Fourth Quarter 1998 Status Report - Former Discovery Chevrolet <br /> December 8, 1998 <br /> the gasoline USTs to the dispenser,located inside the service bays,was left in place beneath the <br /> concrete 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 million <br /> (ppm). Benzene was detected in all these soil samples at concentrations ranging from 5.9 to 39 <br /> ppm. Total lead was detected in two of these soil samples at concentrations of 19 and 4.0 ppm. <br /> TPHg and benzene were detected in the soil sample collected beneath the product dispenser at <br /> concentrations of 21 and 0.88 ppm,respectively.TPHg,Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Diesel <br /> (TPHd), and benzene were detected in the soil sample from the waste oil excavation at <br /> concentrations of 31,270 and 0.18 ppm,respectively. Tetrachlororoethene(72 parts per billion, <br /> or ppb), lead (7.8 ppm), and chromium (9.2 ppm) were also detected in this sample. <br /> Based on results of soil sample analyses from the UST removal, GSI performed a preliminary <br /> site assessment to further evaluate hydrocarbons in the soil and to evaluate whether hydrocarbons <br /> had impacted groundwater beneath the site. Three on-site groundwater monitoring wells were <br /> installed at the locations shown on the Site Plan(Figure 2) in September 1994. One soil sample <br /> from approximately 10 bgs in each soil boring was submitted for analysis. TPHg were detected <br /> in the soil sample from boring MW-1 (340 ppm) and MW-2 (240 ppm). The benzene <br /> concentrations in these samples were 3.9 and 2.4 ppm, respectively. Petroleum hydrocarbons <br /> were not detected in the soil sample from boring MW-3. Groundwater in the newly installed <br /> wells was measured between 9.97 and 10.49 feet bgs, and appeared to flow north-northeast at <br /> a gradient of 0.003. Floating product was not observed in the monitoring wells. TPHg was <br /> detected in the groundwater sample collected from well MW-1 (640 parts per billion,or ppb)and <br /> MW-2 (7,200 ppb). The benzene concentrations in these samples were 35 and 370 ppb, <br /> respectively. Petroleum hydrocarbons were not detected in the groundwater sample collected <br /> from well MW-3. Results of that investigation were reported in GSI Report No. 8146.701-1, <br /> Preliminary Environmental Investigation Report, dated December 7, 1994. Depth-to- <br /> groundwater and chemical analytical data are summarized in Table 1. <br /> Quarterly monitoring and sampling of the monitoring wells begin in March 1995. Historically, <br /> depth to groundwater has fluctuated between 9.25 and 11.53 feet bgs. Groundwater appears to <br /> flow toward the north-northwest at a gradient of approximately 0.003 to 0.005. Floating product <br /> has not been observed in the monitoring wells. TPHg, BTEX, or Oil and Grease have not been <br /> detected in well MW-3. TPHg or benzene have never been detected in well MW-5. TPHg <br /> concentrations in wells MW-1 and MW-2 have ranged from <50 to 17,000 ppb, and benzene <br /> concentrations have ranged from 1.1 to 3,100 ppb. TPHg(415 ppb)and benzene(1.1 ppb)were <br /> detected only once in well MW-4 (April, 1997), and have never been detected in well MW-5- <br /> Historical quarterly groundwater monitoring and chemical analytical data are summarized in <br /> Table 1. <br /> 948146.05-8 2 <br />
