Gentlemen:
P&D Environmental, Inc. (P&D) is pleased to present this report documenting the most recent
monitoring and sampling of groundwater monitoring wells MW1, MW2, and MW3 for the subject
site. This work was performed in accordance with a letter from the San Francisco Bay Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) dated May 1, 2008 requesting the monitoring and
sampling of the wells. The wells were monitored and sampled on May 8, 2008. A Site Location
Map (Figure 1) and Site Vicinity Map (Figure 2) are attached with this report.
All work was performed under the direct supervision of a professional geologist and in accordance
with guidelines set forth in the document "Tri-Regional Board Staff Recommendations for
Preliminary Evaluation and Investigation of Underground Tank Sites" dated August 10, 1990 and
"Appendix A - Workplan for Initial Subsurface Investigation" dated August 20, 1991.
BACKGROUND
It is P&D's understanding that Apex Envirotech, Inc. (Apex), performed a soil and groundwater
investigation on September 19, 1995. This investigation was reported to have been performed in
response to analytical results for a groundwater sample collected from the observation well in the
backfill of the underground storage tank (UST) pit. The investigation consisted of the drilling of
ten soil borings and the collection of soil and groundwater samples.
On October 9 and 10, 1995 two steel, single-walled USTs were removed from the subject site. The
results of the soil and groundwater investigation conducted in September 1995, and the UST pit and
product line trench soil sampling were documented by Apex in a report titled "Results of Limited
Subsurface Investigation & Underground Storage Tank Removal" dated January 3, 1996.
On November 19, 1996, Apex installed two groundwater monitoring wells designated as MW1 and
MW2 at the subject site. The installation of groundwater monitoring wells MW1 and MW2 was

documented by Apex in a report titled "Limited Subsurface Investigation Results Report" dated
December 16, 1996.
On March 11, 1997, Apex installed a third groundwater monitoring well designated as MW3 at a
location down gradient from the UST pit, in the Miller Avenue right-of-way. The installation of
groundwater monitoring well MW3 was documented by Apex in a report titled "Results of
Additional Limited Subsurface Investigation" dated March 28, 1997.
In a letter dated August 6, 1997 Mr. Steve Morse of the San Francisco Bay Regional Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) requested quarterly groundwater monitoring and sampling for three
quarters for the three monitoring wells. In addition, a sensitive receptor study for all domestic wells
located within 1,000 feet of the site was also requested. The results of the sensitive receptor study
were submitted in P&D's document titled, “Domestic Water Wells Survey” (Letter 0154.L1) dated
September 10, 1997. The three requested quarterly groundwater monitoring and sampling events
were performed on September 1 and December 19, 1997 and March 22, 1998. Each monitoring
and sampling event was documented in a report, with the third event documented in P&D’s
Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring and Sampling Report (document 0154.R3) dated June 30, 1998.
In a letter dated January 26, 1999 the RWQCB requested that the groundwater flow direction be
further evaluated by four groundwater monitoring episodes and that a door-to-door water well
survey be performed within a 2,000-foot radius of the site. During a telephone conversation on
April 30, 1999 between P&D and Mr. John Jang of the RWQCB, it was agreed that the door-to-
door survey would be performed by mailing a survey form to addresses located within 2,000 feet of
the site. The results of the groundwater flow direction monitoring were provided to the RWQCB in
P&D's Groundwater Flow Direction letter (document 0154.L10) dated November 2, 1999.
Documentation of the door-to-door well survey was provided to the RWQCB in P&D's Well
Survey Results letter (document 0154.L13) dated June 13, 2000.
In a letter dated September 21, 2000, Mr. Stephen Hill of the RWQCB requested a work plan to
determine the extent of MTBE in groundwater, and to identify the presence of any domestic water
wells within the MTBE plume. P&D submitted a Subsurface Investigation Work Plan (Work Plan
0154.W1) dated October 24, 2000. The work plan was subsequently approved in a letter from the
RWQCB dated January 12, 2001. Based on comments in the RWQCB letter, one additional
borehole was added to the scope of work in the work plan, and the wells were sampled as part of
the subsurface investigation. In a letter dated May 11, 2001 (Letter 0154.L17) from P&D to the
RWQCB, a 60 day extension for submittal of the subsurface investigation report was requested.
On June 21, 2001 a total of 6 soil borings designated as B1 through B6 were drilled in the vicinity
of the subject site to evaluate the presence or extent of petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater.
One groundwater grab sample was collected from each borehole. In addition, the three
groundwater monitoring wells were sampled on June 24, 2001. Groundwater was encountered in
the majority of the boreholes at a depth of approximately 12.0 feet below the ground surface, and
within five minutes had risen in the boreholes to a measured depth of between 4.3 and 8.5 feet
below the ground surface. The subsurface materials encountered in the boreholes consisted of silty

clay. Documentation of the subsurface investigation and well sampling event is provided in P&D’s
Subsurface Investigation report dated July 10, 2001 (document 0154.R4).
In a letter dated November 30, 2001 the RWQCB requested a work plan to further define the extent
of MTBE detected in groundwater. P&D subsequently submitted a Subsurface Investigation Work
Plan dated February 25, 2002 (document 0154.W2). The work plan was approved in a letter from
the RWQCB dated September 13, 2002, with a letter from the RWQCB dated December 16, 2002
granting a time extension for technical report submittal. Boreholes B7 through B14 were drilled on
March 21, 2003 and the three groundwater monitoring wells for the site were sampled on March 27,
2003. Documentation of the subsurface investigation and well sampling event is provided in
P&D’s Subsurface Investigation report dated September 11, 2003. Based on the sample results
P&D concluded that the horizontal extent of MTBE in groundwater had been delineated and
recommended that no further investigation be performed.
The RWQCB subsequently requested in a letter dated May 1, 2008 that the wells be sampled and
that a site conceptual model be prepared.
FIELD ACTIVITIES
On May 8, 2008, P&D personnel monitored and sampled monitoring wells MW1, MW2, and
MW3. Following removal of the well caps, the water level in the wells was allowed to equilibrate
for approximately one hour. Periodic water level measurements were made during the one hour
equilibration period prior to final monitoring measurement. The wells were monitored for depth
to water and the presence of free product or sheen. The depth to water was measured to the
nearest 0.01 foot using an electric water level indicator, and the presence of free product and
sheen was also evaluated using a transparent bailer. Depth to water level measurements and
calculated groundwater surface elevations are presented in Table 1.
Prior to well sampling, wells MW1, MW2, and MW3 were purged of a minimum of three casing
volumes of water. Petroleum hydrocarbon odors and petroleum hydrocarbon sheen were not
detected from the purge water from any of the three wells. During purging operations, the field
parameters of electrical conductivity, temperature, and pH were monitored. Once the field
parameters were observed to stabilize and a minimum of three casing volumes had been purged,
water samples were collected using a clean Teflon bailer. Records of the field parameters measured
during well purging are included with this report.
The water samples were transferred to 40-milliliter glass VOA vials that were sealed with Teflon-
lined screw caps. The VOA vials were overturned and tapped to ensure that no air bubbles were
present. The VOA vials were then transferred to a cooler with ice, until they were transported to
McCampbell Analytical, Inc. in Pittsburg, California. McCampbell Analytical, Inc. is a State-
certified hazardous waste testing laboratory. Chain of custody documentation accompanied the
samples to the laboratory.

HYDROGEOLOGY
Based on review of regional geologic maps from U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 943,
"Flatland Deposits - Their Geology and Engineering Properties and Their Importance to
Comprehensive Planning," by E.J. Helley and K.R. Lajoie, 1979 the subject site is underlain by
bedrock but borders on Holocene coarse-grained alluvium (Qhac). The alluvium is described as
typically consisting of unconsolidated moderately sorted permeable sand and silt with coarse sand
and gravel; more abundant toward fan heads, and is considered to overlie bedrock on the alluvial
plain marginal to San Francisco Bay. San Francisco Bay is located approximately 3500 feet to the
east-southeast of the site.
The west side of the site is bordered by a hill, with retaining walls and near-vertical slopes on the
hillside immediately adjacent to the site. Madera del Presidio (a creek) is located approximately
250 feet to the east-northeast of the site and flows parallel to Miller Avenue. Miller Avenue slopes
towards the south-southeast, between the hill on the west and the creek on the east.
The subsurface materials encountered in continuously cored boreholes drilled in Miller Avenue
near the site to total depths of approximately 10 to 15 feet below the ground surface consisted
predominantly of silty clay, with gravel and sand fill encountered to a depth of approximately 3 feet
in several of the boreholes, and coarse-grained layers consisting of silty gravel, silty sand, and sand
with a typical maximum thickness of approximately 2.5 feet also encountered in several of the
boreholes. Groundwater was initially encountered in the boreholes during drilling at depths
typically ranging from approximately 10 to 15 feet, with groundwater typically encountered in the
boreholes at depths of approximately 3 to 8 feet below the ground surface.
On May 8, 2008 the measured depth to water in wells MW1, MW2 and MW3 was 5.01, 3.10, and
3.21 feet, respectively. Based on the measured depth to groundwater in the three wells, the apparent
groundwater flow direction at the site on May 8, 2008 was calculated to be to the south-southwest
with a gradient of 0.022. Groundwater monitoring data collected on May 8, 2008 are presented in
Table 1. The groundwater flow direction at the site on May 8, 2008 is shown on Figure 2.
Historic calculated groundwater flow directions have been predominantly easterly. However,
several historic calculated groundwater flow directions have been southwesterly, including on May
8, 2008. The calculated southwesterly groundwater flow directions are attributed to the long
equilibration times for water levels in the wells, and the wells being sampled prior to the water
levels having equilibrated in some of the wells. Review of the water level equilibration data for
May 8, 2008 suggests that the water levels in wells MW1 and MW2 had not yet equilibrated.
LABORATORY ANALYTICAL RESULTS
All of the groundwater samples from groundwater monitoring wells MW1 through MW3 were
analyzed for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Gasoline (TPH-G) using EPA Method 5030 in
conjunction with modified EPA Method 8015; and for for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and
xylenes (BTEX) and MTBE using EPA Method 8020.
February 16, 2010
Report 0154.R7
Page 5 of 6
P&D ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
All of the sample results for the groundwater samples collected from the groundwater monitoring
wells showed that TPH-G, BTEX and MTBE were not detected except for MTBE in wells MW2
and MW3 at concentrations of 9.0 and 54 ug/L, respectively. The sample results are summarized in
Table 2. Copies of the laboratory analytical reports and chain of custody documentation are
attached with this report.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the measured depth to groundwater in the groundwater monitoring wells, the calculated
groundwater flow direction at the site on May 8, 2008 was to the south-southwest. However, the
majority of historic calculated groundwater flow directions for the site are to the east, which is
consistent with regional topography. The calculated south-southwesterly groundwater flow
direction on May 8, 2008 is attributed to slow water level equilibration times for wells at the site
and the water levels in two of the wells not having equilibrated prior to sampling.
All of the well groundwater samples were analyzed for TPH-G, BTEX and MTBE. The results of
the groundwater monitoring well samples showed that only MTBE was detected in wells MW2 and
MW3 at concentrations of 9.0 and 054 ug/L, respectively. Based on the sample results, P&D
recommends that no further work be performed pending RWQCB review of a site conceptual
model.

MS = Matrix Spike; MSD = Matrix Spike Duplicate; LCS = Laboratory Control Sample; LCSD = Laboratory Control Sample Duplicate; RPD = Relative Percent Deviation.
% Recovery = 100 * (MS-Sample) / (Amount Spiked); RPD = 100 * (MS - MSD) / ((MS + MSD) / 2).
MS / MSD spike recoveries and / or %RPD may fall outside of laboratory acceptance criteria due to one or more of the following reasons: a) the sample is inhomogenous AND contains significant concentrations of analyte relative to the amount spiked, or b) the spiked sample's matrix interferes with the spike recovery.
£ TPH(btex) = sum of BTEX areas from the FID.
# cluttered chromatogram; sample peak coelutes with surrogate peak.
N/A = not enough sample to perform matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate.
NR = matrix interference and/or analyte concentration in sample exceeds spike amount for soil matrix or exceeds 2x spike amount for water matrix or sample diluted due to high matrix or analyte content, or inconsistency in sample containers.
