Project Number 1804BK54 April 11,2013 <br /> The HVE operations conducted from December 2012 through February 2013 provided <br /> data that confirmed this finding. The data indicated that residual PCE in <br /> groundwater is very minor and localized. This conclusion is based on the following: <br /> • Dissolved-phase concentrations of VOC's prior to HVE events continued to <br /> show significant declining trends indicating the effectiveness of site <br /> remediation combined with natural attenuation of contaminants; <br /> • HVE operations reduced dissolved-phase concentrations 56% at EX-1BB (from <br /> 23.3 micrograms per liter (µg/L) to 10.2 µg/L) and 66% at MW-7BB (from 30.7 <br /> pg/L to 10.3 pg/L); and <br /> • The radius of groundwater extraction capture, during high vacuum extraction <br /> operations, was significant as groundwater elevation drawdown was measured <br /> in monitoring wells located greater than 130 feet from EX-11313 and greater <br /> than 110 feet in the downgradient direction and greater than 300 feet in the <br /> upgradient direction from MW-71313. In concept, had there been a significant <br /> concentration of VOC's in the subsurface soils, "smear" zone or groundwater <br /> within the capture radius of the extraction wells, the concentrations after HVE <br /> would have increased instead of decreasing, as the HVE would have drawn the <br /> higher concentrations to the extraction wells. <br /> The HVE data was relayed to the Case Oversight Officer for the CRWQCB via <br /> telephone communication on April 8, 2013. In that conversation, the Case Officer <br /> indicated that the Site warranted Site Closure and that the Site Decommissioning <br /> Workplan could be prepared and submitted. <br /> 2.0 SITE DECOMMISSIONING WORKPLAN <br /> One (1) 6-inch extraction well, 22 groundwater monitoring wells, 38 groundwater air <br /> sparge wells and 29 vapor extraction wells will be abandoned (see Table 1 for well <br /> details). The locations of these wells are shown on Figure 2. Tasks to accomplish the <br /> well destructions will include permitting, well abandonment, Site restoration, and site <br /> decommissioning reporting. <br /> Note: Well MW-06 is a City well and will not be destroyed. <br /> 2.1 Task 1 -Permitting <br /> Prior to the commencement of the field activities, E2C will obtain well abandonment <br /> permits from San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) and <br /> an encroachment permit from the City of Lodi. The encroachment permit will require <br /> preparation of a traffic control plan. <br /> 2.1.1 Traffic Control Plan <br /> An E2C California Professional Engineer will prepare the traffic control plan in <br /> accordance with City of Lodi Engineering Department specifications. <br /> 2.2 Task 2 - Well Abandonment <br /> A California-licensed C-57 drilling contractor will perform the well abandonment <br /> activities in accordance with permitting requirements. The abandonment activities <br /> will be overseen by E2C field personnel, under the direction of an E2C California <br /> Professional Geologist, or Professional Engineer. <br /> E2C Remediation 2 <br />
