∗ PBR facilities that can not obtain clean
closure during facility closure must
become corrective action UPA site (i.e.
plating shops)
∗ Enforcement option is Administrative
Enforcement Order (AEO) process
through your corresponding CUPA
Corrective Action UPA Regulations
∗ Los Angeles County, Ventura County,
San Mateo County, Sacramento County,
San Diego County, and Merced County
currently designated
∗ Orange County has applied
∗ Only 3 sites officially so far
Implementation
∗ Facilities that can not obtain clean closure during
facility closure, property or business transfer
investigations, and solvent detections at LUST sites
identify a majority of corrective action UPA sites
∗ Convincing entities to be RPs in Voluntary program
∗ Indication of potential issue will likely delay liquidation
of an asset later on, so find out now if really an issue and
start dealing with it
∗ Deal with it now, less likely other PRPs die or dissolve,
insurance policies can not be located or forgotten, and
deal with a smaller footprint of contamination

for Voting
∗ EHS directed more assessment and
approved a work plan for one boring /
hydropunch for soil and qualitative
groundwater sampling.
∗ Should naphthalene (23.7 mg/kg at 20

QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION
∗ Low Threat UST Closure Policy
∗ Resolution 92-49
∗ Relevant State Water Board Orders
∗ Closure requests are tracked on GeoTracker
∗ Denials of closure reviewed by State Water Resources
Control Board
LOP/UST Case Closure
∗ Eight General Criteria
∗ Three Media Specific Criteria
∗ Groundwater – Four prescriptive classes of sites or
regulatory agency determination
∗ Vapor – Four scenarios, site-specific risk assessment or
regulatory agency determination
∗ Direct Contact and Outdoor Air Exposure –Table 1, site-
specific risk assessment, or regulatory agency
determination
Low Threat UST Closure Policy
∗ Provides a framework for the cleanup process.
∗ Establishes the basis for determining cleanup levels of waters of
the State and soils that impact waters of the State.
∗ Resolution No. 92-49 requires cleanup to occur in a manner that
promotes attainment of either background water quality or that
level that is reasonable if background levels of water quality
cannot be restored.
∗ Resolution No. 92-49 does not require that the requisite level of
water quality be met at the time of case closure; it specifies
compliance with cleanup goals and objectives within a
reasonable time frame.
Resolution 92-49
Case Closure
Example - Nailor
∗ Urban site
∗ Active retail hand car wash – no fueling
∗ Gasoline and diesel from old fuel USTs
∗ Multiple releases locations from tank pit

Time to Play
“Would You Close That Site”
Hand Car Wash
Hand Car Wash - close-up
∗ Depth to GW now 16 - 24 feet bgs
∗ Nearest water supply well is 1150 feet away
∗ Historic free product in one well was sheen -
gone
∗ Limited excavation in tank pit area 35 cu. yds.
∗ Secondary impacts being treated by ozone
injection
∗ Water table (drought) has limited
effectiveness
Example LOP/UST Site
∗ Shallow wells MW5 -14, 16, 17 below levels of
concern for several years
∗ Shallow wells MW-1, 2, 3, 4, & 15 were only
ones with significant impacts - last 5 years
∗ Deep wells installed to evaluate for vertical
migrations – appear to be in the same aquifer
and never tested for vertical flow, only
monitored
GW Monitoring Information
Cross Section Lines
West- East Cross Section
Northwest-Southeast Cross Section
∗ GW does not meet LTCP as plume longer than
250’ and concentration of Benzene & MTBE
exceed 1,000 ug/L.
∗ Vapor Intrusion does not meet LTCP as benzene
under building is > 1,000 ug/L and less than 30
feet to GW.
∗ Direct contact to outdoor air meets LTCP.
∗ Continue active remediation and monitor offsite
wells for current GW conditions.

∗ Maximum site concentrations less than Table 1
concentrations
∗ Maximum concentrations less than levels from
site-specific risk assessment
∗ As a result of controlling exposure through use of
mitigation measures or institutional or
engineering controls, regulatory agency
determines that petroleum constituents in soil
will have no significant risk of adversely affecting
human health
Three Ways to Meet Direct Contact and
Volatilization to Outdoor Air Criteria
∗ Does it meet general criteria?
∗ Does it meet scenarios 2, 3, and 4 of
groundwater criteria?
∗ Exempt from vapor criteria
∗ Could site meet direct contact criteria with
land use controls?
Summary of LTCP Criteria for
Voting
∗ What about variations in groundwater
concentrations?
∗ What about TBA in groundwater at
concentrations up to 35,000 µg/L?
∗ TPH mass remaining (estimated 17,600 pounds)
∗ Shallow soil contamination with concentrations
that exceed LTCP Table 1 and no naphthalene
data
