IWork Plan • Canepa's Car Rash May 28, 1997 Page-2- that, upon removal of the tanks and piping, it was discovered that the fuel lines had leaked and that the tanks had been overfilled Approximately 600 cubic yards of soil were removed from the fuel tank excavation area The excavated soil was subsequently characterized and disposed of at Forward Landfill in Manteca, California At least 16 soil samples were collected from the tank excavation for laboratory analyses The laboratory results indicated predominantly low TPH-G (gasoline at <15 mg/kg) and low BTEX concentrations One (1) soil sample collected from the northeast sidewall of the tank excavation contained 773 mg/kg TPH-G and BTEX concentrations up to 170,000 µg/kg ' (xylene) TPH-D (diesel) was detected in one soil sample at 32 mg/kg At least seven (7) soil samples were collected from beneath the former fuel dispenser islands for laboratory analyses Elevated concentrations of TPH-G (up to 3,800 mg/kg) and BTEX concentrations ranging from 26 µg/kg to 560,000 p.g/kg were detected in the fuel dispenser soil samples TPH-D (diesel) was not detected beneath the former fuel dispenser islands On March 12, 1993, soil boring B-1 was installed by WHF immediately east of the former fuel dispenser islands (Figure 2, Appendix A) Groundwater was encountered at approximately 56 feet below the ground surface (bgs) Moderate to strong petroleum odors were detected from 15 feet bgs to 56 5 feet bgs Elevated TPH-G and BTEX concentrations were detected in soil samples collected from 35 feet bgs to 56 5 feet bgs • Following installation of B-1, a network of nine (9) SVE wells were drilled and installed in the area of the fuel dispenser islands According to the former consultant, William H Fox of WIIF, the SVE wells were installed without compiling geological logs and without the collection of laboratory samples as agreed upon by the PHS/EHD, due to time constraints Mr Fox indicated that based on field observations, all of the SVE wells showed signs of gasoline contamination during installation An internal combustion unit (ICU) was installed at the site for vapor extraction and treatment under the Authority to Construct issued by the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (APCD), dated October 7, 1993 The ICU was started on March 11, 1994, and operated on individual SVE wells through June 10, 1995 Based on field monitoring notes provided by WHF, average influent organic vapor concentrations, measured with a photo ionization detector (PID), exceeded 2,200 parts per million (ppm) The last influent measurement collected from the system was 2,145 ppm (May 15, 1995) ' Between September 28 and 30, 1993, WHF installed four (4) monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW- 4) at the site (Figure 2, Appendix A) Low to elevated concentrations of gasoline were detected in groundwater samples collected from MW-1 through MW-4 Field observations indicated moderate to ' strong gasoline odors in the soil at MW-I from 20 feet to 55 feet bgs and at MW-2 from 40 feet to 67 feet bits Soil samples collected from MW-1 and MW-2 were not analyzed in the laboratory Analyses of soil samples collected from MW-3-and MW-4 indicated no detectable TPH-G or BTEX ' from 20 feet bgs to the capillary fringe A summary of the soil and groundwater analytical data is contained in Interim Staters Report, Phase H Investigation, by WHF Based on the initial data W-HF reported that the vertical and lateral limits of contamination weie not sufficiently defined 1A1-H1; proposed the installation of four (4) additional monitor wells (MW-5 through MW-8) to fully characterize the groundwater plume The PHS/EHD granted approval of the additional investigation on January 19, 1994 Between March 9 and 11 1994 WHF installed MW-5 1% ' �� CONDOR
