When tanks were pulled at Ripon Farm Service, the <br /> analytical data showed minimal to no detect. <br /> 2 . Analytical results for Ripon Farm ;Service No. 3 <br /> (10, 000 gallon unleaded tank) showed 1:7 PPM TPH BTX ND. <br /> Note, the analytical results from the monitoring wells <br /> installed by Geological Audit Services �indicate elevated <br /> levels not shown in results from, the tank pull. <br /> 3 . The different results from the time of the tank <br /> pull to the time of monitoring well ins`tallation indicate <br /> either the analytical results were invalid ,�from the tank <br /> pull, or there is off-site iTalyratiGi+. !�I <br /> 4 . Jimco site records indicate that major unauthorized <br /> releases occurred at the site from the1truc. wash and site <br /> run off, which was into unlined ditches and unlined ponds . <br /> Samples collected by CVRWQCB in 1985 revealed floating <br /> product, including hydrocarbons, in ponds and ditches . An <br /> oil/water separator was installed in late 1987, but no <br /> effort to mitigate soil contamination was undertaken. These <br /> discharges occurred as far back as the "early 70s. The ponds <br /> and open ditches were just adjacent toilthe Ripon Farm Ser- <br /> vice site. Over the years, the ongoingi migration to ground <br /> water is highly likely. <br /> Following your review of this data, I would' ask that you <br /> '.b <br /> 15 <br /> I . � <br /> i <br />
