P ug/L, and they increased from 300 ug/L to 740 ug/L during that same period The reason for these changes is not known As we have mentioned in previous reports, a major soil & groundwater plume exists to the north which appears to be centered on the Darpetro site to the northwest of the Morita property. Monitoring well data from that pro3ect, taken on January 19, 1995 was reviewed by our staff and indicated that some of the contamination measured in the groundwater beneath the Morita site is from that source Refer to the WJH quarterly groundwater monitoring report dated May 26, 1995 for more details of that data We have not been provided any information con- cerning current activities at that site, but have been informed that plans are bean formulated to begin remediation A summary of all of the laboratory analyzes of water samples taken since monitoring began in October, 1992 , is included as TABLE I It reveals that MW-1 has consistently shown the lowest levels of benzene, (ND except for the 2/94 sampling ) Benzene levels have been the highest in MW-2 since the 10/93 sampling. TPH as gasoline has shown the highest levels in MW-2 & MW-3 , but • there does not appear to be any readily identifiable pattern to explain the variations . Levels of toluene, ethylbenzene, & xylene detected in the three wells since monitoring began vary widely, again, no definite pattern is apparent The water table has risen an average of 1 691 since the October 1995 sampling, (to an average depth of 44 38 ' bgl, ) the highest level since monitoring began The reason for the anomalous change in direction of the potentio- metric surface measured during the July, 1995 , (from NE to NW, ) is not known There is no apparent correlation between measured levels of BTEX & TPH-G and gradient direction. Prior data suggested that there may have been an extraction source to the west or north within the zone of influence of these wells . However, results from the latest sampling are inconclusive . CONCLUSIONS Based upon all of the data collected since monitoring began in October, 1992 , the following conclusions appear valid 1 Groundwater flow is relatively stable in a east/northeast direction This correlates well with regional data. 2 Levels of BTEX & TPHg an the water have varied widely since monitoring began, but do not show any apparent reduction in 2
