San Joaquin County Department of Health Services, <br /> Environmental Health Division (Files also contained <br /> documents of the California Regional Water Quality <br /> Control Board and the State Department of Health <br /> Services) <br /> U.S. Soil Conservation Service and Agricultural Bureau <br /> This record review revealed that numerous above ground and <br /> underground storage tanks exist within the surrounding <br /> commercial/industrial developments. The City of Stockton and <br /> San Joaquin County UST documentation is incomplete as a result <br /> of the project site being formerly San Joaquin County property <br /> (prior to annexation to the City of Stockton) , and the age of the <br /> community. There is a high probability that undocumented tanks <br /> have existed within the vicinity of the project site. <br /> Chemical releases to the soil and groundwater have been <br /> documented at numerous facilities within 2000 feet of the project <br /> site. No documentation of chemical releases, except as noted <br /> below, exists regarding the project site itself. Chemical <br /> releases considered pertinent to the project site are discussed <br /> below. <br /> Bell Distributing was cited for an unauthorized release on <br /> March 13, 1989 as a result of a failed precision test on the <br /> 6,000 gallon unleaded gasoline UST located on the subject site. <br /> The failed test occurred on January 12, 1987. The citation noted <br /> that the necessary repairs had been performed and that the tank <br /> passed the subsequent precision test performed on April 3 , 1987; <br /> however, a note at the bottom of the citation states that further <br /> site assessments will be required to determine the nature and <br /> extent of contamination as required by the appropriate agency. <br /> A letter from Precision Industries dated May 18, 1989 indicates <br /> that the apparent internal failure of the tank was caused by <br /> trapped air at the high end of the tank. Once the air pocket <br /> was released, the tank passed the precision test performed on <br /> April 3, 1987. Therefore, it was concluded that the said <br /> incident was not a chemical release. <br /> A remedial action and stipulation order from the California <br /> Department of Health Services to Kearney-KPF, dated August 21, <br /> 1987, states that Kearney-KPF has been listed in the Hazardous <br /> Substance Cleanup Bond Act Expenditure Plan (State Superfund <br /> List) . Numerous site and groundwater characterization studies <br /> have been performed for their site for closure of two surface <br /> -" impoundments and remediation of a Trichloethylene (TCE) discharge <br /> area on their property. Organic compounds including TCE have <br /> been detected in the groundwater monitoring wells located on the <br /> Kearney-KPF facility. A letter from the California Regional <br /> Water Quality Control Board, dated May 26, 1989, cites <br /> Kearney-KPF for violations and compliance schedule failures with <br /> _ 6 - BSI <br /> &ASsnci,tFt <br />
