Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP <br /> 471 Marie-Victorin 50 Fremont Street <br /> Kingsey Falls, Quebec, Canada JOA 180 San Francisco, CA 94105 <br /> DOPACO, INC., 800 WEST CHURCH STREET, STOCKTON, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> REGIONAL BOARD CASE 391187 <br /> California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region (Central Valley Water Board) <br /> staff reviewed the Offsite Characterization Work Plan (Work Plan) received on 24 April 2014, submitted <br /> by Geosyntec Consultants (GC) for Cascades Inc. <br /> In the Work Plan, GC includes information regarding a meeting with Central Valley Water Board staff on <br /> 11 April 2014, with Cascades Inc. in attendance by conference call. GC states that Central Valley Water <br /> Board staff agreed to the following items: <br /> • "The CPT/grab groundwater investigation will be adaptive in nature—if B-zone samples exceed <br /> water quality objectives for toluene (i.e., the California Primary Maximum Contaminant Level [MCL] <br /> and the California Public Health Goal (PHG) for Drinking Water of 150 micrograms per liter[Ng/L]) in <br /> samples from the B-zone, deeper groundwater samples will be collected." <br /> • "Groundwater monitoring wells can be sampled on a bi-monthly basis to evaluate concentration <br /> trends over time." <br /> • "RWQCB will provide documentation acknowledging completion of soil excavation in the source <br /> area." The Central Valley Water Board staff letter dated 14 April 2014 addressed the soil excavation. <br /> We acknowledge that the meeting was held as stated above and we concur the above statements <br /> accurately reflect our discussions. <br /> GC proposed installation of one groundwater monitoring cluster consisting of one first water well <br /> (DMW-6WT) screened 10 below ground surface (` bgs) to 25' bgs, one shallow well (DMW-6A) screened <br /> 30' bgs to 40' bgs and one deeper well (DMW-6B) screened 60' bgs to 70' bgs. Four(4) Cone <br /> Penetrometer Testing (CPT) borings across Church Street to the north, northwest and west of the <br /> excavation will be advanced to approximately 130' bgs. The objective for the soil and groundwater <br /> investigation is to provide delineation of lateral and vertical pollutant impacts from the former <br /> Dopaco/Cascade facility. <br /> In the Work Plan GC proposes to collect three grab groundwater samples, at a minimum, from each of <br /> the four (4) CPT borings. The first grab groundwater sample is proposed to be collected from the B-zone <br /> and analyzed on a 24-hour turnaround from the laboratory, followed by the First Water zone and the A- <br /> zone grab groundwater samples. GC will take additional samples at deeper depths if Toluene exceeds <br /> the California Primary Maximum Contaminant Level of 150 micrograms per Liter in the B-zone. <br /> K#A%L E.
