1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND <br /> This report presents the results of groundwater sampling conducted in October,2003 at the County of San <br />' Joaquin Human Services Agency building located at 145 South Sutter Street,Stockton,California Monitoring <br /> well locations are presented on Figure 1-1 The following section presents a summary of previous <br /> investigations Appendix A presents historical groundwater analytical results <br /> In April 1988,WESTON supervised the removal of nine underground storage tanks(USTs)from a former <br />' gasoline station located on the northwest corner of Washington and Sutter Streets Petroleum hydrocarbons <br /> were detected in soil samples collected from beneath the tanks Following the excavation of an additional <br /> 2,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil, the pit was backfilled with clean soil <br /> An initial soil and groundwater investigation(Phase 1)was performed at the site by WESTON in December <br />' 1988 Dissolved hydrocarbons were detected in two of three monitor wells installed during this investigation <br /> (MW-2 and MW-3) The highest concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in monitor well <br />' MW-2 <br /> A Phase II groundwater investigation was completed in August 1991 which consisted of the installation of <br /> five additional monitor wells(MW-4 through MW-8),aquifer testing,and a tidal influence study During this <br /> investigation,hydrocarbons were detected in all five new monitor wells Subsequent quarterly groundwater <br />' monitoring results indicated that the highest concentrations of hydrocarbons were present in downgradient <br /> monitor wells MW-7 and MW-8 <br /> Following the Phase I1 investigation,monitor wells MW-2 and MW-3 went dry due to a drop in the regional <br /> groundwater table An additional deeper well(MW-2)was installed in 1995,during the Phase III investigation <br />' MW-3 was abandoned during this investigation Soil samples were collected from the boreholes of the new <br /> monitor wells During the installation of monitor well MW-2A, free product was observed in soil and <br />' groundwater Petroleum hydrocarbons were not detected in soil or groundwater samples collected from <br /> monitor well MW-3A <br />' A Phase IN investigation was conducted in August 1996 to collect additional soil contaminant concentration <br /> data in the vicinity of MW-2A and to collect upgradient groundwater analytical data As part of the planning <br />' of the Phase IV investigation,San Joaquin County Capitol Projects and the San Joaquin County Public Health <br /> Services Environmental Health Division(EHD)agreed that one year of quarterly groundwater monitoring <br /> would he performed according to the schedule presented in Table I-I It was also agreed that a corrective <br />' action plan (CAP) would be prepared following the completion of one year of quarterly groundwater <br /> monitoring (Roy F Weston, Work Plan for Phase IV Site Investigation and Quarterly Groundwater <br /> Sampling, February 1996) The Phase IV investigation of groundwater sampling confirmed that soil <br /> I TR01ECfS\SANJ0QVISMIQ03RPT WPb 1 <br />
