APPENDIX B Site Background Information -' l QUICK N SAVE #1 J 1901 South EI Dorado Street, Stockton , California INTRODUCTION Quick N Save #1 is located in the southern portion of the City of Stockton, San Joaquin County, on the southwest corner of the intersection of South EI Dorado Street and Fifth Street. The site is currently utilized as a gasoline fueling station and mini-mart. Most of the site surface is paved with asphalt or is covered by a structure and gasoline dispenser islands. The property location and surrounding area are depicted on Figure 1 . The prominent features of the property are depicted on Figure 2 . LJ -� REGIONAL GEOLOGIC/HYDROLOGIC SETTING The property is situated within the Great Valley Geomorphic Province of California, a large, elongate , north-northwest trending , asymmetric structural trough. The Great Valley Province has been filled with thick sequences of sediment ranging in age from Jurassic to Recent, creating a nearly flat- lying alluvial plain , extending from the Tehachapi Mountains in the south to the Klamath Mountains in the north. The western and eastern boundaries of this province are comprised of the California Coast Range and the Sierra Nevada , respectively. Rocks composing the basement complex of the province have not been completely defined but are believed to be metamorphic and igneous in origin. The northern and southern portions of the Great Valley Province have been designated the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys , respectively. Based on the General Soil Map from the San Joaquin County Soil Survey, published by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service in 1992 , the site l area is within the Jackson-Hallenbeck-Stockton (JHS ) association. The JHS soils are located within basins, and generally consist of moderate to poor) _. Y drained fine textured soils . The soils are generally derived from both marine and non-marine sediment, and are generally formed in alluvium derived from mixed rock sources . I The Modesto , Riverbank, Turlock Lake Formations and overlying recent alluvium are the I principal source of domestic ground water in the 13 ,500 square-mile San Joaquin Valley (_ Ground Water Basin (Basin 5-22). This basin is drained primarily by the San Joaquin River. The closest surface water features to the site are San Joaquin River and Walker Slough located approximately 4 ,500 feet southwest of the site . Water from the site drains into the San Joaquin River Deep Water Channel which is primarily used for commercial and recreational boating . _i � IAdvanced GeoEnvirnnmental, Inc.
