<br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health De artment (EHD) has reviewed Second
<br /> Quarter 2008 Groundwater Monitoring Report (QMR) dated July 30, 2008 and Well
<br /> Installation Report, Monitoring Wells DMW-1q DMW-11, DMW-92, DMW-93, and
<br /> DMW-14 (WIR), dated July 31, 2008, submitted on your behalf by URS Corporation .
<br /> Americas (URS) and comments as follows:
<br /> During April 2008, groundwater- monitoring w IIs DMW-10, DMW-11, ©MW-1,2,,
<br /> DMW-13, and DMW-14 were installed to provided ateral and vertical delineationof 1;2-

<br /> gradient of the source area in the shallow ground water zone between 32 and 52 feet
<br /> below surface grade (bsg), in the intermediate gr undwater zone between 52 and 72
<br /> feet bsg, and in the deeper water zone in the source area at depths greater than 80 feet
<br /> bsg.
<br /> In the WIR, URS concludes that closure requirements have been met, including
<br /> completion of the vertical and lateral delineation f the extent of the 1,2-DCA ground
<br /> water contamination, and demonstrating declining groundwater concentrations of 1,2-
<br /> DCA in all wells with a projected date of the year 2016 to drop below laboratory

<br /> QMR that the lateral extent of the 1,2-DCA co tamination plume is defined cross-

<br /> gradient toward the west by DMW-12, also screened from 58 to 68 feet bsg, with
<br /> concentrations of 0.80 micrograms per liter (pgll) and 1.9 pg/l, respectively. URS notes
<br /> in the WIR and QMR that the vertical extent of the 1,2-DCA contamination plume is
<br /> defined at the source area by DMW-14, screened from 90 to 100 feet bsg, with
<br /> concentrations below detection limits during the 2nd quarter 2008 monitoring event.
