Box 1030 <br /> Marysville, CA 95901 <br /> REVIEW OF PHASE 11 DEEPER GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION RESULTS AND <br /> PHASE 111 INVESTIGATION WORK PLAN, JOHN TAYLOR FERTILIZERS CO. <br /> STOCKTON, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Staff of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region <br /> (Central Valley Water Board) has reviewed the Phase 11 Deeper Groundwater <br /> Investigation Results (Report) and Phase III Investigation Work Plan (Work Plan), dated <br /> 15 December 2011 for the subject site, located at 1819 South Argonaut Street in <br /> Stockton, San Joaquin County, California (Site). The Report and the Work Plan was <br /> prepared on behalf of John Taylor Fertilizers Co. (JTF)/Wilbur-Ellis by Geosyntec <br /> consultants. <br /> Background <br /> A retail outlet and distribution center for agricultural chemicals and pesticides was <br /> formerly located at the Site. Several groundwater investigations have been conducted <br /> at the Site from 1999 to 2010. Site investigations show that the pesticides 1,2- <br /> dichloropropane (1,2-DCP) and 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) are found in shallow <br /> and deep groundwater. A cone penetration test (CPT) investigation conducted in 2009 <br /> found contaminants in groundwater at approximately 50-80 feet below ground surface <br /> (bgs). Four onsite wells, screened from 56.3 to 80.5 feet bgs were installed in August <br /> 2010 to confirm the direction of groundwater gradient. These investigations show that <br /> pesticides from the facility have leached into the groundwater and have migrated off the <br /> Site towards the east. <br /> 2011 Phase II Investigation <br /> In September and October 2011, JTF conducted the Phase It cone penetration test CPT <br /> Investigation, in accordance with the Phase 11 Deeper Groundwater Investigation Work <br /> KART_ E.
