F.A.Q

From what we can tell December 2022 is when Biggs created the partnership entity with Triple H Properties, LLC

Partner performed a Phase II Subsurface Investigation Report (Phase II) for the Site, dated July 18, 2023, on behalf of Kelemen Company, to evaluate the potential impact of petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PCBs, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), herbicides, metals, methane, and/or hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to soil and/or soil gas as a consequence of a release or releases from the onsite operations and oil production activities in the Site vicinity. None of the analyzed soil samples containedTPH, VOCs, PCBs, PAHs, and/or chlorinated herbicides above applicable screening criteria.Arsenic was detected in one of the analyzed soil samples (B13-5) at a concentration of 17 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), which exceeds the background concentration of 12 mg/kg. None of the remaining metals were detected in the analyzed soil samples exceeding commercial/industrial screening levels and typical background concentrations for California soil.

The Project site is generally located within the Peninsular Ranges physiographic province ofCalifornia. The primary geologic unit underlying the site is made up of old mix deposits.These deposits are a mix of poorly sorted moderately permeable materials. They are reddish-brown and include layers from ancient shorelines, beaches, estuarine (where rivers meet the ocean), and hillside debris. These materials are from the late to middle Pleistoceneera and consist of silt, sand, and cobbles (small stones). There are likely thin layers of artificial fill associated with past uses of the site as an industrial lumber yard. (Partner 2023,Appendix C).Soils at the Project site primarily consist of clayey sandy soils to a depth of approximately15 feet below ground surface (bgs) and silty sandy soils to a minimum depth of approximately 31.5 feet bgs. Groundwater was not encountered on the Project site; however, historic high groundwater is approximately 42 to 45 feet bgs. (Partner 2023, Appendix C).

Partner conducted an Additional Subsurface Investigation, dated October 13, 2023, at the Site to further evaluate the extent of VOC and/or arsenic impacts to soil and/or soil gas. PCE was detected in the analyzed soil gas samples at concentrations exceeding the commercial/industrial screening level. The previously detected benzene impacts in soil gas appear to be limited in nature and are not expected to represent a concern to the environment at this time.The PCE impacts appear to decrease to the east, south, and west of previous boring B3 and appear to be similar to the north of previous boring B3 in boring B22. PCE impacts also extend to at least 20 feet bgs in the vicinity of boring B3. The vertical extent and extent of PCE impacts to the north of previous boring B3and boring B22 are unknown. These detections indicate that there is a potential that the soil gas exceedances are a result of an on-site release rather than an off-site release. Based on the lack of vertical characterization of the PCE impacts, Partner recommended additional investigation to further evaluate the known PCE impacts in soil gas at the Site.
