15 September 2003 <br />AGE-NC Project No. 03-1064 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />Building 2511 <br />HF Hawley Chemical Corporation in 1966. The Polk city directory listed the HF Hawley <br />Chemical Corporation at the 2511 North West Lane address in 1966; however, a previous <br />AGE investigation in the site area placed the HF Hawley Chemical Corporation at 3909 <br />North West Lane during this same time period. The listing of HF Hawley Chemical <br />Corporation at the site address may be an error. <br />Hobart Manufacturing Corporation from the early 1970s until the early 1990s. <br />In addition to building usage, public records show that three, separate septic systems were installed <br />on the property in 1952, 1961 and 1963 (Figure 2); the approximate locations of the septic systems <br />are based on un-scaled site septic system diagrams (Appendix A) reviewed at the SJCEHD. <br />2.1. REGIONAL GEOLOGIC/HYDROGEOLOGIC SETTING <br />The site is situated within the southern portion of the Great Valley Geomorphic Province of <br />California, a large, elongate, northwest trending, asymmetric structural trough; the northern and <br />southern portions of the Province have been designated the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, <br />The Province is bordered by the Coast Ranges to the west, the Klamath Mountains and Cascade <br />Range to the north, and the Sierra Nevada to the east. <br />The Great Valley has been filled with sediments derived from both marine and continental sources. <br />Thickness of the sedimentary fill ranges from thin veneers along the valley edges to more than <br />20,000 feet in the south central portion of the valley. The sedimentary formations range in age from <br />Jurassic to Recent, with the older deposits being primarily marine in origin and the younger deposits <br />being primarily continental. Continental-derived sediments were primarily deposited in lacustrine, <br />fluvial, and alluvial environments with sediment sources being the mountain ranges surrounding the <br />valley (Olmsted and Davis, 1961); the site itself is located on unconsolidated and semi-consolidated <br />alluvium, lake, playa and terrace deposits of Quaternary age (California Division of Mines and <br />Geology, 1977). Rocks composing the basement complex of the Province have not been completely <br />defined but are believed to be metamorphic and igneous in origin. <br />The Modesto, Riverbank and Turlock Lake Formations and overlying Recent alluvium are the <br />principal sources of domestic ground water in the 13,500-square mile San Joaquin Valley Ground <br />Water Basin (Basin 5-22). Based on ground water monitoring data at a site north of the Mock <br />property (American Moulding and Millwork Company at 2801 North West Lane), ground water <br />occurs at approximately 35 feet below surface grade in March 1999, and was flowing toward the <br />northeast (Dames & Moore, 1999).
