PETROLEUM PUMPING STATION SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY Kinder Morgan Energy Partners through its operating partnership SFPP, L.P. (Discharger) owns and operates a petroleum pumping station at 2947 Navy Drive in Stockton. Facility operations have resulted in petroleum hydrocarbon pollution of soil and groundwater beneath the facility. Groundwater is first encountered at about 5 feet below ground surface. This pollution impaired the beneficial use of this water resource This Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) is issued pursuant to Section 13267 of the California Water Code and is necessary to delineate groundwater pollutant plumes and determine whether remediation efforts are effective. Existing data and information about the site show the presence of various chemicals, including benzene,toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, methyl tertiary butyl ether(MTBE), tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline and diesel, emanating from the property under the control of the Discharger. The Discharger shall not implement any changes to this MRP unless and until a revised MRP is issued by the Executive Officer. This MRP replaces the requirements listed in MRP No. 5-01-821, which was issued on 30 March 2001. Prior to construction of any new groundwater monitoring or extraction wells, and prior to abandonment of any groundwater monitoring or extraction wells, the Discharger shall submit plans and specifications to the Board for review and approval. Once installed, all new wells shall be added to the monitoring program and shall be sampled and analyzed according to the schedule below. GROUNDWATER MONITORING As shown on Figure 1, there are seven monitoring wells. The groundwater monitoring program for the seven monitoring wells and any wells installed subsequent to the issuance of this MRP, shall follow the schedule below. If sampling requirements for elimination of constituents have been met under the previous MRP, the Discharger is not required to sample for those constituents again based on the new requirements. Monitoring wells with free phase petroleum product or visible sheen shall be monitored, at a minimum, for product thickness and depth to water. Sample collection and analysis shall follow standard EPA protocol.
