<br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD) has reviewed Hydrogeologic
<br /> Modeling Update and Request for Case Closure dated July 29, 2011, submitted on your behalf
<br /> by Stantec Consulting Corporation (Stantec) and has the following comments.
<br /> In correspondence dated May 5, 2011, the EHD requested submittal of a Case Closure
<br /> Summary Report that included a fate and transport hydrogeologic model using groundwater
<br /> analytical data from well VW-2, and that addressed all requirements of the Tri-Regional
<br /> Guidelines Appendix A.
<br /> The model update submitted was reported to have utilized groundwater data from wells VW-2,
<br /> VW-7, MW-2 and MW-16, covering a period beginning in 1990. The concern for closure of the
<br /> site is the projected degradation of the plume from this point in time forward, specifically for the
<br /> concentrations of contamination found in VW-2, which had not been sampled until recently. The
<br /> previously submitted model, dated December 17, 2009, made predictions of the life of the plume
<br /> from 2008-2018, using contaminant concentrations from VW-7, MW-2 and MW-16. The Tri-
<br /> Regional Guidelines Appendix A was not addressed in the submitted model update.
<br /> Please proceed with submittal of the previously requested Case Closure Summary Report,
<br /> including a fate and transport model for the contamination remaining in VW-2, and addressing
<br /> all requirements of the Tri-Regional Guidelines Appendix A. The EHD recommends utilizing
<br /> pre-remediation and/or post-remediation concentration trends to determine the natural
<br /> contaminant degradation rate. The Case Closure Summary Report, including the Tri-Regional
<br /> Guidelines Appendix A, is due for submittal no later than December 30, 2011.
<br /> If you have any questions please contact Lori Duncan at (209) 468-0337 or by email at
