Site History <br /> 14000 Highway 88, Lockeford CA <br /> Time Oil Property No 04-049 <br /> Additional Site Investigation and Third Quarter 1996 Groundwater Samplina Results - October 1996 <br /> On July 15 through 18 and July 31, 1996, six groundwater monitoring wells were installed onsite and <br /> offsite to assist in defining the extent of hydrocarbon impacts As in previous site activities, soils <br /> encountered during drilling consisted of fine silty sands to approximately 15 feet below ground surface <br /> (bgs), this strata was underlain by fine to coarse sands to approximately 30 feet bgs Clayey silt and silty <br /> clay were generally encountered at 30 feet to 35 feet while fine to coarse sands and gravelly sands were <br /> encountered to 70 feet bgs Silty clay with sandy and gravelly stringers was encountered from 70 feet <br /> bgs to the extent of each boring Groundwater was first encountered at depths of approximately 75 feet <br /> to 80 feet bgs <br /> Each of the wells was installed as follows <br /> Casing Total Screened <br /> Well No Diameter(in ) Depth (ft ) Interval (ft Purpose <br /> MW-5 2 100 35 HC delineation to the NW of former tanks(sidegradient) <br /> MW-6 2 100 35 HC delineation to the NE of former tanks(upgradient) <br /> MW-7 2 100 35 HC delineation to the NE of former tanks(up/sidegradient) <br /> MW-8 2 100 35 HC delineation to the E of former tanks(sidegradient) <br /> MW-9 2 100 35 HC delineation to the SE of former tanks(sidegradient) <br /> MW-1 0 2 975 35 HC delineation to the SW of former tanks(downgradient) <br /> The casing diameter, well depth, and screened interval of each well was selected by a representative of <br />• SECOR based on the proposed well use and the estimated depth to groundwater at each drilling location <br /> Each of the wells was constructed with 0 020-inch slotted casing <br /> Soil samples collected during the drilling of each of the wells were submitted to an analytical laboratory <br /> Where possible, capillary fringe samples were submitted, although shallower soil samples were also <br /> analyzed Although the sample collected from MW-8 at a depth of 75 feet logs contained trace <br /> concentrations of hydrocarbons (0 064 ppb benzene, 0 005 ppb toluene, and 0 007 ppb xylenes), none of <br /> the other soil samples contained detectable concentrations of hydrocarbons <br /> On July 19, 1996, samples were collected from MW-1 through MW-9 by a representative of SECOR <br /> MW-10 was sampled on August 1, 1996 Pnor to purging, the depth to water in each well was measured <br /> to evaluate elevation, flow direction, gradient, and free product thickness Groundwater with a <br /> southwesterly flow direction and a gradient of 0 03 ft/ft were encountered in the wells at depths of 67 7 <br /> feet to 84 07 feet below ground surface Free product was not encountered in any of the wells <br /> Since the previous sampling event, groundwater elevation decreased in MW-3 by 0 07 feet and <br /> increased in wells MW-1, ASW-2, and MW-4 by 0 15 feet to 0 33 feet, resulting in an overall average <br /> increase in groundwater elevation of 018 feet across the site Groundwater flow direction changed from <br /> southeast to southwest and gradient decreased from 0 15 ft/ft 0 03 ft/ft The variations in groundwater <br /> elevation, flow direction, and gradient could have been a result of additional data points provided by the <br /> new wells, or they could have been due to seasonal variation <br /> Analyses Identified elevated concentrations of hydrocarbons in the samples collected from MW-1 <br /> (13,600 ppb gasoline, 1,130 ppb benzene, 4,100 ppb toluene, 482 ppb ethylbenzene, and 2,710 ppb <br /> xylenes), MW-3 (2,700 ppb gasoline, 288 ppb benzene, 242 ppb toluene, 133 ppb ethylbenzene, and 280 <br /> ppb xylenes), and MW-6 (1,370 ppb gasoline, 142 ppb benzene, 292 ppb toluene, 81 ppb ethylbenzene, <br /> and 495 ppb xylenes) Trace concentrations of hydrocarbons were found in the samples collected from <br />. MW-4 (83 5 ppb gasoline, and 1 4 ppb benzene), MW-5 (64 ppb gasoline, 15 3 ppb benzene, 0 7 ppb <br /> toluene, 2 5 ppb ethylbenzene, and 1 4 ppb xylenes), MW-8 (5 8 ppb benzene and 1 0 ppb xylenes), and <br /> 9 <br />
