Island Project are being overseen by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control <br /> (DTSC). The SJCEHD is continuing to oversee four areas with UST releases at the Banner <br /> Island Project, including the adjacent Carando Site,under their local oversight program(LOP). <br /> Until March 2004, the Site was occupied by several buildings. During March 2004,the buildings <br /> were demolished in preparation for redevelopment. Prior to the City's purchase,the Site had been <br /> vacant for several years and had previously been operated as a dealership and service center for <br /> Chase Chevrolet. This site was originally developed in the early 1900s and re-developed <br /> sometime after the mid-1960s for use as an auto dealership. Areas between buildings are mostly <br /> unpaved;however,there are some areas which are paved or covered with concrete slabs. UST <br /> remediation activities have taken place at the Site since the late 1980's. The Site is enrolled in the <br /> State Underground Storage Tank cleanup fund. <br /> A 1,000-gallon UST which reportedly stored gasoline and diesel,identified as Tank No. 7,was <br /> removed in 1986 and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination was documented during the removal <br /> (Figure 2). A free-product skimmer was used from prior to 1994 until 1996 at well MW-3, <br /> located adjacent to the former UST location. A soil vapor extraction system, including 23 air <br /> sparging wells,began operation in November 1999 and operated until February 2001. In June <br /> 2003,an ozone sparging system with 17 wells began operation at the site(Figure 2). <br /> Recent quarterly monitoring at the site was performed under the oversight of the SJCEHD using <br /> 12 groundwater monitoring wells(nine on-site and three off-site) (Figure 2). Five of these wells <br /> were sampled and the remainder used for groundwater elevation measurements. During <br /> December 2003,Treadwell&Rollo submitted a well destruction workplan to the SJCEHD <br /> (Treadwell&Rollo 2003),which was accepted on 12 January 2004(SJCEHD 2004a). Between <br /> 1 March 2004 and 26 March 2004,all on-site wells were destroyed according to the procedures <br /> described in the workplan, except for sparging well SW-10 which could not be located. Details <br /> of the well destruction were presented in the 2004 Workplan. <br /> 25971021.DJS 2 18 November 2004 <br />
