REQUEST FOR SITE_CLOSURE <br /> General Mills Facility <br /> 2000 West Turner Road <br /> Lodi, California <br /> Delta Project No 40-92-708 <br /> Page 4 <br />' At the April 15, 1993 meeting, the County suggested that we present our case for leaving soil in place <br /> with concentrations of TPH as diesel No 6 over 100 ppm to the Technical Advisory Committee After <br />' consideration, General Mills has decided to proceed with this suggestion To support our case, General <br /> Rask Appraisal analyses were performed <br />' 2.7 1&gchingr Potential Analyses <br /> The Leaching Potential Analysis, presented in the LUFT Manual was developed to estimate the <br /> concentration of BTEX, TPH as gasoline, and TPH as diesel that can be safely left in soil at a site <br /> without posing a risk to ground water quality It is used as a screening method to determine whether <br /> additional site analyses are necessary As stated by Odencrantz, et al , "This screening table is <br /> incorrectly used throughout California by a wide variety of agencies and private entities to determine TPH <br />' and BTEX cleanup concentrations If it is found during the screening step using Table 2-1 (LUFT <br /> Manual)that additional detailed analysis are required, the LUFT manual provides a more detailed analysis <br /> that compares "cumulative concentrations" of BTEX to compound-specific tables for determinations of <br /> appropriate cleanup levels This second, more involved analysis, termed the General Risk Appraisal, is <br />' rarely performed or enforced" <br /> The County is incorrectly applying the screening table to trigger further remediation, which is clearly nom <br /> the intent of the LUFT manual <br /> 3.0 GENERAL RISK APPRAISAL <br />' Proceeding on the premise that the County's Leaching Potential Analysis results are appropriate <br /> (maximum allowable concentration of TPH as diesel No 6 should be 100 ppm), the next step <br /> ' recommended in the LUFT Manual is either cleanup or additional site analysis such as a General Risk <br /> Appraisal Delta has performed a General Risk Appraisal as described on pages 36 through 46 of the <br /> ' LUFT manual <br /> The General Risk Appraisal is more sophisticated than the Leaching Potential Analysis It was developed <br /> ' to evaluate the risk of ground water pollution at an underground fuel storage tank site from BTEX <br /> concentrations in soil Delta performed three analyses one for toluene, one for ethylbenzene, and one <br /> RPT076 TA <br />
