L � VTC <br /> www.atcassociates.com <br /> 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> On behalf of Quik Stop Markets, Inc., ATC Associates, Inc. (ATC) is submitting a Case Closure <br /> Summary for Quik Stop Market No. 132, located at 3555 West Hammer Lane, Stockton, <br /> California (Site). This Case Closure Summary is based on a request by the San Joaquin <br /> County Environmental Health Department(SJCEHD) in their letter dated March 8, 2011 <br /> (attached as Appendix A). This Case Closure Summary presents historical and current Site <br /> �. data and discusses items detailed in Section 6.0 of the Tri-Regional Board Staff <br /> Recommendations for Preliminary Investigation and Evaluation of Underground Tank Sites <br /> (2004, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control). In ATC's professional opinion, this Site <br /> should be considered for no further action required based on the information provided herein. <br /> 2.0 SITE BACKGROUND <br /> v <br /> Quik Stop Market No. 132 is an operating retail motor vehicle fueling station located in a <br /> commercial district near Interstate 5 in Stockton, California. The station has a small retail store <br /> located in the one-story building on site. It is located west of Interstate 5 on West Hammer Lane <br /> (Site Location Map, Figure 1). The Site is located in a commercial district used as a servicing <br /> point for travelers from the Interstate. The commercial district is surrounded by residential and <br /> agricultural properties (Site Plan with Well and Soil Boring Locations, Figure 2). <br /> In July 1990 a fuel vapor monitoring system detected petroleum hydrocarbon vapors in the <br /> subsurface, near the vicinity of the underground storage tanks (USTs). ExcelTech conducted a <br /> �. subsequent investigation to determine the source of the system alert. Soil excavation revealed <br /> that the fuel pipeline supplying the north pump island had leaked and an area of the piping <br /> trench backfill and surrounding soil had been impacted. ExcelTech excavated petroleum- <br /> hydrocarbon impacted soil and backfill material until field instrumentation and observation <br /> indicated its removal. Confirmatory soil samples were collected and submitted to a lab for <br /> analysis. The piping was repaired and the excavation was backfilled with clean material. <br /> Four monitor wells were also installed in 1990 to enable ongoing sampling and analysis of the <br /> groundwater underlying the Site. A single soil boring was also advanced during the <br /> investigation (identified as boring "B"). Subsequently an additional seven monitor wells have <br /> been installed on and around the Site. In 1991 monitor well MW-1 was abandoned by being <br /> over drilled and grouted due to concerns it may serve as a conduit between two shallow water <br /> bearing zones. It was replaced by monitor wells MW-1 R and MW-5, which are screened at two <br /> ` different depths to monitor the two water bearing zones. Monitor wells MW-9 and MW-10 were <br /> decommissioned in 2006 after being damaged during site construction activities. It was <br /> determined that these wells did not need to be replaced. <br /> A Site Conceptual Model (SCM)was prepared and submitted to the SJCEHD on November 28, <br /> 2006. The SCM documented the rate of plume migration, plume disposition overtime, <br /> environmental and human health screening levels and contaminant mass in soil and <br /> groundwater. SJCEHD reviewed the SCM and concurred with ATC's assessment that methyl <br /> tert butyl ether(MTBE) appears to be stable, shrinking and remains within the Site boundaries. <br /> ATC requested to reduce the frequency of monitoring events from quarterly to semiannually due <br /> to low level concentrations of chemicals of concern (COC) in groundwater samples collected <br /> from the monitor well network.
