Report: Groundwater-quality Monitoring—April 15, 2003: 7500 West Eleventh Street, Tracy, CA. Page 2 operated by a number of entities. The property is also the site of a restaurant and a disused public truck scale. The locations of the fueling station infrastructure, the restaurant, and the truck scale are shown on Figure 2. Mr, Carl B. Navarra and Mrs. Annamae F. Navarra, et ux (the Navarras) purchased the t J property on October 31, 1979 from Ms. Meridall Sue Tiago, the widow of Joseph L. :+ Tiago, Jr. In 1980, Jack Anastasio and Jim Meservy leased the property. For the following two years it was leased from the Navarras by Charles L. Profito (d.b.a. C & M Truck Service). Jen Fisher (d.b.a. Tracy Auto/Truck Plaza) leased the property from January 1, 1983 -until January 31, 1992. Starting on February 15, 1992, the property was leased by Mel Bokides Petroleum, Inc. (Bokides), and was subleased to Mr. Jodha Singh ' Gill and Mrs. Tirath.Kaur Gill et ux (the Gills) who operated the Olympian Service Station on the site. That lease and sublease were relinquished by Bokides and the Gills, respectively, in late 1998, and the Olympian station ceased operation. No fuel dispensing or service station operations have been conducted on the site since that time (The San Joaquin Company Inc. 2001d). The restaurant on the property remains in operation and is leased from the Navarras by Able Manilla Mendoza and Guadeloupe Contrecias, et ux, (the Mendozas) who do business as the Casa Mendoza restaurant. In 2000, the Mendozas leased the rest of the site and plan to expand their business on the property. On December 9, 1998, eight underground fuel storage tanks and 6,000 linear feet of associated piping were removed from the property under the permit and oversight of the SJCEHD (Dietz Irrigation 1999a). The former locations of the fuel tanks are shown on Figure 2. ' When the tanks were removed, it was found that fuel hydrocarbons had leaked from underground piping beneath the fuel pump islands of the former fueling station. The former locations of the fuel pump islands are also shown on Figure 2. At the same time that the tanks were removed from the site, soil heavily affected by fuel hydrocarbons was excavated from beneath the pump island area and 521.25 tons of that material were disposed off-site at a permitted facility. In addition, some 2,000 gallons of floating product and affected groundwater were removed from,the subsurface by pumping from a tank pit into a vacuum truck, which was used to transport it to a permitted recycling facility (Dietz Irrigation 1999a). An initial phase of site characterization work was completed in May 2000. It included the installation of seven groundwater-quality monitoring wells (Nos. MW-1 through MW-7) at the locations shown on Figure 2. An extended phase of site characterization was ? initiated on March 25, 2002; it included the installation ofan additional eight groundwater-quality monitoring wells, numbered MW-3A, MW-313, MW-8 through MW-12, and MW-12A. It was completed on April 11, 2002, with a round of groundwater sampling and analysis that encompassed all 15 groundwater-quality monitoring wells by then extant on the site(The San Joaquin Company, 2002c). sic ' a
