ARCADIS GERAGHTY&MILLER <br /> In the opinion of ARCADIS Geraghty & Miller, previous work by <br /> UNOCAL's consultants has resulted in delineation of the lateral extent of groundwater <br /> impact in the shallow zone. The scope of work proposed herein is designed to <br /> delineate the vertical extent of site groundwater impacts and to finalize the database <br /> upon which a subsequent remedial strategy will be developed and a corrective action <br /> plan work plan written. <br /> OBJECTIVES <br /> The objectives of the limited subsurface investigation are to: <br /> 1. Vertically delineate the dissolved-phase petroleum hydrocarbon plume <br /> downgradient of wells with elevated concentrations of dissolved-phase <br /> petroleum hydrocarbons; and <br /> 2. Evaluate the vertical groundwater gradient. <br /> Completion of these objectives is expected to provide sufficient data to <br /> support completion of the delineation of the vertical and lateral extent of impact to <br /> groundwater and to form the basis for development of a corrective action plan. <br /> SITE BACKGROUND AND SETTING <br /> The site is a vacant lot situated on the northwest corner of East Miner Avenue <br /> and California Street(Figure 1)in the City of Stockton, California. The site is situated <br /> in an area of retail stores and hotels. Topography in the site vicinity is flat-lying, at an <br /> elevation of approximately 15 feet above mean sea level (MSL). McLeod Lake and <br /> the Stockton Deep Water Channel are situated approximately one-half mile to the west. <br /> The site was an operating UNOCAL Service Station from 1922 until 1992. <br /> Two 1,000-gallon gasoline and one 550-gallon waste oil underground storage tanks <br /> (USTs) were removed from the southeast comer of the subject site in 1967 <br /> (collectively referred to hereafter as "the 1967 tanks"). Data related to soil testing at <br /> the time of UST removal are not available. These USTs were replaced with two <br /> 10,000-gallon gasoline and one 280-gallon waste oil USTs (collectively referred to <br /> hereafter as the "the 1992 tanks") situated in a common excavation in front of the <br /> station building. <br /> The most recent service station consisted of a three-bay service station <br /> building,three product dispenser islands (D-1 through D-3), and two gasoline and one <br /> waste oil USTs in a common excavation. The site is currently an unpaved vacant lot. <br /> Pertinent features of the former service station are shown on the Site Plan(Figure 1). <br />
