Hydrocarbon fuels were stored and dispensed at the site for <br /> ' approximately 25 years. <br /> ' SITE LOCATION <br /> The site is located in a relatively flat, industrial/commercial area in northern Ripon, south of Jack <br /> Tone Road. The site is currently operated by RFS. A former automotive shop is located near the <br /> northeast corner of the site,and an office building and truck scale are located at the southern corner. <br /> ' The surface of the remainder of the site is covered with gravel. The Jimco Truck Stop is located <br /> immediately north of the site. <br /> ' REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL/HYDROGEOLOGICAL SETTING <br /> ' The site is situated within the Great Valley Geomorphic Province of California, a large, elongate, <br /> northwest trending, asymmetric structural trough. The Great Valley Province has been filled with <br /> thick sequences of sediment ranging in age from Jurassic to Recent, creating a nearly flat lying <br /> ' alluvial plain extending from the Tehachapi Mountains in the south to the Klamath Mountains in the <br /> north. The western and eastern boundaries of this province are comprised of the California Coast <br /> Range and the Sierra Nevada,respectively.Rocks composing the basement complex of the province <br /> ' have not been completely defined but are believed to be of metamorphic and igneous origin. The <br /> Great Valley Province has been subdivided into two major divisions identified as the Sacramento <br /> and San Joaquin Valleys. <br /> ' The Modesto, Riverbank, and Turlock Lake Formations and overlying Recent alluvium are the <br /> 3'I g <br /> principal sources of domestic ground water in the 13,500-square mile San Joaquin Valley Ground <br /> ' Water Basin (Basin 5-22). This basin is drained primarily by the San Joaquin River. <br /> LOCAL GROUND WATER SETTING <br /> ' The closest surface water feature to the site is the Stanislaus River,located approximately 9,000 feet <br /> south of the site. The river is used primarily for agricultural use and recreational boating. Ground <br /> water is currently encountered at a depth of approximately 26 feet below surface grade (bsg)at the <br /> site, and has a northerly flow direction. Ground water has occurred at a level high of 15 feet bsg. <br /> Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
