significantly attenuated relative to the initial concentrations in the initial samples No EDB was detected in any of the samples Lead was detected at 6 to 12 4 milligrams 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 beguunng 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 in the two lowermost samples collected at 35 and 40 feet bsg, in any of the three bonngs 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 sods were detected in the sample ' collected from 15 5 to 16 0 feet bsg in boring B3-2 This 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 133-2 contained trace amounts of PHCs (0 00042 benzene mg/1), while no PHCs were detected in the sample from 133-3 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/1 TPHg The depth-chscrete water sample collected from 31 to 35 feet bsg in boring B3-2 contained 2 7 mg/1 TPHg and 0 06 mg/1 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-stem auger to depths of 36 to 40 feet to allow installation of 35 feet of well casing Wells are constructed of about 10 feet of blank, 2-inch diameter, schedule 40 PVC casing above 25 feet of 2-inch diameter, 0 02-inch ' 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 of bailing, surging, and pumping until all appreciable fines were removed from the well casing GROUNDWATER MONITORING ACTIVITIES ' Monitonng Well Sounding On May 17, 2000, Mike Luksic of the Port's Environmental and Regulatory Affairs Department ' accompanied Precision Enviro-Tech's field personnel, Thang Huynh who sounded and sampled the Port's former UST Site No 3 monitoring wells MW3-i 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 muumum 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 LW sice3 ut,a a� 3
