Of the 24 sites in the San Joaquin <br /> County LOP (one of the sites listed is in Sacramento County): <br /> • Eleven are either in the final closure process or are about to enter it; <br /> • Seven have problems related to vapor intrusion evaluations, are in rebound testing or <br /> awaiting additional technical evaluation; and <br /> • Six require further work such as additional monitoring, delineation or remediation. <br /> Specifically, the EHD comments are as follows: <br /> Claim No. 8439 -22871 now 932 S. Hwy 99 Ri on <br /> Closure on this site is delayed by a vapor intrusion evaluation that encountered TPHg in soil gas <br /> at concentrations that exceeded the Tier I evaluation. Subsequent evaluation by the consultant <br /> has been by methods that are not supported by authoritative guidance documents, such as <br /> those provided by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) or by the Los <br /> Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB). The EHD requested technical data <br /> supporting the subdivision of total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline (TPHg) data <br /> into smaller carbon number ranges than reported by the analytical laboratory and validation of <br /> the data manipulation methods employed by the consultant. The EHD has questions regarding <br /> the calibration methods and standards utilized for conducting the laboratory analysis, and the <br /> EHD is concerned that the standard utilized was not appropriate for the analytical method. In <br /> addition, the consultant did not analyze the soil gas samples for total petroleum hydrocarbons <br /> quantified as diesel (TPHd) by method TO-17 as was approved in the work pian and has not <br /> provided a justification for deviating from the work plan or demonstrated that the results of the <br /> analysis employed are equivalent to those that would have been obtained by TO-17.
