June 7, 1995 - JTO submitted workplan to reenter sites of removed UST' s and take soil samples. September 18, 1995 - WJH submitted workplan addendum giving additional details of project . January 12, 1996 - Spoil pile was sampled by Wm. Hunter, RG, from Wm. J. Hunter & Associates. A sketch map showing the locations of the six samples is included as PLATE IV. The 6 samples were composited into 3 for analysis . The results of those analyses are summarized on TABLE I; laboratory sheets and chain of custody is included as EXHIBIT F. March 18, 1996 - Workplan & addendum was approved by San Joaquin County EHD; a copy of that document is included as EXHIBIT E. DETAILS OF WORK PERFORMED UNDER APPROVED WORKPLAN: On March 22, 1996, Jamie Thorpe, from Jim Thorpe Oil, Inc. mobilized a backhoe on location and began filling the west excavation with the spoil which had been stored on location since the tanks had been removed in 1989 . Laboratory analyses of soil samples taken from the spoil in January, 1996, were shown to be below detection limits for gasoline compounds. Those results are summarized on TABLE I; laboratory sheets, QA/QC, & custody chain are included as EXHIBIT F. Wm. J. Hunter, RG from Wm. J. Hunter & Associates arrived at 0950 hours to supervise the work. When sufficient soil had been returned to the hole, the backhoe entered the excavation from the west side and began removing a portion of the soil from the undisturbed area between the two tanks. The material was placed temporarily on the ground next to the hole. An odor of "old" gasoline was detected in some of the soil removed at around 12 ' bgl . After removing soil to a depth of about 151 , the geologist pushed a clean metal sleeve into the material from the teeth of the backhoe bucket, making sure that no headspace was present . The ends of the tube were promptly covered with teflon tape, sealed with plastic end caps, and thoroughly wrapped with duct tape. The sleeve was labeled and placed on ice in a sealed chest. A faint petroleum odor was noted while collecting the sample. The backhoe then removed some additional spoil, and another sample was taken at 16 ' bgl and preserved as detailed above. No odor was noted in any of the soil in the backhoe bucket or metal sleeve. The soil consisted primarily of tan to light brown slightly plastic clay, silty clay, and streaks of harder, lighter colored material . There were infrequent lenses of sandy, silty 3
