Re: 4t" Quarter 2010 Groundwater Monitoring Report for Bernard &
Sons, Inc. located at 4011 Jewett Ave.
Dear Mr. Ulmer,
This office has reviewed the 4t" quarter groundwater monitoring report
submitted by HerSchy Environmental Inc. dated January 7, 2011 and at this
time we are not in concurrence with the recommendations to grant a low risk
closure. While the amount of water in the Carrier Canal adjacent to the Kern
River .20 miles north may have an effect on the perched water zone at your
former storage tank location, our office would like to confirm that the high
water table after the record rain fall is or is not affecting the plume.
There is a discrepancy in the report whereas table 2 indicates no levels
greater than 50ug/L and the text states that the amounts in monitoring wells
1 and 2 are slightly over the screening levels. The laboratory, Castle
Analytical, that processed the water samples indicates a total petroleum
hydrocarbon for diesel. (TPH-d) recorded in monitoring well 1 at 290 ug/L
and in monitoring well 2 of 280ug/L. Based on the sample readings and the
unusually high water level, this office would request at least two more
quarterly monitoring reports that will confirm lower than screening levels or
non-detect for TPH-d.
As was noted in the previous letter dated October 13, 2010, all reports must
be up-loaded into "GeoTracker", the case number is T10000002582.
If you have any additional questions, please call me at (661) 326-3684.

Sincerely,
