<br /> Unified Air Pollution' Control District (SJVUAPCD) permit, conditions. The SVE system
<br /> consisted of an internal combustion engine with catalytic converters mounted on the exhaust.
<br /> The systemwas configured such that soil vapors could be extracted from either vapor well VEW-
<br /> 1 and/or monitoring well MW-1. The'system was-started on May 5 995 and operated through
<br /> October 4, 1995, at which time it was temporarily removed from the site. .On November 27,
<br /> 1995, the system was returned to the subject site and'restarted.
<br /> An air sparge system was installed for use in conjunction with the SVE system. The air sparge, '
<br /> system consisted of a one horse power electric motor which powers a 10-cubic feet per minute
<br /> (cfm) oil-less compressor. The compressor injected air through an air sparge point located
<br /> midway between VEW-1 and MW-1 (Figure 2). The air sparge system was started on May 31,
<br /> 1995 and operated intermittently through.August 30, 1995, at which time its,operation began to
<br /> 1 coincide with the operation of the R.S.T. system.
<br /> On April 29, 1997, Apex received permission from the San Joaquin County Environmental
<br /> Health Division (SJCEHD) to shut down the air-sparge and vapor extraction system due to low
<br /> influent soil vapor concentrations to the vapor extraction system. • As of April 29, 1997, the
<br /> remediation system had extracted a total of 1,730 pounds of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH),
<br /> as gasoline, and 19.9 pounds of benzene.
<br /> E. Apex submitted the report titled, Over Excavation & Groundwater Removal Workplan, dated
<br /> September 10, 1997, proposing over excavation, de-watering and sampling of the bulk loading
<br /> rack and tank basins during the removal of nine underground storage,tanks (UST).
<br /> E Apex supervised the removal of two 350 gallon USTs, T-8 and T-9 (kerosene and cleaning
<br /> solvent, respectively) on August 17, 1998 and September. 8, 1998, respectively. Also, seven
<br /> 10,000-gallon USTs were removed on September 8, 1998. Results of the UST removal were
<br /> documented by Apex in.the report titled, Tank Closure Results and Recommendations Report,
<br /> dated December 23, 1998.
<br /> Following the removal of T-9, soil�was over excavated and.-an exploratory trench was dug. Apex
<br /> collected two soil .samples and one groundwater sample from the over-excavation and
<br /> exploratory trench. One soil sample was collected from beneath T-8." After the removal of the
<br /> seven 10,000-gallon USTs, Apex collected four soil samples and one groundwater sample from
<br /> the tank pit. Apex then collected six additional soil samples and two-additional water samples
<br /> from beneath the tank basin. Nine soil samples from the area beneath"the former bulk loading
<br /> rack were submitted for analysis. The results of all soil and water-sampling were documented in
<br /> the report titled, Tank Closure Results and Recommendations Report, dated December 23, 1998.
<br /> On April 8 and 9, 1999, Apex personnel supervised the advancement of eight soil borings at the
<br /> subject property. The results of all soil and water sampling were documented in the report titled,
<br /> Results Report for Subsurface Investigation and Second Quarter 1999 Groundwater Monitoring,
<br /> ' dated June 1, 1999. '
