M41 "glow <br /> 275 Grantline Rd. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> felt below grade. After 4 hours a slight sheen was observed on the <br /> surface of the water, although no free product was noticed. <br /> Excavation beyond this . depth was halted to avoid any possible <br /> impact of the groundwater zone. Six hours after encountering <br /> groundwater the water level in the excavation area rose to a depth <br /> of about 8.5 feet below grade. On July 12, 1990, approximately <br /> 5000 gallons of water was pumped out of the pit by H & H Ship <br /> Service Company (220.China Basin Street, San Francisco, California, <br /> US EPA ID # CAD004771168) and disposed of at their facility. in San <br /> Francisco. The water level returned to a level of 8.5 feet below <br /> grade in less than 6 hours. A water sample was taken at this time <br /> and stored under blue ice in a thermally-insulated cooler for later <br /> analysis for TPL:(as gasoline/ HTEX (EPA Method 8015 and 602) , oil <br /> and Grease (Standard Method 503 A & E) and Purgeable Halocarbons <br /> - (EPA Method 601) . <br /> SOIL SAMPLING <br /> On July 11, 12, 13, 1990, 14 soil samples were collected from the <br /> Perimeter bf the tank excavation pit, below product lines and the <br /> Pump island area. This sampling was accomplished by the composite <br /> grab sample method. In this method, a backhoe bucket is used to <br /> -; collect a sample of. the soils immediately above .the groundwater <br /> interface. A clean 6-inch long, 2--inch diameter brass tube is then <br /> Inserted into the soils and a sample is collected. Upon <br /> collection, both ends of the tube are sealed with aluminum foil and <br /> plastic caps, covered with aluminized tape, labeled, and put on ice <br /> in a thermally--insulated cooler for transport to a. State-Certified <br /> analytical laboratory for analysis. The tubes are shaken to assure <br /> that no headspace was present. The strata encountered were, from <br /> surface grade to a depth of 1 foot, a grayish-tan to medium--brown, <br /> dry, stiff, clay; from a depth of 1 foot to 2 feet a gray-brown, <br /> dry,. stiff, clay was found; a light-to medium--tannish-brown, damp, <br /> slightly plastic clay was encountered 2 feet to 6 feet below grade; <br /> a moist, grayish-tan to tannish-browli, very fine-grained randy <br /> clay, with occasional pebbles, was found at a depth of 6 feet to at <br /> least 10.5 feet below grade. Groundwater was first observed at a <br /> depth of approximately 8 feet below grade in a saturated thin, <br /> pebble,ly, fine-grained sand. .-___-Moderate - to--severe hydrocarbon <br /> - -.- -- -- staining `and a slight g_ -- - - _ <br /> g reasey odor was observed from a depth of <br /> approximately 6.5 feet to 10 below grade. A slight sheen was <br /> observed on the surface of the water. <br /> The sampling locations are. shown in- the attached Sampling Location <br /> Map, Figure 1. Samples SS-1 through SS-6 were collected at a depth <br /> Of 8 to 9 feet below grade and immediately above the groundwater <br /> interface (saturated zone) on .theperimpter of the excavation area <br /> of the tank pit. Sample Ss-9A was collected at a depth of 10 feet <br /> to. 10.5 feet in native soils near the eastern edge of the <br /> excavation. Samples SS-7, SS-8, 5S-9 and SS-10 where collected at <br /> a depth of 2.0 to 2.5 feet below grade in the areas of the product <br />
