' <br /> 00 <br /> Re: Ripon Farm Service <br /> Site Code: 1605 <br /> Dear Mary: <br /> As' you are aware, our firm represents Ripon Farm Service, <br /> and, in that regard, I direct your attention to the follow-' <br /> ing information as related to the former underground tanks <br /> at this site: <br /> 1. 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 :'indi'cate 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 installation indicate <br /> either the analytical results were invalid from the tank <br /> pull; or there -is-off-site migration-. -. -.. a <br /> 4 . Jimco site records indicate that major unauthorized <br /> releases occurred at the site from the truck 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 ;'earl'y 70s. The ponds <br /> and open ditches were just .adjacent to °the Ripon Farm Ser- <br /> vice site. Over the years, the ongoing migration to ground <br /> water is highly likely. <br /> Following your review of this data, I would ask that you. <br /> J <br />
