Additional Property Attributes

San Juan Grocery opened in the mid-1940s. The gas station was reportedly branded as a Union 76 from at least 1976 until 1980 after which time it operated as a Mobil station. The grocery store closed in 1990, and the 1900 square foot, single story commercial building was demolished in 2018. Records indicate the business did not provide auto repair services. No diesel or oil was ever reportedly dispensed to the site.

Site history information available in an Ecology Further Action Letter dated August 14, 2013 indicates the property operated as a store and gasoline service station from the 1960s until the early 1990s. Three USTs and the pump island were removed in 1990. Road improvements in 1995 along the eastern property line uncovered gasoline and its associated additives, benzene and xylene above cleanup levels within the right-of-way. A limited investigation of the former tank pit, piping, and former dispenser area led to removal of the remaining UST tank system vent lines and piping. The base of the former UST pit showed signs of petroleum contamination in the underlying clay layer. The pit was lined with plastic and backfilled with clean soil; however, the disposition of the remaining contaminated soil is not clear and so was assumed to have been returned to the excavation along with the stockpiled soil. Although there was no indication of diesel dispensed at the site, the test pit did contain diesel above cleanup levels. Volatiles were not analyzed at that time.

In 2004 a site investigation was performed between 13 and 17 feet below ground surface and two borings were submitted for analysis of TPH. The results showed TPH below cleanup levels. However, a limited phase II site assessment was conducted at the site in 2006 which found soil contamination between 12 and 21 feet below ground surface. The assessment identified gasoline range total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) in the subsurface soils above associated cleanup levels. Gasoline-range TPH, diesel-range TPH, BTEX, lead, and 1-2 dibromoethane (EDB) were all found in groundwater above associated cleanup levels.
