CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD CENTRAL VALLEY REGION JUN 17 2016 MONITORING AND REPORTING ORDER NO. R5-2016-0822 CALIFORNIA WATER CODE SECTION 13267 FOR VALLEY PACIFIC PETROLUEM SERVICES 930 VICTOR ROAD, LODI SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY This Order is issued to Valley Pacific Petroleum Services (VPPS, hereafter Discharger) pursuant to California Water Code section 13267, which authorizes the Assistant Executive Officer of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (hereafter Central Valley Water Board) to issue a Monitoring and Reporting Order (Order). The Assistant Executive Officer finds: INTRODUCTION 1. The site is located at 930 Victor Road in Lodi, San Joaquin County (Site) and is an operating bulk fuel terminal. The Site consists of five 12,000-gallon aboveground storage tanks (AGTs) containing diesel and one 12,000-gallon AGT containing gasoline, The Site previously had one 1,000-gallon AGT containing kerosene and one 275-gallon AGT containing solvents, which were removed about 10 years ago. 2. VPPS owns and operates the Site. Therefore, VPPS is named in the Order. 3. Investigations have shown that elevated levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg), TPH as diesel (TPHd), benzene, and methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE) are present in groundwater at the Site, which flows generally in a southerly direction and is about 60 feet below ground surface (bgs). This pollution has impaired the beneficial uses of groundwater resources at the Site. 4. In 2012, the Discharger began operating a soil vapor extraction (SVE) system at the Site. 5. The Order is issued by the Central Valley Water Board, pursuant to California Water Code (CWC) section 13267 and is necessary to delineate groundwater pollutant plumes and evaluate whether remediation efforts are effective. 6. Existing data and information about the Site show the presence of various chemicals, including TPHg, TPHd, and MTBE emanating from the property and resulting from the Discharger's past operation. The Discharger is responsible for the discharge because the Discharger owns the property and operates a bulk fuel terminal on the Site. 7. The Discharger shall not implement any changes to this Order unless and until a revised Order is issued by the Assistant Executive Officer. The Order replaces the requirements listed in Order No. R5-2002-0827, which was issued on 14 August 2002. 8. Prior to construction of any new groundwater monitoring or extraction wells, and prior to destruction of any groundwater monitoring or extraction wells, the Discharger shall submit plans and specifications to the Central Valley Water Board for review and approval. Once installed, all new monitoring wells shall be added to the monitoring program and shall be sampled and analyzed according to the schedule provided under the 'Required Actions' section of this Order
