2.2 Substances Found at the Site. Reports, containing the results of environmental media sampling conducted at the Site, indicate that the soil is contaminated with hazardous substances, including total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and their constituents, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals. 2.3 Physical Description. The site is a former drilling mud disposal facility located in the city of Holt, approximately seven miles southwest of Stockton, California. The site consists of three and a half acres in the southern part of the former Arcady Dump. The site is bordered on the East by Whiskey Slough Road and on the West by the Whiskey Slough waterway. 2.4 SiteAii-stoLy. Prior to 1960, the site was used as a local dumping ground for disposal of domestic wastes. From 1960 to 1984, the property was operated as a drilling mud disposal facility under certification by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as a Class III disposal site (under RWQCB Order No. 76-152). Prior to its closing in 1984, approximately 42,000 cubic yards of non hazardous drilling mud were deposited at the site. Between 1976 and 1984, numerous violations to the RWQCB Order No. 76-152 reportedly occurred. In 198.5, the facility was placed on the State Priority Ranking List by the California Department of Health Services. In early 1986, a break in the Southern Pacific Pipelines adjacent to the northern boundary of the northern parcel released an unspecified volume of petroleum products. In January 1989, Ecology and Environment, Inc., conducted a screening site inspection and found that surface water and soil/groundwater in the vicinity of the facility might be impacted. III.
