19 November 2009 <br /> AGE-NC Project No. 02-0950 <br /> Page 10 of 13 <br /> wells MW-1 and MW-3 through MW-6;these wells are considered non detect wells for constituents <br /> of concern. Additionally, following the July 2007 corrective action measures at the site, dissolved <br /> TPH-d and BTEX concentrations decreased at wells MW-2 and MW-7 to non detectable levels, <br /> while TPH-g concentrations declined to 520 µg/1 and 300 gg/1, respectively. <br /> Based on plots of TPH-g, TPH-d and benzene versus time (Appendix E), a definitive trend of <br /> decreasing dissolved concentrations has been evident at the site from monitoring wells MW-2 and <br /> MW-7. At various times between September 2007 and May 2009, all dissolved TPH-d and BTEX <br /> concentrations declined to non detect levels. Additionally, based on the plots of TPH-g <br /> concentrations versus time, a trend line was utilized to project that TPH-9 concentrations should <br /> reach non detect levels at well MW-2 by October 2010, and should reach non detect levels at well <br /> MW-7 by August 2010. <br /> The estimated maximum extent of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons is depicted in Figure 12, and <br /> is representative of ground water conditions prior to corrective action. From the well of greatest <br /> impact(i.e.MW-2),the dissolved plume extends 50 feet toward the north-northwest,52 feet toward <br /> the south-southeast, 19 feet toward the west and 33 feet toward the east. Based on the data, the <br /> dissolved extent can be separated into three contour zones of 10,000 gg/1, 1,000 gg/l and 50 gg/1(i.e <br /> non detect). The volume of each contour zones can be determined by utilizing the formula for an <br /> elliptical cylinder.Based on the estimated volumes of the above three contoured zone,the apparent <br /> maximum volume of TPH impacted ground water at the site yielded approximately 11.41 pounds <br /> of TPH(equivalent to 1.83 gallons).Maximum dissolved mass-volume calculations are included in <br /> Appendix J. <br /> The estimated remaining extent of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons is depicted in Figure 13, and <br /> is representative of the most recent ground water monitoring conditions (i.e. May 2009). From the <br /> well of greatest impact(i.e.MW-2),the dissolved plume extends 30 feet toward the north-northeast, <br /> 10 feet toward the south-southwest,nine feet toward the west and 7 feet toward the east. Based on <br /> the low concentrations (i.e. 300 gg/1 and 520 gg/1) detected at wells MW-2 and MW-7, the <br /> distribution of dissolved TPH concentrations at the site can be estimated utilizing an elliptical <br /> cylinder and an average concentration of 410 gg/1. Based on the above assumptions at the site, the <br /> apparent remaining volume of TPH impacted ground water yielded approximately 0.09 pounds of <br /> TPH(equivalent to 0.014 gallons).Remaining dissolved mass-volume calculations are included in <br /> Appendix J. <br /> 7.0. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS <br /> Based on data collected during site assessment and ground water monitoring events at the Masonite <br /> site, AGE concludes: <br /> Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
