<br /> 1.3 Previous Work '
<br /> A 12,000-gallon UST that contained diesel fuel was located at the'site. The UST and associated
<br /> underground and aboveground piping and dispensers were installed in 1988. Foss excavated and
<br /> removed the dispensers and associated fuel piping during,the week of October 14 through 18,
<br /> 2002 and removed the UST on October 21, 2002. Representatives of the Stockton Fire
<br /> Department and San Joaquin County Department of Environmental Health observed the removal
<br /> of the UST.
<br /> I
<br /> Hygienetics Environmental Services, Inc. (Hygienetics) collected a total of seven soil samples at
<br /> locations beneath the tank pipelines, and dispensers shorty after'iank removal. These samples
<br /> SPP sP - P
<br /> were submitted to a state-certified laboratory for analysis llfor total petroleum hydrocarbons as
<br /> diesel (TPHd) and the aromatic hydrocarbons benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes
<br /> (BTEX). The results of laboratory analysis showed no detectable concentrations of TPHd or
<br /> BTEX in three soil samples collected from the UST pit and Sone soil sample collected beneath the
<br /> former location of the northern satellite fuel dispenser. 2� total 'of 42 parts per million (ppm)
<br /> TPHd was detected beneath the former location of the southern satellite fuel dispe-er, 1,700 ppm
<br /> TPHd was detected in soil beneath the former location of the central junction of the fuel piping
<br /> running to the two satellite fuel dispensers, and 2,400 ppm TPHd was detected in soil beneath the
<br /> location of the fuel su 1ylinee.. No BTEX was found in the latter'jthree samples. The laboratory l
<br /> report notes that oil-range petroleum hydrocarbons were significant in the three samples, which
<br /> may indicate weathered diesel fuel. Plate 2 presents the configuration of the excavation and the
<br /> locations at which soil samples were collected. Concentrations of TPHd are also noted next to
<br /> each sample. '
<br /> 1.4 Geology and Ground Water !�
<br /> 1.4.1 Geology !
<br /> I�
<br /> The site is within the Great Valley Geomorphic Province in central California. Primary
<br /> geomorphic units with the province include dissected uplands, low alluvial plains and fans, river
<br /> flood plains and channels, and overflow lands and lake bottoms. Stockton and the site lie within
<br /> the river flood plains and channels geomorphic units. _.
<br /> Rocks and unconsolidated sediments underlying the site and vicinity.include Pre-Tertiary-age marine
<br /> rocks and Paleocene- to Oligocene-age (early Tertiary)'I' continental and marine rocks and
<br /> unconsolidated sediments, Oligocene- to Holocene-age (middle to Mate Tertiary) continental rocks
<br />' and unconsolidated sediments, and Holocene-age (late Tertiary) flood basin deposits. The pre-
<br /> Tertiary to early Tertiary marine rocks and deposits include clay,shale,sandstone, and conglomerate
<br /> and the continental rocks and deposits include clay, shale, sand,sandstone, and conglomerate. These
<br /> units underlie the Stockton area from approximately 3,600 feet togr eater than 9,000 feet below the
<br /> ground surface. Continental rocks and deposits,which underlie the site from approximately 100 feet
<br /> to 3,600 feet below the ground surface, include a heterogeneous mix of generally poorly sorted clay,
<br /> silt, sand, and gravel, with some beds of claystone, siltstone,!sandstone, and conglomerate. Flood-
<br /> basin deposits, which are from the ground surface to as much as 100 feet below grade, consist of
<br /> unconsolidated units of clay, silt,and some sand(see Page, 1986). E
<br /> ;g
<br /> ! Shallow sediments observed during removal of the UST included dark brown, high plasticity, silty
<br /> f' clay between 1 foot and approximately 4'/z feet below grade and yellow-brown silt between 4%z and
