On April 6, 1987, BC and AEMC personnel. pumped an additional approximately 220 gallons to give Becker personnel access to the vapor lines. All water was containerized in drums and transported by AEMC to H and H Ship Service in San Francisco. Becker personnel discovered a leak in the manifold in the vapor line connecting the two regular leaded tanks. Becker replaced the vapor line piping on April 11, 1987, and the regular leaded tank system passed a pressure test on April 13, 1987. In addition to replacing the regular leaded tank vapor line piping, Becker replaced all valves in the piping of the regular leaded, regular unleaded, and super unleaded tank systems. To provide access to the piping, Becker, in late April, excavated around these . E`er tank systems to approximately 3 feet. The excavated material was stockpiled on asphalt along the east side of 1.-he station. On April 26, 1987, BC personnel collected five soil samples by hand augering approximately 1 foot into the spoil pile of excavated material. Soil samples were collected at the locations shown on Figure 1. Three soil samples were selected and sent to the BC Emeryville laboratory for analysis for BTX, total fuel hydrocarbons, and total lead. The results of these analyses are summarized in Table 2. Complete results are enclosed. Table 2. Analytical Results: Sail Samples Constituent Action levela AST-1 AST-4 AST-5 Benzene 0.7 <0.01 <0.01 <0.01 Toluene 100 <0.01 0.11 <0.01..
