In addition, you asked that these criteria be based on the guidelines <br /> posited by Jon Marshack of the Califormia Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, <br /> i in his paper entitled: Wanated LWI yL odoloay for Waste Classification and ClWdup,Level <br /> I Determination. dated October 1986. Therefore, we have revised our proposed target criteria for BTEX. <br /> ,j The revised target criteria for individual constituents is shown in the following_table.JThese target criteria <br /> l r<are'considered quite conservative, and therefore mare than adequate to meet SJl'HS and RwOC�tank concerns, because no environmental attenuation has been assumed, and groundwater beneath th <br /> i excavation is already Impacted above the water quality goals <br /> 'j TARGET CRITERIA FOR SOIL TO BE RETURNED TO THE TANK EXCAVATION. <br /> CONSTITUENT WATER QUALITY LEACHABILITY TARdET CRITERIA <br /> GOAL FACTOR IN SOIL <br /> BENZENE 0.7 ug/1 10 0.007 mg/kg <br /> j TOLUENE 100 Ug/I 10 _1.0:mg/kg <br /> i <br /> i ETHYLBENZENE 680 ug/I 10 .6.13 mg/kg <br /> i <br /> TOTAL XYLENES 1.750 ug/I 10 17.5, mg/kg <br /> 4.

We have found that the depth to groundwater } <br /> beneath the site typically is approximately 40 feet below grade. According to SJCPHS; during a recent, <br /> flood season, groundwater was observed as high as 30-35 feet below grade. To establish a reasonable <br /> buffer zone to prevent tank pit soils from.contacting high groundwater, we propose the following: i <br /> Before any stockpiled soil meeting target criteria Is placed in the excavatlonj a 7buffer <br /> =one' of clean fill from the excavation at the northern end of the site will be placed in the <br /> bottom of the excavation to a depth of 10 feet below grade.
