Wet Fertilizer Mixing Stations Bonnie Plants personnel tightened all leaky connections at the wet fertilizer mixing stations and provided secondary containment for these locations as well. Pictures of the secondary containment for the wet fertilizer mixing stations that were taken on March 22, 2022, are provided in Appendix E. CONCLUSIONS In response to the SJCEHD's August 2021 Notice to Abate, Atlas performed a combined GPR/EMI survey that indicated that no additional cars were buried at the Bonnie Plants facility. Atlas personnel conducted a site assessment event on November 14, 2021, to show that the area where the car was buried was 'free of contamination' per the SJCEHD Notice to Abate. Laboratory analytical results for soil samples collected during the November 14th assessment yielded trace concentrations of TP-d, TPH-mo, TPH-rr PCE and 1,1- trichloroethane that were below their respective SFBRWQCB ESLs. After the November 2021 assessment activities were concluded, Atlas personnel oversaw the hand excavation of impacted soil where the 'dark oily staining near the silo' was observed. Results of confirmation soil sample Waste Profile #1, collected upon completion of the hand excavation, indicate that the soil excavation efforts were successful in removing the impacted soil and no analytes detected above their respective laboratory reporting limits in soil sample Waste Profile #1 were in excess of their respective ESLs. Based on elevated laboratory analytical results for soil sample JCS-1, collected in the soil beneath where the Jeep was placed after exhumation, Atlas personnel returned to the site on February 22, 2022, to perform soil sampling at the locations shown in Figure 2. Analytical results for soil samples collected on February 22, 2022, yielded trace concentrations of VOC and TPH constituents and metals. Laboratory analytical results for soil samples collected during the February 2022 assessment were below their respective SFBRWQCB ESLs with the exception of arsenic concentrations that fall within background arsenic concentrations for the area. Laboratory analytical concentrations for all soil samples collected during the November 4, 2021, and February 22, 2022, site assessment events indicate that excessive soil contamination is not present where the car was buried or where the car was placed after it was exhumed. The laboratory analytical results for VOCs and TPH analytes and metals observed for soil samples collected during the February 22 assessment indicate that the petroleum impact observed in analytical results for soil sample JCS-1 is limited to surficial soil where the car was placed prior to offsite transportation and disposal. Atlas personnel worked with Bonnie Plants management to provide secondary containment for all wet and dry fertilizer storage locations. Atlas personnel reported the required hazardous materials business plan inventory requirements for the hazardous materials stored onsite to the CERS system on October 29, 2021. All corrective actions related to secondary containment issues observed by SJCEHD personnel were addressed by March 22, 2022. Therefore, Atlas feels that all corrective actions outlined in the Notice to Abate have been addressed adequately for the Bonnie Plants facility in Linden, California.
