BFC Property— UIC Drug lab page 2 26237/26239 E. Miller Ave, Escalon • The enclosed master file record form is to be completed and submitted to SJCEHD with a fee of $279 that covers the first three hours of our work on the site ($93/hour). If more than three hours is spent on oversight of the site investigation, you will be sent a bill calculated by multiplying the $93/hour fee times the number of additional hours; • Contract with an environmental consulting firm to prepare and submit a work plan to gather soil samples from under the tanks, the distribution box, and every 20-linear feet of each of the two leach lines, and the pits at the end of each line. Soil samples are to be collected from native soil within 1 to 2-feet below the leach rock/filter material and analyzed for the constituents noted below. Any sludge or liquid (ground water or standing water) encountered during the investigation is to be sampled and analyzed. The work plan should also include a proposal for pumping out the septic tank contents, containerizing, characterizing and possibly coliform-treating of the septage, and transportation of the containerized contents to an approved facility; • In accordance with USEPA guidelines the minimum laboratory analyses for the contents of the septic tank and all soil, sludge and liquid samples collected will be Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH), Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX), Acetone and-methanol, and a general scan of volatile organic compounds (VOC) by EPA Method 82608, as well as Methamphetamine (HPLC/MS/MS), Total Phosphorous (SM 4500PF), Iodide and Chloride (EPA 300.0), pH (EPA 150.1); • Submit a report of findings to SJCEHD at the end of the septic system investigation. If soil/sludge/water sample laboratory data indicates that chemicals are detected at significant levels, an additional investigation may be required to determine the vertical extent of the chemical migration and if the ground water has been impacted. The contents of the septic tank should be first analyzed for contaminants listed above, then pumped out by a qualified contractor and the septage properly stored onsite immediately. The septic tank is then to be high- pressure water/steam washed and cleaned as many times as necessary to rid the tank of stains and odors. The rinseate should be collected and added to the tank already holding the pumped septic waste. This can be done before the work plan is submitted to SJCEHD in order to minimize any impact to the soil around the tank should there be cracks in the tank. The septic tank is to be allowed to dry out in preparation for a visual inspection by SJCEHD staff. Tanks that are damaged, cracked, or determined not to be in satisfactory condition will require repair or replacement prior to being permitted to be brought back in service (occupancy).
