CVV V9 A S 5 0 C I. A T E S I N C . detected in the groundwater sample collected from soil boring SBI. The January 1998 subsurface investigation results are detailed in ATC's Summary Report for Subsurface Investigation, dated February 4, 1998. In September 1998, ATC supervised the excavation of approximately 70 tons of impacted soil. The soil was transported and disposed of at an appropriate landfill on the same day it was excavated. The excavation was limited on two sides by buildings and overhead lines. Confirmation samples collected from the excavation indicated there was residual contamination remaining. Also in September 1998, ATC supervised the advancement of four soil borings around the former excavation area. Three of the borings were completed as groundwater monitoring wells. Analytical data indicated the soil and groundwater at the site is impacted with total petroleum hydrocarbons as stoddard solvents (TPHss). The September 1998 subsurface investigation results are detailed in ATC's Summary Report of Soil Excavation and Additional Subsurface Investigation, dated December 3, 1998. SAMPLING ACTIVITIES On March 10, 2000, groundwater samples were collected by ATC Associates personnel from monitoring wells MW1 through MW3. The locations of the monitoring wells are shown on Figure 2. Prior to collection of groundwater samples, the depth to water, pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature were measured in the monitoring wells and recorded. A minimum of three well casing volumes were purged from each well prior to sampling. The wells were allowed to recover and samples were collected from each well using dedicated disposable bailers. Groundwater well purge and sample logs are contained in Attachment 1. The groundwater samples collected from each well were submitted to State-certified Argon Laboratories (ELAP Cert. No. 2358) for chemical analysis of TPHg, TPHd, and TPHss utilizing EPA Method 8015 modified, and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) utilizing EPA Method 8020. GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION Water level measurements were collected from wells MW1 through MW3 on March 10, 2000. Water levels ranged from 23.69 to 24.29 feet below the tops of the well casings elevation, representing an average increase in the water table elevation of approximately 1.68 feet since December 1999. The water level data were used to develop the groundwater elevation contour map (Figure 2). Assuming that horizontal isotropic conditions prevail, groundwater in the uppermost aquifer beneath the site flowed towards the east-northeast. The average hydraulic gradient on March 10, 2000 was calculated to be 0.002 ft/ft or approximately 11 ft/mile. A summary of groundwater monitoring data is presented in Table 1. w:%]72951quar lyl l qr-2000.doc 2
