The 2Q02 Report documents decreasing trends of petroleum hydrocarbon and MtBE constituents in on-site monitoring and extraction wells due to continued remedial activities at the site. Concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons and MtBE have decreased significantly since the soil vapor extraction (SVE) and groundwater 1xtraction and treatment (GET) systems began operation in July 2000. As of December 2001, 6.6 million �1llons of contaminated groundwater from the former Chevron site has been extracted, treated with carbon, and discharged to the City of Lodi industrial sewer line. The average treatment system influent MtBE concentration has stabilized at 84 micrograms per Iiter (gg/1). The SVE mass removal rate for MtBE has decreased to zero pounds per day. Based on this data, Secor recommends pulsing the SVE system on a quarterly basis, and suggests shutting off the SVE system for the fourth quarter of 2002, and then restarting it in January 2003. Shutting off the SVE system for three months seems excessive; however, due to the influent air concentrations at zero pounds per day, Secor's recommendations are appropriate, and therefore approved. We would like to reiterate that the focus of further remedial activities at this site should be directed at the high concentrations of contaminants consistently identified in extraction well EX -1. (The maximum concentration of MtBE remains at extraction well EX -1 at 15,000 pill.) Prior to issuing a no further action required letter for this site, groundwater concentrations in all monitoring and remedial wells will need to show decreasing trends toward meeting water quality objectives within a reasonable time. Therefore, if contaminant concentrations in groundwater continue to stay elevated, it will be necessary to evaluate modifications to the remedial system (e.g. adding SVE or groundwater extraction wells), or evaluate alternate technologies (e.g. air / ozone sparging, etc.). If modifications or alternate technologies will increase the technical and economic feasibility of continued remediation in a cost effective manner, then these modifications or enhancements should be made to the system.
