PERMIT # A105-20/200016 This is to advise you that this Department has reviewed the project results for the preliminary assessment associated with the closure of the tanks noted above. Based upon the sample results submitted, this Department is satisfied that the assessment is complete. Based on current requirements and policies, no further action is indicated at this time. It is important to note that this letter does not relieve you of further responsibilities mandated under the California Health and Safety Code and California Water Code if additional or previously unidentified contamination at the subject site causes or threatens to cause pollution or nuisance or is found to pose a significant threat to public health.

' RE: Fuel Seepage Investigation/Tank Removal Southeast Corner of Chester and Second Avenues Bakersfield, California Gentlemen: In accordance with your request, we have completed sampling of soils beneath t~ underground storage tanks at the above-referenced project site. It is understood the tanks will eventually be removed from 'the site. Ordinance G-39~1 addresses standards, permits and fees for underground storage tanks containing hazardous substances. Chapter 5 (Abandonment), Section 3912.5.03 within the Ordinance specifically addresses the closure of an underground tank facility. A summation of the most applicable section for the purpose of this report is as follows: Section 3912.5.03- No person shall close an underground storage tank unless the person undertakes the following actions after first obtaining a permit from the Permitting Authority: D. DemOnstrates to the Permitting Authority that there has been no significant soil contamination resulting from a discharge in the area surrounding the underground storage tank or facility. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if significant soil contamination had occurred at the site. Main Office: Fresno/Clovis · 3860 N. Winery · Fresno, California 93726 · (209) 291-7337 Bakersfield (805) 832-8909 [] Visa/ia (209) 625-8251 [] Merced (209) 383-3993 Page No. 2 Proj No. B85-072 SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION The scope of this investigation was limited to sampling of soils directl~ beneath the underground storage tanks and chemical analysis of those samples to determine the presence of Benzene, Toluene, Xylenes, Ethylene Dibromide and Organic Lead. The BTX and EDB analysis were conducted in accordance with EPA Test Methods 3020 and 8020 (EPA 602, modified for soils). Additionally, a sample of the content of each tank was obtained and analyzed for the same constituents as the soils. The aforementioned EPA methodology was utilized for these samples also. The storage 'tanks 'were visually examined for obvious leaks. The excavation sides and bottom were examined for any discoloration that might be indicative of fuel seepage. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The soils observed in the tank excavation consisted generally of well graded sand. The soils appeared to remain fairly consistent in texture and color to the maximum depth of the excavation. Groundwater was not encountered to the maximum depth of the excavation. The elevation of the groundwater surface is estimated to be approximately: !30 to the Spring 1983 "Depth to Groundwater~ Unconfined and Equivalent Wells Used For Control" map, prepared by the Kern County Water Agency. FIELD INVESTIGATION At the time of our field investigation, an open excavation was noted to contain ~ underground storage tanks. These storage tanks were estimated to be approximately 300-gallon capacity tanks. Two of the tanks experienced minor damage during excavation and spilled about 2 gallons of. the substance from the tank, causing a minor area of slight discoloration in the adjacent soils. KRAZAN & ASSOCIA'FES, INC. Page No. 3 No. B85-072 The soil samples beneath the tanks were obtained while the tanks remained in the excavation. The tanks were rolled slightly to one side to allow a sample to be taken directly beneath each tank. Kern County Division of Environmental 'Health recommendations for sampling beneath underground fuel tanks to be removed states soil samples should be obtained directly beneath the each tank. Recommended soil sample depths are two and six feet below each tank bottom. Soil samples were limited ~o an approximate depth of 2 feet below the tank bottoms due to the caving nature of the granular soils in the excavation. A sample of the contents of each tank was obtained at the contractors request. The contents of the tanks was a slurry-mud type substance which was extracted by means of pipette, then transferred to sample containers for transport. No samples were taken in product line areas. Product lines were contained within th~ confines of' the tank excavation. Refer to the attached map for sample locations. EXTENT OF CONTAMINATION Chemical analysis of the Soil samples taken from beneath the tanks resulted in concentrations of Benzene, Toluene~ the Xylenes, and Ethylene Dibromide below the detection limits which was consistent with our field observations. Chemical analysis of the slurry from inside .the tanks exhibited the presence of Benzene, Toluene~ Xylenes~ Ethylbenzene, Isopropylbenzene, and Organic Lead. Table I is a summary of laboratory data. Specific laboratory test results are also presented at the end of the text. CONCLUSIONS No soil contamination was detected beneath the tanks in the excavation at the project site. It is therefore concluded that no obvious contamination has occurred at this site, and any slight contamination would not appear to be a threat to groundwater resources. KRAZAN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
