LM LEEp$HILL HERKENHOFF, INC PROJECT SITE BACKGROUND 2.1 Site Information The project site is located at 102 South Wilson Way in Stockton, California (see Figure 1) According to a permit application filed with Stockton City Hall , four fuel tanks from a former service station were removed from the site in late 1978. Two 7,500-gallon tanks were located in the center of the site, and one 300-gallon tank and one 1000-gallon tank were located at the southern end of the site (see Figure 2) . It is not known how long these tanks were utilized by the service station; however, information from the San Joaquin County Recorder's office indicates that the site has been a service station since at least the early 1930's. This information is presented in Appendix C. In 1936 the property was purchased by Giuseppe and Angela Caffese from Oil Products Company, Ltd. Included in this purchase was the land as well as all equipment, fixtures, gasoline pumps and all other personal property located at the premises upon which Oil Products Company conducted a gasoline and service station business at the southeast corner of Wilson Way and Market Street. Two 550-gallon underground gasoline storage tanks were located on the property In 1947 the property was sold to Harold and Dena Knowles. The site became the Knowles Gas Station. At that time, the following underground tanks were also purchased: One 15,000-gallon, one 7,500-gallon, one 1,000-gallon, and four 550 IP gallon. It is not known whether any or all of these tanks were installed at this site. The site was then sold in 1977 to Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company. In late 1978 four underground storage tanks were excavated and removed from the site. Information regarding disposal of the tanks and/or excavated material is not available It is believed that the site was then paved and used as a parking area by Pepsi until 1985 when the site was purchased by the Roek Brothers. To date the site remains vacant. Presently, the site is surrounded by a chain-link fence except for the southern fifteen feet of the property and the western ten feet of the property (see Figure 2) . An approximately four foot deep excavation exists near the center of the property, covering an area of approximately 350 square feet. The excavated soil remains stockpiled on the eastern side of the property The property is paved with asphalt. A 6-inch sanitary sewer line runs parallel to Upson Way approximately three feet east of the western property line. Two operating service stations are located within 100 feet of the site. West of the site, on the opposite side of Milson tray is a Texaco station. An ARCO station neighbors the site to the south. 202 Previous $nvestigations In May of 1987, BCA prepared a report entitled, "Hydrocarbon Evaluation Study for Arco Aft/PH Facility, Ui l son Uay and tilash i ngton Street, Stockton, California.
