W. Luci Thater - 2 - 14 September 2006 <br /> 336 Lc:cust St, Lodi, San Job ,,ain County <br /> hours t,ie pumping test was stopped due to drawdown below the pump intake of the water column in <br /> the casing of MW-1 The calculated maximum radii of influence (Figure 5) were: 94 feet (2 gpm), <br /> 122 feEt (3 gpm) and 118 feet (4 gpm). Since eastern boring B-3 is 19 feet from MW-1, it appears that <br /> the entre groundwater plume may be treated by extraction from this one well. Only Ethylbenzene <br /> (4.2 pg IL after one hour) and Xylenes (12.6 pg/L after one hour and 2.5 pg/L after 3 hours) were <br /> detected in groundwater sampled during the pump test. Constituents of concern were not detected in <br /> samples collected later in the pumping test. In contrast, the quarterly monitoring groundwater <br /> concentrations for TPHg in MW-1 were: 1,500 pg/L in February 2006, 800 pg/L in May 2006, and <br /> 1 200 1,g/L taken one week prior to the pumping test. Note that the pumping test was conducted one <br /> day after the SVE pilot study, which may have affected the analytical results of the pumping test. The <br /> Report concluded that groundwater pumping and treatment is an effective remedial alternative for <br /> petrole,im hydrocarbon pollution in groundwater. <br /> The RE port recommends that SVE and groundwater pump and treatment be implemented as an <br /> interim remediation, and the submittal of an Interim Remedial Action Work Plan. The Report also <br /> recommends the installation of one monitoring well located at soil boring B3, to monitor the eastern <br /> edge o' the groundwater plume. <br /> Comments. <br /> I concur with the Report conclusions and recommendations for an Interim Remediation consisting of <br /> SVE• aid groundwater pump and treatment, and the installation of one additional monitoring well east <br /> of MW-1. The proposed remediation is reasonable and necessary to remediate soil and groundwater <br /> beneath the Site, and to prevent vapor migration to neighboring residences surrounding the Site. Also, <br /> you have indicated in conversations that unless the remediation is expedited and completed by <br /> November 2006, the City of Lodi will revoke your building permit for your new residence at the Site. <br /> Please expedite and submit the Interim Remedial Action Work Plan by 25 September 2006, and be <br /> prepared to begin interim remediation by 29 September 2006. The treated water discharge will be <br /> under a City of Lodi permit to the sewer. The SVE treatment system must be constructed in a manner <br /> that is less than obtrusive to the residential neighborhood. The new monitoring well (MW-5) is also <br /> approved (as built to the specifications of existing MW-2 through MW-4), and must be installed no later <br /> than 15 October 2006. Acquire all applicable well and air permits, and provide at least 3 working days <br /> notice to San Joaquin County staff and myself prior to commencement of fieldwork.
