The report:describes a soil and grab <br /> groundwater investigation that you undertook in order to evaluate if the former airstrip is <br /> suitable to subdivide.into residential lots. <br /> From 13 borings,-three grab groundwater samples were obtained from about 15 feet below <br /> ground surface (bgs), 25 soil samples were obtained from depths.of 1 and 3 feet below ground <br /> surfaie, and one soil sample was obtained from 15 feet bgs., All soil samples were analyzed <br /> _ for organochlorine pesticides, organophosphate pesticides, chlorinated herbicides, and diuron, <br /> and all soil samples positioned adjacent to the former runway were additionally analyzed for <br /> polynuclear aromatic compounds. All groundwater samples were analyzed for all of the above <br /> analytes and additionally for volatile organic compounds and fuel constituents <br /> Of the ail samples,five samples contained one or two of tate following compounds at these <br /> maximum concentrations: 2,4-D at 0:048 mg/kg, dicamba at-0.002 mg/kg, and dinoseb at <br /> 0.039 mg/kg. As seen in Table 1, these concentrations are substantially below concentrations <br /> of concern. <br /> Table 1.
