dark gray lime cemented sands & gravels. Contamination was evident during spoil removal on the south and east walls of the excavation, and some petroleum odor could be4detected. Some of the harder material had a petroleum .odor when broken, but no free i product was noted. Because of the highly unconsolidated nature of the sands, sloughing & caving of the sides of-` the excavation was common. Spoil removal continued until all evidence of contamination was removed; the final size of -the; pit was appr'ox- imately 44 feet N-S, and 32 feet E-W; with a maximum depth of- 14 feet: Under the direction of Linda,''Turkette, REHS, and: Wm. Hunter, ,the excavator operator removed undisturbed soil with� the excavator_ Mike Allsup of Geo-Analytical laboratories took samples' from the teeth of the bucket by pushing a clean metal tube into the soil, f quickly sealing the ends with teflon tape, plastic caps and duct f tape., and placing them in an';Ace chest for preservation. The locations of those samples, & summary of laboratory results, are shown on PLATE VII. The removed spoil, which had°'been stored on plastic to the west of the site, was also sampled by the technician at the approxi- mate locations shown on PLATE VIII by digging down int6 the pile � with a small shovel., and pushing a acetal tube into the soil. The i samples were sealed and preserved .in the same manner as,� those from the excavation k I The preserved samples were transported under chain-of-custody to Geo-Analytical laboratory for analysis. Tests required by the County EHD for samples from the excavation were: '; BTEX, (EPA 5030/8020, ) & TPS-D, (EPA 5030/3550 . ) The results of those analyzes are summarized on TABLE II, which show that BTEX was F below detection limits in all samples, and TPH-D; was only measured in sample# Btm. So. at 10. 5 mg/kg. Calculating levels for leaving in place using the Leaching Potential Analysis .for Diesel worksheet from the LUFT Manual shows that• the allowable level 'is 100 mg/kg, far above that measured at this site. Copies . of the laboratory reports & chain-of-custody 'are'° included as EXHIBIT E. r The four samples taken from the removed spoil were composited into two for analysis & profiling purposes to determine, the best method of treating or disposing of the spoil. The two samples were analyzed by EPA Methods 8010, 8020, TEPH .(3550 LUFT) & TTLC , for 10 metals. Those results are summarized -on TABLE 111; copies. of the laboratory reports and chain-of-custody are included as EXHIBIT F. After a review of the lab results of the samples. from the removed' spoil pile, Forward.,. Inc. , agreed to. take the material for treat- 4
