14401, 12 June 2003 AGE-NC Project No. 03-1038 Page 2 of 5 southern portions of the Province have been designated the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, The Province is bordered by the Coast Ranges to the west, the Klamath Mountains and Cascade Range to the north, and the Sierra Nevada to the east. The Great Valley has been filled with sediments derived from both marine and continental sources. Thickness of the sedimentary fill ranges from thin veneers along the valley edges to more than 20,000 feet in the south central portion of the valley. The sedimentary formations range in age from Jurassic to Recent,with the older deposits being primarily marine in origin and the younger deposits being primarily continental. Continental-derived sediments were primarily deposited in lacustrine, fluvial,and alluvial environments with sediment sources being the mountain ranges surrounding the valley(Olmsted and Davis, 1961);the site itself is located on unconsolidated and semi-consolidated alluvium, lake, playa and terrace deposits of Quaternary age (California Division of Mines and Geology, 1977).Rocks composing the basement complex of the Province have not been completely defined but are believed to be metamorphic and igneous in origin. The Modesto, Riverbank and Turlock Lake Formations and overlying Recent alluvium are the principal sources of domestic ground water in the 13,500-square mile San Joaquin Valley Ground Water Basin(Basin 5-22).The estimated depth to ground water at the site is approximately 25 to 30 feet below surface grade(bsg)based on information from Lines of Equal Depth of Water Wells Fall 1999, published by the San Joaquin County Flood Control District and Water Conservation District- FCD&WCD. Based on the map titled Lines of Equal Elevation of Groundwater Spring 1999 also published by the San Joaquin County FCD&WCD, the ground water elevation is estimated at approximately 20 feet below surface grade and ground water flow generally toward the north. However,this may be greatly modified by local recharge and discharge patterns.Based on data from local ground water monitoring wells the depth to ground water is typically 20 feet bsg and the prevailing ground water flow direction is north to northeast, a gradient of 0.002 feet/feet. 3.0. SCOPE OF WORK AGE proposes to collect soil and water samples to determine if solvent-impacted and/or petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil and/or ground water is present beneath the site. The limited site assessment will include the following tasks: • Permitting and pre-field work activities; • Soil sample collection; • Grab ground water sample collection; • Laboratory analysis; and • Report preparation Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc.
