Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment <br />United Storage <br />2115 West Washington Street <br />Stockton, California <br />Delta Project No. A002-124-1 <br />Page 7 <br />4.6 Ground Water Regulatory Criteria <br />The California Department of Health Services has established Primary Maximum Contaminant Levels <br />(MCLs). The MCLs for contaminants identified at the subject property are provided in Table 2. These <br />guidelines were used for comparison purposes only as development of site-specific standards was not <br />within the scope of this assessment. <br />MTBE was detected at a concentration of 13 pg/L in the ground water sample collected from B-7, <br />equaling the MCL of 13 pg/L. TPH-D was detected in W-B8 and W-B10; however, no MCL has been <br />established for TPH-D. <br />5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Based on field observations and the results of laboratory analyses of ten soil and five ground water <br />samples at the United Storage property located at 2115 West Washington Street in Stockton, California, <br />Delta has identified the following potential environmental concerns: <br />Field observations indicated that PID levels above 100 ppmv were recorded in all borings with the <br />exception of B-3, B-7, and B-10. However, VOCs and TPH-G were not detected in any of the soil <br />samples. <br />Arsenic was detected in all ten soil samples at concentrations that exceed the PRGs for industrial <br />soils. However, the concentrations did not show significant variability and all soil samples were <br />collected from depths (between 8 and 16 feet bgs) at which metals impacts would not be <br />expected due to anthropologic activity. Delta therefore assumes that the arsenic concentrations <br />are representative of background soil quality in the area and do not signify impacts. <br />The mercury detections of 0.321 mg/kg in B1-12 and 0.102 mg/kg in B10-12 exceed the PRG of <br />0.0 mg/kg. These concentrations were an order of magnitude greater than the method detection <br />limit of 0.0835 mg/kg. <br />The MTBE concentration detected in ground water sample W-B7 was equal to the compound's <br />MCL. Additionally, elevated TPH-D concentrations were detected in ground water samples <br />collected from B-8 (1,100 pg/L) and B-10 (470 pg/L). <br />The subject property is situated in a predominantly industrial area and other properties in the area have <br />reported releases to the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. Based on the limited <br />extent and low concentrations of impacts identified during this Phase II ESA, Delta recommends no <br />further investigation at the subject property. In addition, Delta recommends that United Storage request <br />the issuance of a written concurrence from the county. Please note that as a condition of obtaining an <br />environmental drilling permit from the county, Westway is obligated to submit a copy of this report to the <br />county. <br />e:\westwayterminalco\a002124 \l-stockton, ca\docs\stockton phase ii report.doc
