The samples were analyzed on November 17, 1988, and the results showed detectable levels of TPVH and total lead in all samples, and measurable levels of xylene in the two tank samples. Table I in the appendix summarizes the results in tabular form. Exhibit "E" indicates the location of the samples on a plat pian, and also lists the laboratory results. No further action was taken until July 14, 19B9, when a Soil Re-excavation and Resample Workplan was submitted by Thorpe Oil . The plan was approved with conditions by the SJLHD on August 31 , 1989; (refer to Exhibit "F". ) On September 11 , in response to SJLHD requests, Thorpe Oil resubmitted the first page of the re-excavation plan, making some minor changes, (Exhibit "G". ) On October 139 1989, Thorpe Oil Co. personel removed an estimated additional 497 cubic yards of soil. , leaving a pit approximately 27 "X 27"X 21 'deep. A total of 17 samples were taken-9 at the bottom of the excavation, and 2 each from the four sides. The samples were collected from the backhoe bucket by McLaren► Laboratory personel , and were transported under chain-of-custody; (see Exhibit "J" . ) The samples were analyzed for BTX&E, TPVH, EDB, and organic lead. The approximate locations of the samples, and their identification numbers, are shown can Exhibit "H". Laboratory results showed that all tested constituents were below reporting levels; Table II lists those results in tabular farm. No free water or moisture was noted during or after the excavation. The 1989 water table map prepared by the San Joaquin Flood Control and Water Conservation District, (Plate V, ) indicates the water table to be at about -25 feet, or 43 feet below ground level at this location. Plate IV shows the ID number and approximate location of California Water Service Company wells in the area. The excavating and sampling operations were not witnessed by a Registered Geologist, but the site was visited by the writer- on Feb. 2011 1990, and the lithology of the exposed material in the pit briefly examined. It consists of irregular layers of buff to tan sandy silts and clays, exhibiting no uniform pattern or descernable continuous bedding. No highly permeable beds were observed. The spoil removed from the pit has not been moved, and the property is behind a locked chain link fence with two guard dogs for additional security. Plates VI & VII show the location of the excavation, the two piles of spoils, and other relevant features. PLUME SIZE AND CONFIGURATION: Because the excavation of the site was not witnessed by the writer, it is not possible to describe or illustrate the configuration of the plume, if indeed one was visually discernable. Since all samples taken after the re---excavation of the property showed no detectable levels of tested substances, it can be assumed that the 3
