'=fs HISTORY OF SITE WORK <br /> Initial UST Removal, Overexcavation, and Sampling Activities <br /> On April 21, 1993, two, 10,000-gallon capacity, leaded gasoline underground storage <br /> tanks and one, 5,000-gallon capacity, diesel underground storage tank (USTs) were <br /> removed from the subject site. Evax Technologies, Inc. inspected the tanks and <br /> .� collected soil samples from beneath the ends of each leaded gasoline UST, and one <br /> sample from beneath the fill end of the diesel UST immediately subsequent to <br /> removal. All samples were retrieved from the floor of the excavation at 13.5 feet below <br /> surface grade (bsg). Additionally, two soil samples were collected from the soil <br /> stockpile flanking the excavation. The stockpile was moved to the south end of the <br /> property. <br /> Analytical results of the soil samples revealed that elevated levels of Total Petroleum <br /> Hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPH-g); Total Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons as <br /> diesel (TEPH-d); volatile aromatics benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX); <br /> and lead were present in the samples collected from the excavation and from the <br /> "-' stockpile. <br /> The overexcavation of the former tank pit was undertaken on July 16, 9993 by W.W. <br /> Irwin, Inc.. The work was periodically supervised by Mr. Michael Collins, SJCPHS- <br /> EHD Registered Environmental Health Specialist. As the excavation proceeded, soil <br /> samples were collected for lithologic analysis and organic vapor analysis (OVA) meter <br /> readings were taken in order to direct the excavation.. The excavation was expanded <br /> slightly in all directions from the original tank pit to an area approximately 35 square <br /> feet and to a depth of approximately 18 to 20 feet below surface grade (bsg). The <br /> excavation was halted when the excavator reached the limits of its extension and the <br /> northern wall became inaccessible. Groundwater was not encountered. <br /> An estimated 260 cubic yards of excavated soil was removed from the tank pit and <br /> stored at a location on the south side of the property, and separately from soil <br /> stockpiled during the tank removal operation. The excavation was backfilled in May of <br /> 1994 subsequent to collection of stockpile soil samples for single-sample-composite <br /> analyses. Backfilling was approved in a letter dated May 10, 1994 from Specialist <br /> Collins to Mr. Dwight Davis of the Pegasus Group. <br /> F:7.1 HydropunchTM Sampling <br /> On April 8, 1994, three HydropunchTm boreholes (HP-1, HP-2, and HP-3 depicted on <br /> Figures 2 and 3) were drilled near the north, east, and west flanks of the <br /> J <br /> i DAYNE L.
