al <br /> y Fourth'Quarter 1996 Status Report 7 Former Discovery Chevrolet <br /> January 3, 1997 <br /> Previous Environmental Work <br /> i <br /> Based on information supplied by Ms. Nokes, we understand that the three USTs were <br /> removed in April 1993. Four soil samples were collected from the base of the gasoline UST <br /> excavation at depths of approximately 9 to 10. feet below ground surface '(bgs), one soil <br /> sample was collected from beneath the product dispenser at approximately 5.5 feet bgs, and <br /> one soil sample was collected from the base of the waste oil UST excavation at <br /> approximately 7.5 feet bgs. Groundwater .was not encountered during UST removal. <br /> Information supplied by SJCEHD'indicates,that the product piping that ran from the gasoline <br /> USTs to the dispenser;.located inside the service bays,`was,left in-place beneath the concrete <br /> apron outside the shop building. <br /> ' Petroleum.hydrocarbons were detected in all.soil samples collected during the UST removal. <br /> Soil samples collected. from the gasoline .UST excavation contained Total Petroleum <br /> Hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg) at concentrations. ranging from 920 to 4,400 part per <br /> million(ppm). Benzene was detected in all these soil samples at concentrations ranging from ; <br /> 5.9 to 39 ppm. Total lead was detected-In two of these soil samples at concentrations of 19 <br /> and 4.0 ppm. TPHg and benzene were detected `in the soil sample collected beneath the <br /> product dispenser at concentrations 6f-,21. ,and 0.88 ppm, respectively. TPHg, Total <br /> _i Petroleum.Hydrocarbons as Diesel (TPHd),,and benzene were detected in the soil sample <br /> from the:waste oil excavation at'concentrations.of 31, 270 Wand 0.1.8 ppm, respectively. <br /> Tetrachlororoethene (72 parts per billion;'.or ppb),lead (7.8 ppm), and chromium (9.2 ppm} <br /> ` were also detected in this.sample ' <br /> Based on results of soil sample analyses from the UST removal, GSI performed a <br /> preliminary site assessment to further evaluate hydrocarbons in the soil and to evaluate <br /> whether hydrocarbons had impacted groundwater beneath the site. Three on-site <br /> groundwater monitoring wells were installed at.the locations shown on the Site Plan (Figure. <br /> 2) in September 1994. One soil sample from approximately •10 bgs in each soil boring was <br /> submitted for analysis. . TPHg..were detected in the soil sample from boring MW-1 (340 <br /> ppm) and MW-2 (240 ppm). The benzene,con centrations in these samples,were 3.9 and 2.4 <br /> ppm, respectively. Petroleum hydrocarbons were not detected in the soil sample from boring <br /> MW-3. Groundwater in the newly installed'.wells was measured between 9.97 and 10.49 feet <br /> bgs, and appeared to. flaw north-northeast at a gradient of 0.003. Floating product was. not <br /> observed in the monitoring wells. TPHg was detected in the groundwater sample collected <br /> from well MW-1 (640 parts per billion, or ppb)-and MW-2 (7,200 ppb). The benzene <br /> concentrations in thesesamples were 35 and 370 ppb; respectively. Petroleum hydrocarbons <br /> were not detected in `the groundwater' sample collected from well MW-3. Results of that <br /> investigation- were reported in GS1 Report:No. 8146,701-1, Preliminary. Environmental <br /> Investigation Report, dated December 7;, 1994." , Depth-to-groundwater and chemical <br /> analytical data are,summarized in Table ' <br /> 8146.03 2 <br /> i <br /> I <br />
