, 30 September 2003 AGE-NC Project No 98-0465 Page 2 of 4 2 2 COLLECTION OF GROUND WATER SAMPLES Water samples were collected from the purged wells using new disposable plastic bailers after allowing the wells to achieve a minimum 80%recovery of the pre-purge water volume Each water sample was transferred into three 40-m1 volatile organic analysis(VOA)vials containing 0 5'M1 18% hydrochloric acid as a sample preservative and one 1-liter amber bottle with no sample preservative ' After collection, the samples were properly labeled, placed in a chilled container and transported under chain-of-custody to Cal Tech Environmental Labratones, Inc (CTEL) for analysis The samples were analyzed for ' 0 Total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline (TPH-g) and diesel (TPH-d) in accordance with EPA Method 8015-modified, ' 0 Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) in accordance with EPA Method 826013, and • 'Fuel oxygenates methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), ethyl tertiary-butyl ether(ETBE),tertiary-amyl methyl ether(TAME), and tertiary butanol(TBA) in accordance with EPA Method 8260B ' 3.0. FINDINGS Ground water elevation, flow direction and gradient were determined from field data collected on 28 August 2003 The contaminant impact to groundwater was quantified by the laboratory analytical data 3 1 GROUND WATER GRADIENT AND-FLOW DIRECTION At the time of the August 2003 sampling event, depths to ground water ranged from 11 78 feet to 12 83 feet below the tops of the well casings During this monitoring event, the ground water level in the wells was approximately 5 95 to 6 78 feet below the tops of the well screens, indicating that the wells are screened properly and yield representative shallow ground water samples I' Ground water elevations at the site ranged from 9 04 feet below mean sea level(MSL)in well MW4 to 9 24 feet below MSL in well MW1 (Table 1) Ground water elevations at the adjacent site (Sanchez Property)ranged from 8 53 feet below mean sea level (MSL) in well MW5 to 9 90 feet below MSL in well MW4 (Table 1) The relative ground water elevation at the site decreased an average of 1 92 feet between the May 2003 and August 2003 monitoring events 1 'Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc 1 �
