Mr. Michael Infurna <br /> September 9, 1996 <br /> Page 2 <br /> SOIL AND GROUND WATER CONDITIONS <br /> On Page 6-1 of the site assessment, Geosystem comments that the concentrations <br /> of BTEX in the soil are low compared to the TPH concentrations. Geosystem <br /> indicates that this factor may be the result of the natural attenuation of BTEX in the <br /> 22 years since Shell occupied the premises. <br /> On page 4-5, Geosystem indicates that a gasoline leak from a nearby service <br /> station has impacted ground water in the area, but that the mild ground water <br /> gradient made it unlikely that the contamination had migrated. Since the water table <br /> at this nearby service station is at the same 28 feet below grade as the water table <br /> under the 1267 Country Club Boulevard premises, it is likely that the water table <br /> gradient precludes significant off-site migration from this site also. Viewed in this <br /> light, the investigation performed by Geosystem appears to address site conditions <br /> adequately. <br /> In view of the foregoing, the recommendations contained in the Lawrence Livermore <br /> National Laboratories and the Senate Bill 1764 Advisory Committee reports indicate <br /> that remedial action is unlikely to be needed at this site to prevent soil and ground <br /> water conditions from adversely impacting human health or safety. Therefore, <br /> further characterization of subsurface conditions would serve little purpose. <br /> We will await your reply before taking further action with respect to this site. May <br /> we please hear from you soon? <br /> Yours truly, <br /> Y7� <br /> T_ F.
