electrical/duct tape. Each tube was then labeled and placed on blue ice pending transportation to California State Department of Health Services Certified Hazardous Waste Laboratory #E694 . Analyses were subsequently conducted for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Gasoline (TPH-G) , benzene, toluene, total xylenes, and ethylbenzene (BTX&E) using EPA Methods 5030/8015- 8020; and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Diesel (TPH-D) using EPA Methods 3550/8015. Soil boring SB-1 was advanced to a depth of 30. 5 feet bgs. . . encountering a brown silty sand between 0.0 ' and 3 . 5 ' bgs; a brown, yellow clayey sand between 3 .5 ' and 13 . 5 ' bgs; a brown sandy clay between 13 . 5 ' and 25 . 0 ' bgs; brown clayey sand 25. 0 ' - 27.01 ; and a yellow, brown sandy clay 27. 0 ' -30.5 ' bgs . Ground- water was encountered at approximately 30 . 0 ' bgs . No hydrocarbon odors were encountered within SB-1 . Soil boring SB-2 was advanced to a depth of 30. 5 ' bgs and encountered a yellow, brown silty sand between 0.0 ' and 17. 0 ' bgs; a brown clayey sand 17. 0 ' -22. 0 ' bgs; brown sandy clay 22.0 '- 27.0 ' bgs ; and a gray clayey sand between 27. 0 ' and 30 . 5 ' bgs. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 30. 0 ' bgs. No hydrocarbon odors were encountered within SB-2. Soil boring SB-3 was advanced to a depth of 20 .5 ' bgs. Soils encountered consisted of a yellow, brown silty sand between 0. 0 ' and 14 . 0 ' bgs. This soil was free of hydrocarbon odors. , A brown clayey sand (moist,- medium, and dense) was encountAred between 14 .0 ' and 18. 5 ' bgs. This soil was discolored and contained a strong hydrocarbon odor. A yellow silty sand, which was free of hydrocarbon odors, was present between 18,5 ' and 20.0 ' bgs . A brown clayey sand (very moist and densd) was encountered between 20. 0 ' and 20 . 5 ' bgs. This soil was also # discolored and contained a strong hydrocarbon odor., Boring SB-3 was terminated prior to reaching groundwater ,to avoid introducing contaminants into the water. All borings were backfilled with cement to the bottom of the existing pavement and then sealed with cold asphalt patch. A description of the soil borings is attached hereto as Appendix "A"; while copies of laboratory reports of certified analyses are attached as Appendix "B". As indicated, these analyses revealed soil contamination within boring SB-3 as referenced within Chart II: CHART II Analyte _ _ Matrix/Depth bgs Concentration TPH-G Soil/15 .0 ' 1400 ppm TPH-G Soil/20 . 0 ' 1200 ppm 6.
