1 <br /> rf <br /> ARCADIS GERAGHTY&MILLER <br /> ' Response It is agreed that UNOCAL can relocate the proposed <br /> boring/sampling points <br /> SJCPHS <br /> ' Comment In paragraph 7, your letter states, "PHSIEHD questions the <br /> definition of a confining layer being 3 feet thick " <br /> ' Response It was not the intent of ARCADIS Geraghty and Miller to indicate <br /> that encountering a 3 foot thick confining unit was evidence of a <br /> continuous area-wide confining layer It is not known whether such <br /> ' a layer does or does not exist Rather, the reason that drilling will <br /> be halted when encountering such a confiiung layer is that the layer <br /> might constitute a barrier to vertical migration of site constituents <br /> which could be compromised by drilling though ARCADIS <br /> ' Geraghty and Iviiller will evaluate all available data to assess the <br /> areal extent of encountered potential confining layers A soil <br /> sample will be collected within the base of any encountered Moot <br /> ' confining zone and analyzed for soil moisture and site constituents <br /> of interest, along with all other available relevant site data, to <br /> determine whether petroleum hydrocarbons have migrated through, <br /> or are capable of aqueous migration through, the confining zone at <br /> the point of sampling <br /> ' SJCPHS <br /> Comment In paragraph 8, your letter states, "Collection of groundwater <br /> ' samples at a minimum of 10 foot intervals from first encountered <br /> water to 50 feet is acceptable After that depth samples should be <br /> collected at changes in lithology or a maximum of 10 foot <br /> ' intervals " <br /> Response The comment is acknowledged and samples will be collected as <br /> ' suggested in the comment <br /> SJCPHS <br /> ' Comment In paragraph 10, your letter states that if MTBE is detected in any <br /> samples using EPA method 8020, they should be reanalyzed for a <br /> specified suite of compounds using EPA method 8260A. <br /> ' Response The comment is acknowledged and samples will be collected and <br /> analyzed as suggested in the comment <br /> ' SJsuggested <br /> CPHS <br /> Comment In paragraph 11, your letter states that "the size of hollow stem <br /> ' auger to be used for drilling should be specified <br /> ' 5 <br />
