July 24, 2003 <br /> ' Soil Quality <br /> Soil contamination from petroleum hydrocarbons was found in several areas of <br /> varying depth and concentrations Levels of BTEX were detected in previous <br /> exploration in the 10 to 15 FT bgs zone along the east fence at less than 100 ug/kg <br /> and at a deeper 25 FT bgs at levels of 688 ug/kg of Xylene During earlier testing in <br /> March 1999, Galardo identified considerable BTEX in BH No B-1 in the vicinity of <br /> later installed MW No 1 and in BH No 2 near the east fence <br /> Diesel contaminated soil was found near MW No 4 particularly in the 25 to 30 FT bgs <br /> zone and MW No 2 near the east fence in June 2002 Earlier bonngs by Gallardo and <br /> Barber found diesel at the 13,000 to 15,000 mg/kg levels in the same area <br /> Earner bonngs by Gallardo and Barber found concentrations of upwards to 30,000 <br /> mg/kg in the vicinity of MW No 1 and BH No B-1 at similar depths <br /> Review of previous geological findings and field findings in June support the <br /> contention that there was dispersion of diesel in the 25 FT to 35 FT bgs zone atop an <br /> aquatard, possibly with earlier perched waters Perched waters were not found at this <br /> depth by Stellar or Barber in December 2000 or the later June 2002 exploration <br /> Near the east fence during construction of MW No 2 in June 2002, minor seepage of <br /> product (diesel like) and shallow water were apparent in the upper 0 to 10 FT bgs <br /> stratum <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> ' Groundwater monitoring should continue in the near term Terminating BTEX analysis <br /> is to be requested as none has been observed in water samples Use of common <br /> elevation datum between the WOS and Victor Fine Foods Company studies and <br /> assignment of elevations to groundwater surface should be continued <br /> Attenuation of hydrocarbons in the groundwater should be reviewed after considenng <br /> the forth coming Stellar Environmental report about August 4th 2003 <br /> Alternative remediation plans of contaminated soil in the vicinity of MW No 2 should <br /> be considered leading to development of an approved work plan and closure of the <br /> site <br /> Seek guidance from EHS and submit"GeoTrackei"formatted information on findings <br /> and MW locations for electronic data submittal requirement to State of California <br /> ' P9 4 <br />
