' Report <br /> Buffalo Tank Corporation <br /> July 15, 1993 <br /> Page -S- <br /> and T1 at 18 feet were placed on hold pending the laboratory <br /> results of the remaining excavation samples . <br /> 3.0 Laboratory Analyses <br /> Five (5) soil samples collected from the excavation were <br /> selected for laboratory analyses . The samples were analyzed for <br /> benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and total xylene (BTEX) by EPA <br /> ' Method 8020, for total petroleum hydrocarbons , quantified as <br /> gasoline (TPH-G) by Method 5030/LUFT, and for total extractable <br /> petroleum hydrocarbons, quantified as diesel, motor oil, <br /> kerosene, and mineral spirits (TEPH) by Method 3550/LUFT.
