AEI Project No. 305662 <br /> ' March 16, 2012 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> ' Metals. The following constituents of concern (CDCs) were detected in groundwater: <br /> Chloroform (320 parts per billion - ppb), and TPH (430 ppb). The CDCs were detected above <br /> their respective Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Environmental Screening Levels <br /> (ESLs) of 70 ppb and 100 ppb, respectively. <br /> Additionally Advanced GeoEnvironmental Inc. performed a Preliminary Site Assessment in <br /> ' January and February 1998 and determined that no USTs were present onsite. However; in <br /> October 1998, the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (SJCEHD) responded <br /> to a complaint that a UST(volume not stated) had been removed from the subject property and <br /> was being stored on site. As a result, the SJCEHD required the property owner to obtain a tank <br /> identification number and complete state UST forms. In September 1999, the complaint log <br /> indicated that a UST was removed under permit. The incident, which originated in October <br /> 1998, was noted as "abated" in February 2000. No UST removal reports or confirmation <br /> ' soil/groundwater sample data was on file with the SJCEHD. Due to the fact that TPH and <br /> Chloroform were reported above ESLs in groundwater at the site and the lack of any <br /> documented samples collected from either of the UST removals, AEI issued a proposal to <br /> ' further investigate these issues. The scope of the proposed investigation is detailed below. <br /> II Geology and Hydrogeology <br /> ' According to the previous investigations at the property noted above and in the Phase I ESA, <br /> the soils consist of silty clay to a depth of at least 25 feet bgs, the maximum depth explored. <br /> ' According to the Phase I ESA, the depth to groundwater is approximately 47 feet bgs. <br /> According to information from a nearby site (2050 East Fremont Street), the direction of <br /> groundwater flow beneath the property is inferred to be to the northeast. <br /> ' III Scope of Work <br /> Drilling permits will be obtained from San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> (SJCEHD) for this investigation. The public underground utility locating service Underground <br /> Service Alert will be notified to identify public utilities in the work area. Private utility locating <br /> ' will be conducted an independent utility locating company to identify underground utilities on <br /> the property. A site-specific health and safety plan will be prepared, reviewed by onsite <br /> personnel, and kept onsite for the duration of the fieldwork. This work will be performed under <br /> the oversight of a licensed professional. <br /> Geophysical Survey <br /> ' AEI will arrange for a geophysical survey to investigate the possible presence of USrs <br /> throughout the site, as accessible. The purpose of the survey is to assess whether any USTs <br /> ' remain in place or whether evidence of former UST cavity(s) are present. The survey will be <br /> performed in the western portion of the northern parking lot area of the site in the area <br /> denoted by the Sanborn maps as being "oil and gas" (Figure 2). <br /> ' A magnetometer will be employed to identify any large magnetic anomalies. Ground- <br /> penetrating radar (GPR) will also be used to either confirm the size and orientation of any <br /> 1 <br />
