f. <br /> The excavation was backfilled in May 1994 subsequent to collection of stockpile soil <br /> samples for single-sample-composite analyses in order to detect residual TPH-g and TRPH-d <br /> analytes. Favorable results (all analytes were nondetectable) allowed for stockpile backfill, <br /> approved in a letter dated May 10, 1994 from SJCPHS EHO Specialist Michael Collins to Mr. <br /> Dwight Davis of the Pegasus Group. <br /> ` Hydropunch' Sampling - April 8, 1994 <br /> €' Under the supervision of Specialist Collins, three Hydropunch'boreholes (HP-1, HP-2, and HP- <br /> `"' 3 shown on the Site Sketch, Figure 2 and the Ground-Water Gradient Map, Figure 3) were <br /> drilled near the north, east, and west flanks of the overexcavation. Borehole soil samples were <br /> `'- <br /> togged at five-foot intervals by the W.W. Irwin, Inc. field geologist; the samples were chilled <br /> and retained for laboratory analyses, but the analyses were not required by the SJCPHS-EHD. <br /> Ground water was encountered at an average depth of 23.7 feet bsg. <br /> When analyzed, the ground-water samples collected from HP-1 and HP-2 revealed BTEX <br /> analytes in nondetectable or fractional concentrations; the sample from HP-1 exhibited 86 µg1.0 <br /> t` of TPH-gasoline. The sample collected from HP-3 exhibited a benzene concentration of 160 <br /> jcg/C, prompting the SJCPHS EHD to order the completion of three monitoring wells for ground- <br /> water direction and gradient determination, and possible definition of the contaminant migratory <br /> path. <br /> Drilling, Sampling, and Completion of Three Monitoring Wells <br /> On June 6, 1994, soil borings 4, 5, and 6 were drilled and completed as ground-water <br /> monitoring wells MW-4, MW-5, and MW-6. This sequence of well numbers was selected by <br /> the field geologist in order to avoid confusion regarding the previous Hydropunch'numbers HP- <br /> 1, HP-2, and HP-3. All monitoring wells were drilled, sampled, and completed in order to <br /> 'i determine the horizontal and vertical extent of soil and ground-water contamination and to allow <br /> ? ! for calculation of the ground-water flow direction and gradient. The monitoring well locations <br /> are depicted on the Site Sketch, Figure 2. W.W. Irwin, Inc. of Merced served as the <br /> environmental consultant while Woodward Drilling Company of Rio Vista drilled and completed <br /> the wells to a total depths of 30 feet. <br /> Collected soil samples were placed in an ice chest chilled to 4°C and dispatched to Sherwood <br /> Labs. Inc. of Hilmar using appropriate chain-of-custody procedures. Each sample collected to <br /> a depth of 20 feet was analyzed for the presence of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as gasoline <br /> (TPH-g) by modified EPA Method 801515030, Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons as <br /> 1 diesel (TRPH-d), and the volatile aromatics benzene, toluene, ethylbenzenc, and total xylenes <br /> (BTEX) by EPA Method 8020. Detectable, primarily fractional BTEX analytes were detected <br /> only in soil samples collected from MW-6. The highest TPH-g result was 39 mg/kg, revealed <br /> in the sample collected from MW-6 at 15 feet bsg. TRPH-d results were nondetectable except <br /> for 8 mg/kg of weathered diesel revealed in the sample collected from MW-5 at 5 feet. <br /> k <br /> W.W.
