' Libbey Owens Ford Co. Site Investigation August 23, 1996 Page-3- sample was retrieved and gently poured into a ]-liter, amber, glass sample container. The container twas properly sealed and labeled (I.D. 41286-7125196-PIT), and placed into an ice chest chilled with ice for delivery to GeoAnalytical Laboratories, of Modesto, California. ' 2.3 LaboratotT Analysis sis ' The soil samples collected front the excavation were analyzed for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and total xylenes (BTEX) by EPA Method 8020, and for total extractable petroleum t hydrocarbons quantified as diesel, kerosene, and motor oil (TEPH) by Method 35501LUFT. Elevated concentrations of TEPH-diesel and BTEX were detected in each soil sample. The diesel product sample was analyzed for water content by Method D-174413 Karl Ficher. The results of the product ' analyses indicate a water content of 128 ppm. The analytical results are presented in Table 1 below. The certificates of analyses and chain of custody are located in Appendix B of this report.
