> J. M. EQUIPMENT <br /> 1245 West Charter Way <br /> Stockton, California <br /> Since the early 1970's, J.M. Equipment has operated an equipment <br /> sales and service building at the 1245 West Charter Way location. <br /> The previous owner operated a John Deer facility and installed two <br /> underground storage tanks for gasoline and diesel in the early 1970's, <br /> which were removed in the early 1980's. During the investigation of <br /> the Independent Trucking facility (1145 West Charter Way), soil and <br /> groundwater contamination was found at the J.M. Equipment site. <br /> Further Soil and groundwater sampling indicated that a release had <br /> occurred. The responsible parties (J.M. Equipment and Geo <br /> Properties Inc.) were required to investigate the extent of the release <br /> and clean up the site. <br /> To address the contamination, four large diameter borings will be <br /> installed and backfilled with pea gravel around a well casing that will <br /> allow air (oxygen) to enter the soils, which will help to reduce <br /> contamination. As needed, air or other compounds could be <br /> introduced through the wells to speed up the process. It is expected <br /> that the cleanup will take 24 months. The impact to the public for this <br /> work is minimal, as site work is on private property under agency <br /> oversight. <br /> When the contamination is cleaned up, the site will continue to be <br /> used for commercial purposes. <br />
