Interim Remediation Plan and Second Quarter 2001 Groundwater Monitoring Report Moore Petroleum Bulk Plant,5491 F Street,Banta,California Page 2 On May 4, 1995, a soil vapor extraction system consisting of an R.S.I. SAVE system was installed at the subject site. The vapor extraction system was installed per San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) permit conditions. The vapor extraction system consisted of an internal combustion engine with catalytic converters mounted on the exhaust. The system was configured such that soil vapors could be extracted from either vapor well VEW-1 and/or monitoring well MW-1 (Figure 2). The system was started on May 5, 1995, and operated through October 4, 1995, at which time it was temporarily removed from the site. On November 27, 1995,the system was returned to the subject site and restarted. An air sparge system was installed for use in conjunction with the vapor extraction system. The air sparge system consisted of a one horse power electric motor which powers a 10-cubic feet per minute (CFM) oil-less compressor. The compressor injected air through an air sparge point (AS- 1) located midway between VEW-1 and MW-1 (Figure 2). The air sparge system was started on May 31, 1995 and operated intermittently through August 30, 1995, at which time its operation began to coincide with the operation of the R.S.I. system. On April 29, 1997, Apex received permission from the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division (SJCEHD) to shut down the air sparge and vapor extraction system due to low influent soil vapor concentrations to the vapor extraction system. As of April 29, 1997, the remediation system has extracted a total of 1,720 pounds of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) and 19.9 pounds of benzene. Apex submitted the Over Excavation & Groundwater Removal Workplan dated September 10, 1997, proposing over excavation, de-watering and soil sampling of the bulk loading rack area and tank basins during seven UST (T-1 through T-7) removals located in the southern portion of the site (Figure 2). The seven 10,000 gallon USTs were removed on September 8, 1998. After the removal of the seven 10,000 gallon USTs, Apex collected four soil samples and one groundwater sample. Apex then collected six additional soil samples and two additional water samples from beneath the tank basin. Nine soil samples were also submitted for analysis from the area beneath the former bulk loading rack. Apex also supervised the removal of two 350 gallon USTs, T-8 and T-9 (Figure 2) on August 17, 1998 and September 8, 1998, respectively. One soil sample was collected from beneath T-8. Following the removal of T-9, soil was over excavated and an exploratory trench was dug. Apex collected two soil samples and one groundwater sample from the over excavation and exploratory trench. The results of all soil and water sampling associated with the removal of the nine USTs and the bulk loading rack were documented in the report entitled Tank Closure Results and Recommendations Report dated December 23, 1998.
