Mr. Jeff Brown - 2 - J 2 May 2003 <br /> Safeway, Inc. <br /> Please be aware that although the GeoTrans Assessment states that tetrachloroethylene (PCE) <br /> was not detected in groundwater at the detection limit of 25 µg/L,PCE and trichloroethylenc <br /> (TCE)have been detected in groundwater beneath the Lincoln Center property, which is north <br /> and west of the proposed Safeway fuel center. The PCE/TCE groundwater plume is currently <br /> undergoing remediation by a pump and treat system. Hydraulic control induced by the Lincoln <br /> Center groundwater treatment system should contain the PCE/TCE plume north of the proposed <br /> Safeway fuel center. <br /> The GeoTrans Assessment also reported the potential for a waste oil tank in the northwest corner' <br /> of the property. A waste oil tank was not identified during the former Regal#603 site <br /> investigation and cleanup actions. The SVE/AS treatment system was previously located in the <br /> northwest corner of the property. Underground piping connected the SVE/AS treatment system <br /> to the SVE/AS wells, which were located to the south and east of the SVE/AS treatment system. <br /> The SVE/AS system and piping were excavated and/or removed prior to closure. No evidence of <br /> a waste oil tank was discovered during the construction of the SVE/AS system or during the <br /> removal. <br /> In general, it is not the intention of the Regional Board to restrict or inhibit the development of <br /> any property. The Regional Board would not pursue enforcement action against Safeway, Inc. <br /> for previously documented soil and groundwater pollution. However, the Regional Board may <br /> hold the property owner Lincoln Properties, Wickland Oil, and the former Regal #603 operators <br /> responsible to conduct further investigations and/or cleanup, if new information is presented <br /> identifying the need for additional remediation(i.e., the discovery of a waste oil tank). <br /> In addition, identification of any new pollution or any condition that exacerbates existing <br /> pollution, including a new discharge that commingles with existing pollution, would be the <br /> responsibility of Safeway, Inc. and Lincoln Properties. Subsequently, the underground tanks <br /> proposed for Safeway, Inc. will need to be monitored in compliance with monitoring standards in <br /> Underground Storage Tank Regulation Title 23, Subchapter 16, Article 3, to determine if a <br /> petroleum release occurs in the future. <br /> If you have any questions, please call me at (916) 255-3519. <br /> CORI CONDON <br /> Senior Engineering Geologist <br /> cc: Ms. Margaret Lagorio, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, Stockton <br /> Mr. Todd Paradis, Safeway Inc., Pleasanton <br /> Ms. Frances McChesney, Office of Chief Counsel, State Water Resources Control Board, <br /> Sacramento <br /> Mr. Duncan Austin, Regional Water Quality Control Board, Sacramento <br /> Mr. Tim Costello, GeoTrans, Inc., Rancho Cordova <br />
