STATE OF CALIFORNIA �,,,,� , PETE WILSON, Governor <br /> CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD, <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> 3443 Routier Road, Suite A r "d <br /> Sacramento,CA 958273098 <br /> PHONE: (916)3613600 , __. { <br /> FAX (916)361-5686 <br /> SEP 1 2 192 <br /> ENVIRONMEWAL HEALTH <br /> 10 September 1992 PERMIT/SERVICES <br /> Mr. William Withrow <br /> PM Ag Products <br /> 1055 W. 175 St <br /> Homewood, IL 60430 <br /> PM AG PRODUCTS FACILITY AT 2130 W. WASHINGTON, STOCKTON <br /> Thank you for sending me a copy of the "Phase I and Phase II Real Estate <br /> Transaction Assessment" prepared by Mittlehauser Corporation in May 1991 . I <br /> have reviewed the document, and find two areas of concern. <br /> First, soil analyzed from boring B-7 contains high levels of total Kjeldahl <br /> nitrogen, phosphate, total dissolved solids, and chemical oxygen demand, <br /> indicating a spill of fertilizer material at some time in the past. Second, <br /> the surface soil from boring B-5 contains relatively high total petroleum <br /> hydrocarbons, and oil and grease levels. However, the laboratory analysis was <br /> not sufficient to determine whether these products may impact ground water. <br /> Based on the above, the Regional Board must concur with the San Joaquin County <br /> letter (dated 10 August 1992) that the site is slightly contaminated, and must <br /> request PM Ag Products to complete further investigative and remediation <br /> tasks. Therefore, by 31 October 1992, please submit a workplan containing (1) <br /> a plan to reduce the total nitrogen levels in the soils near boring B-7 to <br /> approximately 100 ppm, and (2) a plan to resample and reanalyze the surface <br /> soil near boring B-5. The resampled soil must be analyzed for TPH-G (GCFID <br /> method 5030) , TPH-D (GCFID method 3550) , oil and grease (method 5520 D&F or <br /> E&F) , and BTEX (method 8020) . <br /> As discussed earlier, I would be happy to meet with you at both PM Ag sites in <br /> early November. At that time, we can discuss whether PM Ag wishes to make any <br /> physical and/or management changes necessary to eliminate the discharge of <br /> waste, or whether the Board should prepare waste discharge requirements for <br /> both sites. <br /> If you have any questions, or wish to arrange the November meeting, I can be <br /> reached at (916) 36175704. <br /> i <br /> I <br /> WENDY WYE S <br /> Ag Regulatory Unit <br /> cc: Mr. Michael Infurna, San Joaquin County Environmental Health, Stockton <br />
