A S S O C I A T E S I N C In April 1999, at the request of PHS/EHD, ATC completed a receptor survey for the subject property. ATC reviewed PHS/EHD groundwater well construction logs, Department of Water Resources (DWR) groundwater well construction logs, and conducted a site walk in the vicinity of the site to identify any groundwater wells located within a 2,000-foot radius of the site. This survey revealed fourteen wells located within approximately 2,000 feet of the site. The closest of these wells is located approximately 800 feet upgradient of the project site. The receptor survey findings are summarized in ATC's Well Survey for Andrew and Edith Trust, for the Property at 1112 East Harding Way, Stockton, California, dated April 9, 1999. On April 11 2000 a single soil boring {SB7} was advanced to approximately 65 ft. bgs to evaluate whether groundwater had been impacted at the subject site. Groundwater was initially encountered at approximately 45 feet bgs and a sample was subsequently collected from the soil boring using a Hydropunch® groundwater-sampling tool. In order to determine the vertical extent of contamination in the most cost-effective manner, the soil boring was further advanced to a total completion depth of 66.5 ft. bgs where field observations suggested the vertical extent of the petroleum hydrocarbons had been realized. Analytical results and field observations indicated that soil and groundwater beneath the location of the former USTs were impacted by residual petroleum hydrocarbon constituents. The vertical extent of impacted soil and groundwater appeared to be defined. However, the lateral extent of petroleum hydrocarbon constituents at or near the groundwater interface was undefined. Additional work to further characterize the extent of contamination was been requested PHS/EHD in correspondence dated September 20, 2000, On November 15 and 16, 2001, an ATC geologist supervised the advancement of three soil borings to approximately 54 to 55 feet bgs. Soil borings were then completed as groundwater monitoring wells MWI, MW2, and MW3. The soil sample collected from boring MW2 at a depth of 35.5 feet bgs contained the highest concentrations of TPHg, ethyl benzene, and xylenes. The soil samples collected from boring MW2 at depths of 30 feet bgs and 55 feet bgs contained only trace concentrations of TPHg, ethyl benzene, and/or xylenes. The soil samples collected from borings MWI and MW3 at depths of 35 feet bgs contained trace concentrations of xylenes and TPHg, respectively. The samples collected from borings MWI and MW3 at depths of 40 feet bgs did not contain detectable concentrations of TPHg or BTEX. MTBE, TAME, TBA, ETBE, DIPE, 1,2-DCA, or EDB were not detected in any soil samples collected from borings MWI, MW2, and MW3, though the detection limits were elevated in the MW2 sample from 35.5 feet bgs due to the high concentrations of TPHg noted previously. GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION Water level measurements were collected from monitoring wells MWI, MW2, and MW3 on October 14, 2002. Water level elevations ranged from—27.70 to—27.78, representing an average decrease in water table elevation of approximately 3.63 feet since July 2002. The water level data were used to develop the groundwater elevation contour map (Figure 3). Assuming that horizontal isotropic conditions prevail, groundwater in the uppermost aquifer beneath the site flowed towards the northeast.
