1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> This quarterly monitoring report was prepared by American Geological <br /> Services, Inc. for <br /> Western Refrigerating and Cold Storage Company. As part of the ongoing quarterly <br /> ' monitoring and site investigation program, this report details all field activities performed <br /> on October 8, 1996 at the Tracy Cold Storage site and the results of these activities. The <br /> ' following sections describe the methodology employed and the results obtained during <br /> this sampling event. Historical ground water analytical data is also provided for each of <br /> the previous sampling events. <br /> ' 1.1 Site Description <br /> ' The Tracy Cold Storage site is located at 24500 S. MacArthur Road in Tracy, California <br /> (Figure 1). The property includes approximately eight acres of land which is utilized as a <br /> ' commercial cold storage facility for agricultural products. The site is bounded on three <br /> sides by undeveloped agricultural land. The northern boundary of the property is shared <br /> with the Southern Pacific Railroad. No residences are located within 1,000 feet of the <br /> ' site. <br /> Approximately 44,000 square feet of cold storage space, various maintenance buildings, <br /> and an office are Iocated on the property. Water is supplied by two on-site wells. A <br /> septic system is located on-site. <br /> 1.2 Site Background <br /> ' Remcor, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, conducted an environmental assessment in <br /> May, 1994 to determine the current environmental condition of the site. Remcor's report, <br /> dated July 21, 1994, indicated that the potential for soil or ground water contamination <br /> 1 existed at several locations on the property. Of primary concern was a former <br /> underground gasoline storage tank that had been removed in the 1970's. No information <br /> regarding tank condition, possible soil or ground water contamination, or subsequent <br /> ' investigations was provided, however, it was reported that the tank was removed because <br /> it was known to be leaking. <br /> On August 4 and 5, 1994, Remcor supervised the drilling of seven soil borings. Three of <br /> the borings were completed as ground water monitoring wells. Both soil and ground <br /> water samples were collected for analysis of suspected or potential contaminants. Based <br /> upon the information obtained during this investigation, it was determined that an impact <br /> CA95DE-029 American Geological Services, Inc. <br /> 1 <br />
