Groundwater Quality Monitoring - 152 East 11th Street, Tracy Page 4 <br /> After the depth to groundwater had been measured in all of the Navarra wells, wells <br />• NAV-2, NAV-4, NAV-5, NAV-6, NAV-7 and NAV-8, were purged by pumping a <br /> minimum of five well volumes of water from each of them The purge water from wells <br /> NAV-2, NAV-5, NAV-6, NAV-7 and NAV-8 was decanted into closed-top, 50-gallon <br /> drums Based on data from earlier rounds of sampling, this water was expected to be <br /> clean When this was confirmed by the results of laboratory analysis, this water was <br /> discharged to the municipal sewer Purge water from well NAV-4, which was known to <br /> be contaminated, was decanted into a closed, 1100-gallon, PVC tank on the 152 East <br /> Street property where it will be stored until sufficient volume has been accumulated for its <br /> economical disposal at a permitted facility <br /> After all wells that were to be sampled had been purged, the depth to groundwater in each <br /> was measured again prior to sampling to ensure that a representative sample would be <br /> obtained In all cases, the water levels in the wells fully recovered between the time of <br /> purging and the time of sampling <br /> Groundwater samples were recovered from wells NAV-2, NAV-4, NAV-5, NAV-6, <br /> NAV-7 and NAV-8 using dedicated, PVC bailers that had been installed during previous <br /> sampling rounds Water was decanted from the bailers using a valved decanting-spigot so <br /> as to completely fill clean, laboratory-supplied glassware The sample vials were then <br /> tightly closed, labeled for identification, entered into chain-of-custody control and packed <br /> on chemical ice for transport, within 6 hours, to Chromalab Inc 's laboratory in San <br /> Ramon, California for analysts <br /> Sample Analysis <br /> Following receipt at the laboratory, each groundwater water sample was analyzed for the <br /> following suite of analytes <br /> Analyte Method of Analysis <br /> Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons EPA Method 5030/8015 <br /> (as Gasoline) <br /> Benzene EPA Method 8020 <br /> Toluene EPA Method 8020 <br /> Ethylbenzene EPA Method 8020 <br /> Total Xylenes EPA Method 8020 <br /> The results of the analyses are summarized in Table 2 A Copy of the Certificate of <br /> Analysis is attached {Note For convenience of reference, the results of analyses of all <br /> groundwater samples that have been recovered during successive sampling rounds from all <br />
