INTRODUCTION At the request of Mr. Americk Singh, Construction Testing and Engineering, Inc. (CTE) has conducted a limited subsurface investigation at the Lodi Food and Liquor, located at 1225 West Lockford Street, Lodi, San Joaquin County, California (see Figure 1) . The purpose of this investigation was to obtain field data regarding possible petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the soil surrounding the underground storage tanks and fuel dispensers onsite. Soil samples were collected and submitted to a California State certified laboratory for the following analyses: total petroleum hydrocarbons-gasoline (TPH-G); and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) . All documented field observations and laboratory data were further analyzed and have been summarized in this report. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is located on the northeast corner of West Lockford Street and Ham Lane in Lodi, San Joaquin County, California. The business operating onsite is a mini-mart convenience store and gasoline fuel sales. Currently three gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs) exist onsite in the southeast corner of the property. Four gasoline dispensers are located along the island to the west of the current building. Additionally, CTE reviewed a 1957 site plan of the property which depicts a second pump island to the south of the building. A site plan is included showing the layout of the property. FIELD INVESTIGATION Boring locations were selected by CTE based upon field observations and proximity to the USTs, dispensing units, and the former pump island. Underground Service Alert (USA) was notified prior to any field work in order to ensure the proposed borings would not encounter utility, water, or sewer lines. Additionally, groundwater maps were reviewed to determine the depth to the water table in the area. According to groundwater maps, groundwater is located approximately 45 feet below the surface in the vicinity of the site. Locations of the borings may be found in Figure 2. On June 15, 1994, CTE personnel were onsite to conduct the subsurface investigation. Three, six-inch diameter soil borings (B-1, B-2, and B-3) were advanced to depths of approximately 21 feet, using a hollow-stem auger B-61 drill rig. Soil samples were collected at 15 and 20 feet in each bore hole with a 2-inch interior diameter split spoon sampler containing 6-inch brass sleeves.
