S E C ® R 7-Eleven Store#19976 F Quarterly Groundwater Monitoring and Remediation Progress Report (1Q2005) May 4, 2005 Page 3 Groundwater monitoring wells MW-1/1A, MW-2, and MW-3 were installed in September 1998 (Figure 2) Well MW-1/1A is a dual-nested well completed to depths of 30 and 50 feet bgs Soil samples collected during well installation contained up to 0 07 mg/kg benzene and 0 08 mg/kg MtBE The highest concentrations were at 20 and 25 feet bgs (capillary fringe) in wells MW-1 and MW-2 Sod boring SB-1 and nested wells MW-4/4A and MW-5/5A were installed in May 1999, as requested by the SJCPHS, to provide additional lateral and vertical plume delineation Soil boring SB-1 was advanced to 66 feet bgs near the UST area, to evaluate the vertical extent of the plume The nested wells were installed to access the saturated zone at depths of 10- 30 feet bgs (MW-4 and MW-5), and 45-50 feet bgs (MW-4A and MW-5A) Sod sample data from boring SB-1 indicated that the base of the benzene, TPHg, and MtBE/oxygenate plume was at between 40 and 55 feet bgs, as evidenced by non-detectable concentrations of constituents Samples from well MW-5 contained low concentrations of gasoline constituents from 30-35 feet bgs, with no detectable concentrations at deeper depths (Shaw, 1999) Well MW-6 was installed in December 1999, to a depth of 30 feet bgs (Figure 2) Benzene and MtBE were not detected above laboratory reporting limits in sod samples The maximum TPHg concentration in sod was reported at 20 feet bgs (15 4 mg/kg) Delineation of hydrocarbons in soil was considered complete at this time (Shaw, 2000) • On September 18, 2000, as requested by the SJCEHD, eleven soil-gas survey points were advanced to 3 feet bgs Significantly elevated MtBE concentrations (2,200 pg/L) were detected in only one of the points (SG-9), located along the western edge of the UST pit about 20 feet south of MW-2 On November 1, 2000, monitoring well MW-7 was installed to a depth of 30 feet bgs and sod boring SB-2 was drilled to a depth of 45 feet bgs (Figure 2) Sod samples analyzed from both well MW-7 and soil boring S13-2 did not contain benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), TPHg, and MtBE above laboratory reporting limits A grab groundwater sample was collected from boring SB-2 at a depth of 40 feet bgs The water sample contained total xylenes at a concentration of 1 5 pg/L SVE testing conducted in 2001 using the two horizontal vent wells installed in the former UST tank pit (IT Corporation, September 2001) indicated extracted vapor concentrations of over 10,000 parts per million by volume (ppmv) at applied vacuums ranging between 9 and 32 inches of water Induced vacuum responses of more than 0 2 inches of water were observed in wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3 during extraction from the horizontal wells Vacuum response in these wells was likely facilitated by relatively higher-permeability conditions to the tank cavity backfill as opposed to native soils Testing was also conducted on the groundwater monitoring wells, lower permeability and limited screen above the water table likely accounted for low extraction rates/low induced vacuum responses observed during extraction from the wells Extracted vapor concentrations ranged up to 0 91 ppmv benzene, 220 ppmv MtBE, and 880 ppmv TPHg The data indicated that vapor extraction was a viable remediation method at the site, particularly when the horizontal wells were used Double-nested sparge well SP-1 was installed on October 29-30, 2001 to a depth of 50 feet bgs and screened from 30-35 and 45-50 feet On February 6, 2002, an air sparge test was 19976 05-1Q Report doc SECOR International Incorporated
