Fourth Quarter 1998 Status Report - Former Discovery Chevrolet <br /> December 8, 1998 <br /> In August 7, 1998,Horizon Environmental Inc.over-excavated the former UST pit. Well MW-1 <br /> was destroyed to accommodate these activities. Analytical data from these activities have not <br /> been made available to GR. <br /> PRESENT QUARTER FIELD ACTIVITIES <br /> Quarterly monitoring and sampling of the groundwater monitoring wells for the fourth quarter <br /> 1998 was performed on December 7, 1998. Field monitoring and chemical analytical data from <br /> the current quarter are summarized in Table 1. Groundwater sampling procedures are <br /> summarized in Appendix A. Copies of the field data sheets are presented in Appendix B. <br /> Copies of the laboratory analytical report and completed chain-of-custody form are presented in <br /> Appendix C. <br /> Groundwater Monitoring and Gradient Evaluation <br /> Depth-to-water(DTW)measurements were obtained from groundwater monitoring wells MW-2 <br /> through MW-5 prior to well purging and sample collection. Static groundwater levels were <br /> measured from the north edge of the top of each well casing and recorded to the nearest±0.01 <br /> foot. Groundwater was measured between 10.18 and 10.99 feet below the top of the well <br /> casings. These data were used to construct a Potentiometric Map (Figure 3). Based on these <br /> data, the shallow groundwater beneath the subject site appears to flow toward the north at a <br /> gradient of approximately 0.004 ft/ft. Each well was inspected for the presence of floating <br /> product. Floating product or a product sheen was not observed in any of the groundwater <br /> monitoring wells this quarter. <br /> Laboratoly Analytical Data <br /> The groundwater samples were collected in sample containers supplied by the laboratory. <br /> Samples from wells MW-2 through MW-5 were analyzed for TPHg, for benzene, toluene, <br /> ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX), and for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) by <br /> Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)Methods 8015 Mod./8020. The samples were analyzed <br /> by Sequoia Analytical (ELAP #1271) located in Walnut Creek, California. <br /> TPHg, BTEX, or MTBE were not detected in the groundwater samples collected from wells <br /> MW-3 or MW-5. The sample from well MW-2 contained benzene(8.2 ppb), ethylbenzene(1.3 <br /> ppb),xylenes(4.8 ppb)and MTBE(4.4 ppb). The sample from well MW-4 contained TPHg(59 <br /> ppb),benzene(0.89 ppb), ethylbenzene(1.2 ppb), and xylenes(6.2 ppb). These data have been <br /> used to construct a TPHg/Benzene/MTBE Concentration Map (Figure 4). <br /> 948146.05-8 3 <br /> r <br />
