<br />      		Sod boring SB-1 and nested wells MW-414A and MW-515A were installed in May 1999, as requested
<br />      		by the SJCPHS, to provide additional lateral and vertical plume delineation   Soil boring SB-1 was
<br />      		advanced to 66 feet bgs near the UST area, to evaluate the vertical extent of the plume  The nested
<br />      		wells were installed to access the saturated zone at depths of 10-30 feet bgs (MW-4 and MW-5), and
<br />      		45-50 feet bgs (MW-4A and MW-5A)   Soil sample data from boring SB-1 indicated that the base of
<br />      		the benzene, TPHg, and MtBE/oxygenate plume was at between 40 and 55 feet bgs, as evidenced
<br />      		by  non-detectable  concentrations  of  constituents     Samples  from  well  MW-5  contained  low
<br />      		concentrations of gasoline constituents from 30-35 feet bgs, with no detectable concentrations at
<br />      		deeper depths (Shaw, 1999)
<br />      		Well MW-6 was installed in December 1999, to a depth of 30 feet bgs (Figure 2)   Benzene and
<br />      		MtBE were not detected above laboratory reporting limits in sod samples   The maximum TPHg
<br />      		concentration in sod was reported at 20 feet bgs (15 4 mg/kg)   Delineation of hydrocarbons in soil
<br />      		was considered complete at this time (Shaw, 2000) 											x
<br />      		On  September  18,  2000,  as  requested  by the  SJCEHD,  eleven soil-gas  survey points were
<br />      		advanced to 3 feet bgs   Significantly elevated MtBE concentrations (2,200 pg/L) were detected in
<br />      		only one of the points (SG-9), located along the western edge of the UST pit about 20 feet south of
<br />      		MW-2
<br />      		On November 1, 2000, monitoring well MW-7 was installed to a depth of 30 feet bgs and soil boring
<br />      		SB-2 was drilled to a depth of 45 feet bgs (Figure 2)   Sod samples analyzed from both well MW-7
<br />      		and soil boring SB-2 did not contain benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), TPHg, and
<br />      		MtBE above laboratory reporting limits  A grab groundwater sample was collected from boring SB-2
<br />      		at a depth of 40 feet bgs  The water sample contained total xylenes at a concentration of 1 5 NgIL
<br />      		Soil vapor extraction (SVE) testing conducted in 2001 using the two horizontal vent wells installed in
<br />      		the former UST tank pit (IT Corporation, September 2001) indicated extracted vapor concentrations 			;
<br />      		of over 10,000 parts per million by volume (ppmv) at applied vacuums ranging between 9 and 32
<br />      		inches of water   Induced vacuum responses of more than 0 2 inches of water were observed in
<br />      		wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3 during extraction from the horizontal wells   Vacuum response in
<br />      		these wells was likely facilitated by relatively higher-permeability conditions in the tank cavity backfill 			,
<br />      		as opposed to native soils  Testing was also conducted on the groundwater monitoring wells, lower    		�   1
<br />      		permeability and limited screen above the water table likely accounted for low extraction rates/low     		t  �
<br />      		induced  vacuum  responses  observed  during  extraction  from  the  wells      Extracted  vapor
<br />      		concentrations ranged up to 0 91 ppmv benzene, 220 ppmv MtBE, and 880 ppmv TPHg   The data      		�
<br />      		indicated that vapor extraction was a viable remediation method at the site, particularly when the
<br />      		horizontal wells were used															F'
<br />       																					x�=
<br />       		Double-nested sparge well SP-1 was installed on October 29-30, 2001 to a depth of 50 feet bgs and
<br />      		screened from 30-35 and 45-50 feet  On February 6, 2002, an air sparge test was conducted using      		r ;
<br />      		well MW-2 for vapor extraction, and double-nested sparge well SP-1 for air injection   Pre-sparging 			,
<br />      		extracted vapor levels ranged up 1,000 ppmv, with dissolved oxygen (DO) levels of up to 0 72 mg/L
<br />      		Air was then injected into the deeper section of well SP-1 using an oil-less air compressor   Vapor			"
<br />       		levels in well MW-2 increased to 1,600 ppmv, and DO levels to 8 mg/L, after 30 minutes of sparging
<br />      		The data indicated the area of sparging influence in SP-1 included the region of MW-2, and that
<br />      		treatment using well SP-1 should be successful at reducing dissolved hydrocarbonsloxygenates in
<br />      		well MW-2 and the surrounding area  Air sparge testing was repeated on May 23, 2002, using well
<br />       		MW-1A as the injection point, and the horizontal wells as the SVE point   Results indicated no
<br />       		breakthrough of sparged air into the vadose zone accessible by the horizontal wells
