(:v . A S S O C I A T E S I N C On February 18, 1999, a geologist from ATC Associates supervised the installation of three groundwater-monitoring wells from 39 to 41 feet bgs Soil borings MW1, MW2, and MW3 were completed as two-inch monitoring wells One soil sample from each boring was collected and after the groundwater monitoring wells were developed one groundwater sample was collected from each well Soil and groundwater samples contained detectable concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons Results are summarized in ATC's Summary Report of Additional Subsurface Investigation, dated June 1, 1999 On September 12, 2001, and October 4 and 5, 2001, a geologist from ATC Associates supervised the advancement of six soil borings, SB7 through SB12, to approximately 20 to 25 feet bgs and one CPT boring to approximately 45 feet bgs Analytical results of soil samples indicated no detectable presence of petroleum hydrocarbons or fuel oxygenates One groundwater sample was collected from each boring at the depth groundwater was first encountered Groundwater samples indicated no detectable presence of petroleum hydrocarbons or fuel oxygenates Results are summarized in ATC's Summary Report of Supplemental Subsurface Investigation, dated January 4, 2002 SAMPLING ACTIVITIES On June 7, 2002, ATC personnel collected groundwater samples from monitoring wells MW1, M MW2, and MW3 The locations of the monitoring wells are shown on Figure 2 Prior to collection of groundwater samples, the depth to water, pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature were measured in the monitoring wells and recorded A minimum volume of three well casings was purged from each well prior to sampling The wells were allowed to recover and samples were collected from each well using disposable bailers The groundwater matrix samples collected from each well were submitted to State-certified Argon Laboratories (ELAP Cert No 2359) for chemical analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) utilizing EPA method 8015 modified, and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX) and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) utilizing EPA method 8020 Groundwater well purge and sample logs are contained in Attachment 1 ANALYTICAL RESULTS The groundwater analytical results measured at monitoring well MW 1 showed detectable concentrations of TPHg and BTEX The measured concentration of TPHg at MW1 was 10,000 µg/L Benzene was detected at 30 µg/L, toluene was detected at 5 2 pg/L, ethylbenzene was detected at 120 µg/L, and xylenes were detected at 48 pg/L The groundwater analytical results measured at monitoring well MW2 showed detectable concentrations of TPHg and benzene TPHg was detected at a concentration of 260 µg/L and benzene was detected at 2 4 µg/L w Iwordpro114981acportsl2QR-02 doc 2
