Interim Remediation Plan and Second Quarter 2001 Groundwater Monitoring Report <br />Moore Petroleum Bulk Plant, 5491 F Street, Banta, California <br />Page 10 <br />Apex does recommend completing the installation of the vapor extraction system at the site. As <br />previously mentioned, vapor extraction in conjunction with air sparging was used successfully in <br />the southern portion of the site to cleanup soil and groundwater in the vicinity of the seven <br />10,000 -gallon USTs and the bulk loading rack from 1995 to 1997. During that time, a total of <br />1,720 pounds of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) and 19.9 pounds of benzene <br />were recovered from soil and groundwater. Wells VEW-1 and MW -1 are currently built for <br />vapor extraction and still have piping running to the former remediation compound. Well MW- <br />8NEW-3 is located in the eastern portion of the site and has piping running to the former <br />remediation compound. In addition, well VEW-2 is also located in the eastern portion of the site <br />and is constructed as a vapor well. Well VEW-2 is located a few feet from the remediation <br />compound and needs underground piping. Lastly, well MW -7 is located in the southwest portion <br />of the site and, based on groundwater concentrations, would be an ideal location for a vapor <br />extraction well. <br />Apex recommends operating the vapor extraction system using already existing vapor wells <br />VEW-2 and VEW-3 to cleanup residual petroleum contamination remaining in soil in the eastern <br />portion of the site. In addition, the existing vapor extraction wells (VEW-1 and MW -1) could be <br />utilized to address the residual contamination present in the southern portion of the site. Apex <br />fells that reinstalling well MW -7 as a vapor well and connecting it to the system will further <br />assist in cleaning up the southern portion of the site (soil under the building where residual <br />contamination remains). <br />Apex also recommends continuing the quarterly groundwater monitoring and reporting during <br />this interim remedial action. Also, continued monthly sampling at the domestic Rhodes well. <br />Moore is currently providing bottled water to the Rhodes family for drinking and cooking and <br />will continue to do so. Should the MTBE plume advance to the domestic Rhodes well, then <br />installing the two additional groundwater recovery wells (RW -1 and RW -3) and utilizing <br />groundwater extraction and treatment may become necessary. If groundwater concentrations do <br />not decrease, it may be necessary to utilize air sparging to remediate groundwater. The next <br />monitoring event is scheduled for July 2001. <br />�Ifft6piffing -an nfeilm"remediation plan (IRP) report presenting the results of the March <br />2001 -pumping test and outlining an IRP for the site. <br />
