2.0 Discussion <br /> Groundwater flow direction is northerly at a flow gradient that is consistent with historically <br /> observed northerly flow trends (see Figure 1) Periodic groundwater mounding present in the <br /> vicinity of MW-3R and MW-9R is attributed to the recent soil excavation and replacement of <br /> native soil/sediment with somewhat more porous fill material <br /> TPHG concentrations increased slightly and Benzene was not detected in MW-2 Well MW-9R <br /> showed that THG was present but volatiles were not detected (see Figures 2, 3 and 4) <br /> Coiitatnunants were not detected in well MW-3R Well MW-4 showed that contaminants were <br /> not detected MTBE and related oxygenates were not detected in any well Separate phase <br /> product was not observed in any well <br /> Selected combined Time vs Contaminant Graphs, (combined data of MW-3 and MW-3R, and <br /> combined data of MW-9 and MW-9R) were prepared to show overall historic dissolved trends <br /> that are attached to this report Wright has added the data from MW-3R and 9R to the same <br /> graphs since these wells were installed only about 5 feet from the previous locations It is <br /> Wright's opinion that the combining the historic data to the new wells in these graphs will enable <br /> ease in continued contaminant trend tracking in the areas of historically most elevated TPHG and <br /> Benzene plumes. <br /> . Soil excavation activities removed residual contaminant to the vadose zone and upper aquifer in <br /> the area around MW-3R and 9R Concentrations appear to continue a stable and/or declining <br /> trend with contaminants not detected in MW-3R The interpreted location of the dissolved <br /> plume based on the historic groundwater flow and interpreted contour information continues to <br /> generally show very little to no net plume movement beyond the vicinity of wells MW-3R, MW- <br /> -9R and MW-2 this quarter <br /> 3.0 Conclusions and Recommendations <br /> Groundwater flow direction was northerly under a low calculated gradient and water levels in <br /> monitoring wells had changed slightly since the previous quarter. In our opinion, the mapped <br /> contaminant dissolved plume continues to occur near the center of the site, similar to historic site <br /> observations. <br /> The TPHG and Benzene levels show a much lower dissolved concentrations in monitoring well <br /> MW-9R that is attributed to removal of residual contaminant Contaminants were not detected <br /> in well MW-3R this quarter Fluctuations of TPHG and Benzene may occur from desorption <br /> since some residual sources under the large utility pipelines could not be removed during the soil <br /> excavation given the seasonal rise and fall of groundwater levels The site is scheduled for <br /> continued quarterly monitoring at this time <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
