Page 2 Heating Oil Tank Sampling Soil sample D-1-9' was collected between 2 and 3 feet beneath the fill end of the tank at approximately 9 feet below grade (Figure 2). Stockpile Sampling Soil stockpiles generated from the removal were sampled prior to backfilling Four soil samples were collected from each stockpile(Figure 2). The four samples were composited in the laboratory and analyzed as one sample. These samples were collected by removing the top 6 to 12 inches of soil, then pushing a sample tube into the soil until completely full. The samples were sealed, labeled and handled as mentioned previously in this report. Following the collection of samples, a layer of visqueen was placed into each excavation and the soil stockpiles were used as backfill material in the respective excavations. Compos- ite soil sample designations are SP-1 A-D for the soils generated from the heating oil tank removal and SP-2 A-D from stockpiles resulting from the waste oil removal (Figure 2). ANALYTICAL RESULTS Summaries of the soil analytical results are presented in Table 1. The heating oil tank excavation and stockpile samples were analyzed for Petroleum Hydrocar- bons calculated as Diesel (TPH-Diesel) according to EPA Method 8015 (Modified) and Benzene,Toluene,Ethylbenzene,and Xylene (BTEX) according to EPA Method 8020. The samples collected in the former waste oil tank excavation and stockpile included Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons calculated as Gasoline and Diesel according to EPA Method 8015 (Modified) and Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX) according to EPA Method 8020, Halogenated Volatile Organics according to EPA SW-846 Methods 5030/ 8010, Senn-Volatile Organic Priority Pollutants according to EPA Method 8270, Total Oil and Grease according to EPA Method 55 20 F, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) according to EPA Method 8080.
