detected in any of the samples Lead was detected at 6 to 12 4 milbgrams.per kilogram(mg/kg) in the ' initial samples from the north ends of both tanks, but was not detected in the follow up samples at 16 feet bsg On August 7, 1998 soil borings B3-1,B3-2 and B3-3 were installed and soil samples were collected at 5 foot intervals beginning at 10 5 feet up to 40 5 feet bsg No PHCs were detected in the uppermost soil samples collected from 10 to 11 feet bsg, or it the two lowermost samples collected at 35 and 40 feet bsg, in any of the three borings PHCs in soils were first detected at 16 feet bsg in boring B3-2, and at 20 feet bsg in 133-1 and B3-3 The highest levels of PHCs in soils were detected in the sample collected from 15 5 to 16 0 feet bsg in boring B3-2 Thins sample contained 2,100 mg/kg TPHg and ' 8 4 mg/kg benzene Uppermost groundwater samples were collected at 12 and 13 feet bsg in borings B3-3 and B3-2, ' respectively The sample from B3-2 contained trace amounts of PHCs (0 00042 benzene mg/l), while no PHCs were detected in the sample from B3-3 Groundwater sampled from boring B3-1 at 22 feet bsg, within the zone of strong petroleum odor, contained the highest concentrations of PHCs in ' groundwater samples, with 1,600 mg/l TPHg The depth-discrete water sample collected from 31 to 35 feet bsg in boring B3-2 contained 2 7 mg/l TPHg and 0 06 mg/l benzene, indicating that dissolved phase PHCs are present in the coarser grained sediments below the zone of PHC-impacted soils ' From May 18, 1999 through June 2, 1999,three groundwater monitoring wells were installed within a few feet of corresponding previous soil borings All wells were drilled with 8-inch hollow-stern auger to depths of 36 to 40 feet to allow mstallation of 35 feet of well casing Wells are constructed of about 10 feet of blank, 2-mch diameter, schedule 40 PVC casing above 25 feet of 2-ranch diameter, 0 02-ranch factory-slotted PVC screen Waterproof traffic-rated vaults were installed several inches above ground ' and the surface was finished with concrete graded away from the vaults to reduce surface infiltration The elevation of the three monitoring wells was then surveyed by a CA Registered Civil Engineer In addition, each of the wells were developed between May 21, 1999 and June 7, 1999 by a combination ofbaihng, surging,and pumping until all appreciable fines were removed from the well casing ' GROUNDWATER MONITORING ACi`IV IUS Monitoring Welt Sounding ' On September 14, 2000, Mike Luksic of the Port's Environmental and Regulatory �Affairs Department accompanied Precision Enviro-Tech's(PET) field personnel, Thang Huynh who sounded and sampled ' the Port's former UST Site No 3 monitoring wells MW3-1 through MW3-3 Prior to sample collection, each well sounded was purged until the groundwater parameters of ' temperature, electrical conductivity, and pH had stabilized and a minimum of three well-volumes of water had been evacuated The wells were allowed to recharge to at least 90% of their respective ' static water levels prior to sample collection The samples were recovered using clean, disposable bailers, and were then transferred into 40-m1 VOA ' vials All samples were labeled, placed in an ice chest, chilled on Blue Ice to 4° C, and transported to ud SW q0 4m 3
