Ms.Kristi Shelton <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> CONCLUSIONS <br /> • The release/leak consisted of only petroleum. <br /> • The source of the contamination has been removed. <br /> • The release/leak did not occur in fractured bedrock. <br /> • The area is serviced by a public water system. <br /> • There is no free product. <br /> • The plume has been delineated as discussed in Ground Zero's Response to RWQCB <br /> Comments and Request for Case Closure dated September 22, 2010. The plume is not within <br /> 250 feet from the nearest drinking water well and does not exceed 250 feet from the source of <br /> release. <br /> o Benzene has typically ranged from below detection limits of 0.5 gg/L to 1.7 gg/L. With <br /> one anomalous result of 54 gg/L from the February 17, 2010 monitoring event. With the <br /> one exception,the benzene plume is stable. <br /> o Toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, MtBE, and TBA have never exceeded their respective <br /> MCLs. <br /> o Based on data from groundwater monitoring wells, there is no gross contamination of <br /> petroleum hydrocarbons. <br /> o TPHg has not exceeded 480 gg/L; and <br /> o TPHd has not exceeded 1,400 gg/L. <br /> • The contamination is beneath property zoned for commercial/industrial land use and the area <br /> is serviced by a public water system. <br /> • Water Quality Objectives (WQO) will be met within a reasonable timeframe as discussed in <br /> Ground Zero's Response to RWQCB Comments and Request for Case Closure dated <br /> September 22, 2010. <br /> • The area of soil contamination is limited in size and is not located under any existing structure. <br /> Additionally, there appears to be approximately eight feet of uncontaminated soil over the area. <br /> There are no occupied buildings over the contaminated soil column. An evaluation of potential <br /> soil-sourced vapor intrusion indicates that TPHg plus benzene risk levels were below the target <br /> hazard index. The incremental lifetime cancer risk due to benzene vapor intrusion falls between <br /> 10-4 and 10-6. Risks within this range are potentially acceptable, depending on site-specific <br /> considerations. <br /> • Concentrations of petroleum constituents in soil are less than those listed in the State Water <br /> Resource Control Board's Draft Low-Threat Site Closure Policy dated September 7, 2010. <br /> Soil analytical data are summarized in Table 4. <br /> G:\GROUNDZE\WCTOMATO\WCT-Investigation\Reports\QMR\2011\1 QM201 I.doc <br />
