CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM NO. R5-2003-0811 <br /> FOR <br /> KINDER MORGAN ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. <br /> THROUGH ITS OPERATING PARTNER SFPP L.P. <br /> HOLT PETROLEUM PIPELINE RELEASE SITE <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, roug <br /> L.P. thh its operating partner SFPP L.P. (formerly known <br /> as Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline), hereafter Discharger, operates an underground petroleum pipeline <br /> that generally runs from the San Francisco Bay area to Reno,Nevada. In February 1986, Santa <br /> Fe Pacific Pipeline discovered that a section of pipeline passing near Holt was breached during a <br /> flood and leaking its contents. The resulting groundwater pollution and cleanup site is along <br /> Whiskey Slough Road west of Holt and southeast of Trapper Slough just before it joins Whiskey <br /> Slough. The soil and groundwater,which is about one to 12 feet below ground surface (bgs), are <br /> polluted with a variety of constituents found in petroleum fuel products. This pollution impaired <br /> the beneficial use of this water resource. Polluted groundwater and soil vapors are extracted and <br /> piped to an on-site treatment system. Order No. 5-00-217,National Pollutant Discharge <br /> Elimination System Number CA0084701, issued to the Discharger on 27 October 2000, currently <br /> governs discharge of the treated groundwater. <br /> This Monitoring and Reporting Program(MRP) is issued pursuant to Section 13267 of the <br /> California Water Code and is necessary to delineate the groundwater pollutant plume and <br /> determine whether remediation efforts are effective. Existing data and information about the site <br /> show the presence of various chemicals, including benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene and <br /> gasoline and diesel range total petroleum hydrocarbons, emanating from the property and <br /> resulting from the Discharger's operation. The Discharger shall not implement any changes to <br /> this MRP unless and until a revised MRP is issued by the Executive Officer. This MRP replaces <br /> the requirements listed in revised MRP No. 94-806,which was issued on 21 September 1999. <br /> Prior to construction of any new groundwater monitoring or extraction wells, and prior to <br /> abandonment of any groundwater monitoring or extraction wells,the Discharger shall submit <br /> plans and specifications to the Board for review and approval. Once installed, all new wells shall <br /> be added to the monitoring program and shall be sampled and analyzed according to the schedule <br /> below. <br /> GROUNDWATER MONITORING <br /> As shown on Figure 1 and detailed in Table 1, there are 33 wells, including 19 monitoring wells, <br /> 4 groundwater extraction wells and 10 vapor extraction wells. The groundwater monitoring <br /> program is for 17 monitoring wells designated as M-1, M-2,M-3, M-8,M-10,N-7,N-8,N-15, <br /> N-16,N-18,N-19,N-20,N-21, N-22,N-23, N-24 and 0-1. The 17 monitoring wells and any <br /> wells installed subsequent to the issuance of this MRP, shall follow the schedule in Tables 2 and <br /> 3, below. MW-3 shall be monitored for depth to water only. Monitoring.wells with free phase <br /> petroleum product or visible sheen shall be monitored for product thickness and depth to water <br /> only. The volume of extracted groundwater, volume of extracted free phase, and amount of <br />
