With the exception of Se tembe.r <br /> P P. <br /> 2004, 1,2-DCA"has not been detected in'the deepest monitoring well DMW-8 screened at 80 •r <br /> feet below sui ice grade (bsg). Tetrachloroethene (PCE) has also been detected in DMW-9, <br /> but has not been detected in any other wells. Total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPH- <br /> d)has decreased to non-detect level in alt wells. <br /> EHD does not agree with URS'request for site closure. The lateral extent of 1,2-DCA <br /> contamination plume has not been defined,especially in the down-gradient direction of the <br /> groundwater#low. Additional investigation of the groundwater contamination plume is <br /> required. Submit a work plan to EHD that will define the extent of the groundwater <br /> contamination plume by June 15,2005. <br /> URS has concluded that because PCE has been found only in DMW-9 groundwater <br /> samples,the origin of the PCE release may not be on-site. EHD has no comment on the <br /> 'EHD is not actively looking for any chemicals that <br /> conclusion UAS presented at this time. <br /> '. can not be traced to underground storage tanks (UST) as the source of release. In a <br /> telephone conversation on May 3,2005,California Regional Water-Quality Control-Board <br /> (RWQCB) concurred with EHD that•PCE should continue to be reported only to fulfill the <br /> "report all peaks" of the 8260B analyses requirement_ EHD is not requiting further <br /> investigation of the PCE found in DMW-9 samples at this time,but PCE and other peaks in <br /> 8260B analyses.should continue to be reported. <br />
