Soil samples were obtained at five ( 5 ) foot intervals during drilling of the UST borings, through the use of a split-barrel sampler advanced into the undisturbed soil by a 140 pound hammer repeatedly falling 30 inches. Pre-cleaned stainless steel liners were placed in the sampler to retain the soil. The blow counts necessary to advance the sampler were recorded for each 6-inch interval. Drilling and sampling equipment was thoroughly steam cleaned before drilling to prevent the introduction of off-site contamination. The sampling equipment was cleaned between samples by washing and rinsing in a hot water bath. The soil samples were immediately sealed in the liners using teflon tape and plastic caps, labeled, and immediately placed on ice for transport to our laboratory under chain-of-custody documentation. Soil cuttings derived from the boring were contained and are currently stored on-site. The disposal of the soils remains the responsibility of the property owner. The borings were backfilled with a cement slurry under the direct observation of San Joaquin County Department Of Environmental Health personnel. The soil samples were submitted to our laboratory for analytical testing for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (gasoline and diesel) , Total Volatile Hydrocarbons, as well as Volatiles and Extractable Organics in the gravel-surfaced storage area. The results of the laboratory testing, along with the chain-of-custody forms, are presented as Figures 10 through 25. The chemical test results do not indicate the presence of Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Volatiles and Extractable Organics in the site soil samples tested. The soils at the site, as encountered in our borings, consisted of alluvial sand, silt, and silty sand with thin interbedded lenses of gravelly sand, and clayey silt. Groundwater was not encountered during drilling. Based on information obtained from the subsurface investigation performed at the Kearney-KPF facility ( located immediately north- northwest of the project site) , shallow groundwater exists in the vicinity of the project site at depths ranging from 35 to 49 feet below ground surface. SURROUNDING LAND USE The surrounding land is characterized as commercial and industrial although some residential properties are located to the northwest and southeast ( see Figure 26) . The adjacent properties consist of storage-distribution facilities, industrial and manufacturing complexes, and vacant land. The properties immediately to the east and west of the project site consist of undeveloped land. _ 4 - BSI
