Hoge, Fenton, Jones & Appel , Inc. 60 South Market Street SEP �P�NEP� San Jose, CA 95113-2396 SEN v�SES Subject: Soil Investigation Report �R Jamina Investment Properties Acampo, California K/J/C 902510.00 Dear Mr. Casto: In accordance with our Agreement executed 15 June 1990, Kennedy/Jenks/Chilton is pleased to submit this letter report presenting the results of our soil investigation at the Jamina Investments Property located in Acampo, California. The report provides descriptions of the procedures used for sample collection and analysis, and laboratory results. BACKGROUND The Jamina Investments Property (site) is comprised of approximately 30 acres of agricultural land located at the corner of Woodbridge and Hildebrand Roads, near Acampo, California. Figure 1 is a plat map showing the location of the site (Parcel Nos. 25 and 58) . Approximately two acres in the southwest corner of Parcel 25 are planted with almond trees while the remainder of the land is planted as vineyards. The purpose of the soil investigation conducted at the site was to obtain information regarding the presence or absence of dichlorobromopropane (DBCP) in site soil . A sampling and analysis plan, dated 25 July 1990, for conducting the soil investigation was submitted to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division (SJCEHD) for approval . Because there had been no reported usage of DBCP on the property, the sampling plan was designed for collection of representative samples of soil from various depths. Sampling locations were randomly selected using a grid. The sampling depths were selected to obtain samples of soil where residual DBCP concentrations would be expected to occur if DBCP had been used at the site. DBCP uses were banned in 1977. Because DBCP is relatively volatile and soluble, it would not be expected to persist in surface soil . Therefore, sample collection depths of two to eight feet were proposed. The sampling and analysis plan was verbally approved by the SJCEHD on 21 August 1990.
