The investigation did reveal that MTBE contamination has <br /> migrated off site in both the soil and groundwater. The soil sample from 20 feet below surface <br /> grade(bsg)from Geoprobe GP2 evidenced soil contamination. None of the other Geoprobe soil <br /> samples from 20 feet bsg were analyzed. The 15 feet bsg soil samples from Geoprobes GP2, <br /> GP6,GP7 and GP9 all evidenced MTBE contamination, so the contamination spread laterally at <br /> this depth, but how far it spread at this depth and how much deeper it spread laterally must be <br /> determined. <br /> Table 1 of the report indicates that Geoprobe GP9 soil sample at 8 feet bsg was not analyzed but <br /> lab analytical data was included that showed MTBE at .0083 mg/kg. Please correct the <br /> information in the table. In addition, quality assurance/quality control information for the lab data <br /> was not included in the report. Please submit the corrected table and lab data to PHS/EHD. <br /> Since MTBE contamination has migrated off site the feasibility of groundwater extraction to stop <br /> further migration and as a remedial alternative should be investigated. Shallow screened <br /> monitoring wells should be installed off site to confirm the Geoprobe groundwater samples. Soil <br /> and groundwater below 20 feet must be investigated. Deeper screened monitoring wells will have <br /> to be installed. Submit a work plan to further investigate the lateral and vertical extent of MTBE <br /> contamination and evaluate the feasibility of groundwater extraction by July 16, 2001. <br /> If you have any questions contact me at(209)468-3449. <br /> Margaret Lagorio, Supervising REHS <br /> Unit IV <br /> Donna er�EHS, Director <br /> Environmental Health <br /> c: CVRWQCB-Marty Hartzell <br /> Avalon Environmental -Trevor Santochi <br /> A Division of San Joaquin County Health Care Services <br />
