SITE HISTORY
<br /> BOYETT PETROLEUM
<br /> 419 S.Main Street
<br /> Manteca,California
<br /> On November 20 and 21, 1996, soil sampling was conducted at the site by WHF, Inc., (WHF) under the
<br />' direction of Mr. Robert McClellon of the San Joaquin County Public Health Service, Environmental
<br /> Health Division (SJCEHD). According to WHF, on November 20, 1996, one soil sample was collected
<br /> from beneath each of the site's three existing fuel dispensers at a depth of approximately two feet below
<br /> the dispenser piping. On November 21, 1996, four discrete soil samples were collected to characterize
<br /> approximately 44 cubic yards of material stockpiled at the site. The four discrete samples were
<br /> composited into two soil samples for laboratory analyses. The soil samples collected from both the
<br /> dispenser locations and the soil stockpile were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as
<br /> gasoline (TPH-G) by EPA method 8015M, and for benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, total xylenes
<br /> (BTEX), and methyl tert-butyl ether(MTBE)by EPA Method 8020.
<br /> On October 5, 1998, WHF, in conjunction with Fisch Environmental Exploration Services, completed
<br /> two vertical soil borings, SB-1 and SB-2, to a maximum depth of 18 feet below ground surface (bgs)
<br /> proximal to the fuel dispenser island. Soil samples were collected at 5-foot intervals for soil classification.
<br /> Three soil samples were collected from each boring at depth intervals of 4-6 feet, 9-11 feet, and 16 feet.
<br /> One groundwater sample was collected from each boring from a depth of 18 feet for laboratory analyses.
<br /> On August 27 and 30, 1999, WHF, in conjunction with Frontier Drilling, completed four soil borings. The
<br /> borings, which varied in total depth between 26.5 and 36.5 feet bgs, were subsequently converted into
<br /> monitoring wells MW-1 through MW-4; depth to groundwater was reported to be at approximately 18
<br />' feet bgs. Laboratory analytical results of eleven soil samples collected from the borings/wells indicated no
<br /> detectable levels of petroleum hydrocarbons with the exception of MTBE, which was detected in MWA,
<br /> MW-3, and MW-4 at concentrations up to 200 micrograms/kilogram (pg/Kg). MTBE was detected in
<br /> groundwater samples collected from MW-1, MW-3, and MW-4 at concentrations of 2,700 micrograms
<br /> per liter (pg/L), 5,700 µg/L, and 140 pg/L, respectively. Tert-butanol (TBA) was reported in MW-1 at a
<br /> concentration of 98 µg/L. Tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME) was reported In MW-1 and MW-3 at
<br /> concentrations of 7.7 gg/L and 16 pg/L, respectively. Quarterly groundwater monitoring at the site began
<br />' in the fourth quarter, 1999.
<br /> WHF prepared the lateral Extent of Groundwater Contamination Work Plan, dated May 18, 2000,
<br /> describing proposed activities associated with the installation of four additional monitoring wells intended
<br /> to define the lateral extent of groundwater contamination. At the request of the SJCEHD, WHF modified
<br /> the work plan to include use of cone penetration technology (CPT). The modified work plan was
<br />' subsequently approved by the SJCEHD on June 9, 2000.
<br /> On December 20-22, 2000, WHF, in conjunction with Frontier Drilling, completed four soil borings. The
<br />' borings, which varied in total depth between 20 and 25 feet bgs, were subsequently converted into
<br /> monitoring wells MW-5 through MW-8; groundwater depth was measured at approximately 17 feet bgs.

<br /> hydrocarbons were not detected at or above the laboratory reported detection limits.
