On 12 November 2001, a section of piping was expose urmg underground <br /> pipeline modification activities and hydrocarbon stained soils were observed. The <br /> 25 February 2002 Soil and Groundwater Assessment Report submitted by IT Corporation <br /> discussed the results of soil samples collected from overexcavation activities performed in <br /> November 2001. Based on results in soil, Board staff requested an investigation to determine if <br /> the pollution in soil had leached to the groundwater. The Report discusses the installation of 10 <br /> temporary piezometers to determine if the groundwater is polluted. Groundwater samples from <br /> the six piezometers within 25 feet of the excavated area were non-detect for petroleum <br /> constituents and had low levels of total lead,which are indicative of background levels. <br /> Groundwater samples from the remaining four piezometers were not analyzed because of the <br /> non-detect results from the six locations that were the closest to the hydrocarbon release area. <br /> Based on the soil and groundwater analytical results, no further action is required. <br /> Nothing in this determination shall constitute or be construed as a satisfaction or release from <br /> liability for any conditions or claims arising as a result of past, current, or future operations at this <br /> location. Nothing in this determination is intended or shall be construed to limit the rights of any <br /> parties with respect to claims arising out of or relating to deposit or disposal at any other location of <br /> substances removed from the site. <br /> If existing, additional, or previously unidentified chemical constituents at the site cause or threaten <br /> to cause pollution or nuisance or are found to pose a threat to public health or water quality, then 1) <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Qa Recycled Paper <br /> The energy challenge facing California is real.
