ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Rusted Car Placed Onto Soil During the SJCEHD walkthrough at the Bonnie Plants facility, SJCEHD personnel observed the unearthed car (mentioned previously in this report) located at the north end of the pesticide storage warehouse (Figure 2). Per the Notice to Abate, 'the car was located at the north end of the pesticide storage warehouse near a CAL-WASTE 40-yard roll-off bin. The car was partially dismantled and covered by soil residue suggesting that it had been recently unearthed. Approximately half a cup of car fluids had leaked onto the soil from the excavated car. According to received photographic evidence, this car was previously buried onsite. The shallow excavation pit from which the car was removed was filled with liquid during car removal activities, and stacks of pallets were placed over the location where the hole had been backfilled.' Atlas personnel arranged to have the car removed from the property on January 14, 2022. The car was removed by Get My Junk Out towing company of Stockton, California. The car was removed using a flat bed truck and disposed of as scrap material. After removal of the car, Atlas personnel collected a soil sample in the location where the car was located. A surficial soil sample (JCS-1) for laboratory analyses was collected using USEPA Method 5035 and placed into laboratory-supplied containers. The sample was then placed in a cooler full of ice and submitted under chain-of-custody protocol and analyzed at Pace Analytical, Inc. (Mount Juliet, Tennessee) for the following: TPH-g, TPH-d, TPH-mo and TPH-rr by USEPA Method 8015; VOCs using USEPA Method 8260B; Title 22 Metals by USEPA Method 6010B; Total Solids by Method 2540 G-2011. Laboratory analytical results for soil sample JCS-1 yielded elevated concentrations of TPH-g (0.187 V32 mg/kg), TPH-d (57.4 J mg/kg), TPH-mo (677 mg/kg) and TPH-rr (973 mg/kg). Toluene (0.00610 mg/kg) and total xylenes (0.00236 J mg/kg) were detected in sample JCS-1 also. Various metals were detected above their respective laboratory reporting limits in soil samples JCS-1. Notable metals detected included arsenic (2.44 mg/kg) lead (12.4 mg/kg) and mercury (0.0275 J mg/kg). 2 V3 — Indicates that the internal standard exhibited poor recovery due to sample matrix interference. The analytical results will be biased high. The laboratory analytical results for soil sample JCS-1 are tabulated in Tables 1 and 3. The laboratory analytical report and chain-of-custody documentation is provided in Appendix F. Pictures of the car removal are provided in Appendix E.
