Mr. Geoffrey Rader <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> Groundwater samples collected during the first quarter of 2019 were analyzed for total petroleum <br /> hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) using EPA Method 8015M; for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene <br /> and total xylenes (BTEX) using EPA Method 8260B; and for gasoline oxygenates and additives <br /> (tert-butyl alcohol [TBA], methyl tert-butyl ether [MTBE], di-isopropyl ether [DIPE], ethyl tert- <br /> butyl ether [ETBE] and tert-amyl methyl ether [TAME]) using EPA Method 8260B. Select <br /> groundwater samples were also analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel(TPHd)using <br /> EPA Method 8015M. Per the revised MRP the analysis of 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and <br /> ethylene dibromide(EDB)is no longer required. No samples were collected from the SVE system. <br /> Water Level Monitoring <br /> On December 19, 2018, and March 20, 2019, a Ground Zero technician measured the static depth <br /> to water in all site monitoring wells. On December 19, 2018, the depth to groundwater ranged <br /> from 52.69 feet below top of casing (btc) in well MW12 to 56.04 feet btc in well MW8. <br /> Groundwater levels in the shallow zone wells rose by an average of 0.12 feet between September <br /> 10,2018,and December 19,2018. The water level in the deeper zone,as measured in well MW 1 D, <br /> rose by 0.64 feet during the same period. A slight upward vertical gradient was present between <br /> the shallow wells and the deep zone well MW1D during the December 2018 monitoring event. <br /> On December 19, 2018, shallow groundwater was interpreted to flow generally in a southerly <br /> direction, with a mound of high groundwater elevation around well MW7, at a gradient ranging <br /> from approximately 0.02 feet per foot (ft/ft) in the central portion of the site to 0.005 ft/ft in the <br /> area to the south of the site. This is generally consistent with historical measurements. <br /> On March 20, 2019, the depth to groundwater ranged from 51.47 feet btc in well MW 12 to 55.15 <br /> feet btc in well MW8. Groundwater levels in the shallow zone wells rose by an average of 1.16 <br /> feet between December 19, 2018, and March 20, 2019. The water level in the deeper zone, as <br /> measured in well MW1D, rose by 1.25 feet during the same period. A slight upward vertical <br /> gradient was present between the shallow wells and the deep zone well MW 1 D during the March <br /> 2019 monitoring event. <br /> On March 20, 2019, shallow groundwater was interpreted to flow generally in a southerly to <br /> southeasterly direction, with a slight mound of high groundwater elevation around well MW7, at <br /> a gradient ranging from approximately 0.02 ft/ft in the central portion of the site to 0.003 ft/ft in <br /> the area to the south of the site. This is generally consistent with historical measurements. <br /> Potentiometric surface maps for December 19,2018,and March 20,2019,are presented on Figures <br /> 3 and 4,respectively. Table 1 contains well construction details based on the limited data available <br /> in our files. Groundwater elevation data from the March 2019 monitoring event are presented on <br /> Table 2. Historic groundwater elevation data, groundwater flow direction and gradients are <br /> summarized in Table 3. Field data sheets for the December 2018 and March 2019 monitoring <br /> event are included in Attachment A. <br />
