<br /> �A Investigation, dated October 5, 2001. The proposed work included the installation of CPT borings, direct
<br /> push borings, and monitor wells and the completion of a SRS to identify potential sensitive receptors
<br /> within a 2,000-foot radius of the Site. The work plan was approved by Ms. Rebecca Setliff of the
<br /> SJCEHD in a letter dated November 14, 2001, to Mr. Cliff Bailey of CSUS.
<br /> The recommended work was conducted in November and December 2001. Findings of the work were
<br /> described in the Additional Soil and Groundwater Investigation and Monitor Well Installation Report,
<br /> t. dated January 11, 2002, prepared by Condor. Results of the work indicated that Site soil contamination
<br /> was fully investigated but that groundwater contamination was not. Groundwater contamination was
<br /> present down to the total depth of the investigation (approximately 81 feet below the ground surface) and
<br /> was present at the lateral bounds of the area investigated, particularly to the east, in the direction of the
<br /> groundwater gradient indicated by the initial monitoring event. The sensitive receptor.survey indicated the
<br /> presence of several potential receptors, but no wells within close proximity to the Site that had not been
<br /> previously destroyed.
<br /> The January 11, 2002, report recommended quarterly groundwater monitoring, additional lateral and
<br /> vertical groundwater characterization, and soil over-excavation. The soil over-excavation was a suggested
<br /> remedial alternative that was most likely to result in rapid mitigation of Site contamination. The SJCEHD
<br /> letter dated April 26, 2002, agreed with the monitoring and additional groundwater investigation portion
<br /> of the recommendations,but requested study of the feasibility of at least two remedial options for the Site.

<br /> F On June 28, 2002, a Condor representative was on Site to measure water levels and collect water samples
<br /> from the three monitor wells. A slight petroleum odor was noted in the field inspection sample collected
<br /> from MW-3. The laboratory analytical results indicated that no petroleum hydrocarbon constituents were
<br /> �`- detected in the groundwater sample collected from monitor well MW-1. '1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA)
<br /> was detected in the groundwater sample collected from 'monitor .well MW-2. Benzene, toluene,
<br /> ethylbenzene, total xylenes (BTEX), total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline (TPH-G),
<br /> i methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), and 1,2-DCA were detected in the groundwater sample collected
<br /> from monitor well MW-3 at concentrations consistent with those detected during the groundwater
<br /> investigation conducted in December 2001.The groundwater gradient was calculated using depth to water
<br /> measurements collected on June 28, 2002, at the three Site monitor wells. The groundwater elevations
<br /> generally indicated a groundwater gradient to the southeast.
<br /> On September 11, 2002, a Condor representative was on Site to measure water levels and collect water
<br /> samples from the three monitor wells. A slight petroleum odor was noted in the field inspection sample
<br /> 'i collected from MW-3. The laboratory (Excelchem Environmental Labs) analytical results indicated that
<br /> r no petroleum hydrocarbon constituents were detected in the groundwater sample collected from monitor
<br /> { well MW-1. Toluene, TPH-G, and 1,2-DCA were detected in the groundwater sample collected from
<br /> monitor well MW-2. BTEX, TPH-G, total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as diesel (TPH-D), MTBE,
<br /> jand 1,2-DCA were detected in the groundwater sample collected from monitor well MW-3 at
<br /> concentrations consistent with those detected during the groundwater investigation conducted in
<br /> December 2001. The groundwater gradient was calculated using depth to water measurements collected
<br /> on September 11, 2002, at the three Site monitor wells. The groundwater elevations generally indicated a
