Ripona Market Fourth Quarter Groundwater Sampling Report February 2005 Page: 2 Groundwater flow direction was to the northeast with a very shallow gradient (North 20 East / 0.002) similar to past monitoring events. The groundwater elevations and groundwater flow direction are shown on Figure 2. Site Map / Groundwater Flow. Groundwater Elevations 02/03/05 Well Collar ElevaFion7 DTW GW Elevation MW-1 63.28 25.48 37.8 MW-2 63.59 25.8 37.79 MW-3 63.8 26.02 37.78 MW-4 63.52 25.76 37.76 The analytical laboratory reported groundwater contamination by MTBE in well MW-2, located at the edge of the tank basin. Trace concentrations (below drinking water standards) of aromatic hydrocarbons were detected in the deep well, MW4. Groundwater chemistry for the November 1, 2004 event is presented in Figures 3 and 4. An Oxygen low is present at MW 1 with higher oxygen concentrations measured in the down gradient wells. Dissolved oxygen distribution for the November 1, 2004 event is shown in Figure 5. Laboratory Groundwater Sample Results Petroleum Compounds 02/03/05 Sample I.D.

A survey of potential contamination plume receptors within 2,000 feet of the point of release identified a water well approximately 2000 feet from the former underground storage tanks. It appears that the release does not pose a risk to the identified water wells in the vicinity of Ripona Market. Quarterly monitoring of all wells will continue. An evaluation of the potential long term threat of the impacted groundwater and corrective action plan was submitted on October 28, 2004 to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department.
