The following constituents were reported to be present from GeoAnalytical Laboratories Report #S6D2007 from soil sample SFM-SB 1-0.5. Analyte Method Reporting Limit Analytical Result Iodine USEPA SM4500-I BM 25 mg/kg Below analytical method detection limit pH USEPA 9045 NA 7.8 units Chloride USEPA 300.0 10 mg/kg 11 mg/kg Motor Oil USEPA 8015M 10 mg/kg Below analytical method detection limits Diesel USEPA 8015M 1 mg/kg Below analytical method detection limits Kerosene USEPA 8015M 1 mg/kg Below analytical method detection limits Gasoline USEPA 8015M 1 mg/kg Below analytical method detection limits A full-scan USEPA Test Method 8260B analysis of soil sample SFM-SBI-0.5 was reported to contain concentrations below analytical method detection limits for all analytes. None of these concentrations were found to be considered as hazardous waste under definition of California or federal definitions. During the afternoon of April 20, 2006 a new 1900 gallon septic tank was installed by PBL, Stockton, California. The new septic tank was hooked up and upon inspection by PHSEHD staff the new septic tank was found to be leaking sewage from a series of cracks on the north wall of the tank and from the sides where adhesive sealant material had not been placed by the septic tank manufacturer. During the inspection of the lines leading into and out of the septic tank it became clear to PHSEHD staff that the tank was also not correctly vertically located so that the drainage through the system would be continuously dropping. PHSEHD staff on site directed the tank to be removed and replaced with the new installation placed so as to insure the continuous vertical drop over the system so as to insure proper drainage of the septic system. On May 2, 2006 the septic tank was again pumped out by Frank Jr. with about 1600 gallons delivered under manifest to SRWCF. The leaking septic tank was removed and a new tank of similar design and capacity was placed in the hole. The vertical line drop for the new tank and the pipes into and out of the tank were adjusted until a continuous vertical drop of the flow lines and septic tank was achieved. VJ The distance from the southeast corner of the septic tank to the site water supply well in front of the motel was surveyed using a Trimble ProXRS surveying system. This system is capable of accurately mapping locations to within 0.5 foot horizontal. The distance from the well site to the nearest corner of the septic tank was found to be 104.5 feet. This is 4.5 feet beyond the minimum 100 foot distance established by San Joaquin County ordinances for distances from Main\Environmental\St.FrancisMotel\Report\Report05252006.wpd II
