<br />			concentrations have historically not been detected at or above laboratory MRLs in wells
<br />			MW-5, and MW-8 through MW-13   Evaluation of dissolved concentrations through the
<br />			second   quarter   2005   indicates   that   the   highest   concentrations   of   petroleum
<br />			hydrocarbons continue to be detected off-site in the vicinity of Shell wells S-1 and S-2
<br />			During the second quarter 2005, maximum concentrations of GRO and benzene were
<br />			detected  at  12,000  pg/L (S-2) and  330  pg/L  (S-1)    With the exception  of a  minor
<br />			concentration of benzene (0 65 pg/L) In well MW-12, petroleum hydrocarbons were not
<br />			detected in the site wells this quarter
<br />			The constituents of concern at the site consist of dissolved MtBE and the byproduct of
<br />			MtBE metabolism, TBA    MtBE has historically been detected in the majority of the site
<br />			wells,  with  the  highest  concentrations  reported  in  wells  MW-3  and  MW-7  at  site 			x
<br />			maximum concentrations of 198,000 pg/L (MW-3) and 233,000 pg/L (MW-7) in 2001
<br />			During the second quarter 2005, relatively minor concentrations of MtBE up to 22 pg/L
<br />			(Shell well S-2) were detected in on-site wells MW-1, MW-4, MW-5, MW-11, and MW-
<br />			12, and in off-site Shell wells S-2 and S-4   Well MW-11 is screened in a deeper water-
<br />			bearing zone (approximately 68 to 79 feet bgs) in comparison to the rest of the site
<br />			wells, which were completed with 10 to 15-foot screens at a depth between 28 feet and
<br />			45 feet  bgs    Elevated  concentrations of TBA were detected  in on-site wells MW-3
<br />			(24,000 pg/L), MW-7 (30,000 pg/L), deeper well MWA 1  (10,000 pg/L), and in off-site			F°
<br />			Shell well S-2 (1,400 pg/L, while relatively minor concentrations of TBA were detected in
<br />			on-site well MW-5 (5 4 pg/L) and off-site Shell well S-1 (32 pg/L)   Downgradient Shell			,
<br />			wells S-5 and S-6 (located northeast of the site) have historically contained elevated
<br />			concentrations of MtBE and TBA, split samples collected by TRC during the last two
<br />			quarters contained MtBE and TBA up to 3,100 pg/L (S-6, February 25, 2005) and 1,400
<br />			pg/L (S-5, November 24, 2004), respectively
<br /> 																						iw
<br />			MtBE has significantly declined in the site wells over time since 2001, which is likely due
<br />			to the metabolism of MtBE into TBA by natural attenuation, and as a result of active			x:
<br />			remediation through the operation of the OS system   Since the initiation of consistent
<br />			TBA sampling during the first quarter 2002, TBA peaked In wells MW-3 (240,000 pg/L),
<br />			and MW-7 (12,000 pg/L) in 2002, and although elevated concentrations continue to be			-w

<br />			detected In these wells, TBA levels have since declined in these wells over time   TBA  			14
<br />			levels in wells MW-1, MW-4 through MW-6, MW-8 through MW-10, MW-12, and MW-13
<br />			have either decreased to  relatively minor to  non-detectable concentrations,  or have
<br />			generally been non-detectable    Deeper well  MW-11, which  has contained  relatively
<br />			minor levels of MtBE, contained elevated concentrations of TBA with the highest levels  			-x
<br />			reported in 2004 (12,000 pg/L)   TBA in the well has since fluctuated in concentration, 			r
