<br />' historically detected TPH-g and BTEX compounds in water samples collected from wells MW-1,
<br /> VW-1 and VW-2, the highest dissolved concentrations were detected in wells MW-1 and VW-2
<br /> during their first sampling events on 22 December 1988 and 26 November 1997,respectively The
<br />' highest concentrations of TPH-g was 34,000 micrograms per liter(µg/1)from well VW-2d,followed
<br /> closely in magnitude by 33,700 µg/1 in well MW-1 and 32,000 pg/I or 29,000 µg/1 in vapor well
<br /> VW-5s and VW-1,respectively TPH-g and BTEX compound concentrations generally declined at
<br />' well MW-1 and the former UST area during the declining ground water table elevation of the early
<br /> 1990's The TPH-g detections then rebounded to a high concentration in October 1996 during which
<br /> time water rose to 30 feet bsg or within the mayor coarse sand and gravel layers at the site, and/or
<br />' the water table was five feet above the top of the MW-1 well screen BTEX compounds have been
<br /> detected as great as 6,100 µg/l benzene, 4,900 µ.g/1 toluene, 2,300 µg/1 ethyl-benzene and 6,100
<br /> xylene (VW-2d)
<br />' However,all these concentrations decreased after the initial sampling TPH-g and BTEX,along with
<br /> fuel additive concentrations decreased in vapor wells and the monitoring wells,during SVE and IAS
<br />' remediation near the former UST area Monitoring well MW-1,vapor wells VW-I and VW-5d have
<br /> declined to non-detect levels, since July of 2003 The concentration trends of TPH-g and BTEX
<br />' detections in the samples from well VW-2d, at the former UST area
<br /> Laboratory analysis of samples from well MW-6, representing the deeper ground water, have
<br />' detected TPH-g as high as 1,000 µg/1 in the July 2003 sample Concentrations of TPH-g in well
<br /> MW-6 have steadily declined to a non-detect level during six sampling events, over 18 months
<br /> Additionally, BTEX compounds had been observed in the samples from well MW-6 at
<br />' concentrations up to 62 µg/1 of benzene, 7 4 µg/1 of toluene, 31 µ.g/1 of ethyl-benzene and 19 µg/1
<br /> of xylene The BTEX concentrations have also declined to non-detect levels or at levels below
<br /> concern or maximum contaminant limits, since July 2003 The December 2004 well sample from
<br />' well MW-6 was non-detect for hydrocarbons
<br /> Laboratory analysis has also detected the fuel additives, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE),
<br />' 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and randomly di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), tert butanol (TBA), ethyl
<br /> tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) and tertiary-amyl methyl ether (TAME) The following fuel additives
<br /> have been detected constantly
<br />' • MTBE in well VW-2d at concentrations as high as 120 µg/1 (31 December 2002) and
<br /> currently is detected near 16 µ.g/1, while MTBE was previously steadily detected in well
<br />' MW-1 and VW-5d at low concentration, these well samples are currently non detect for
<br /> MTBE,
<br />' • 1,2-DCA in monitoring well MW-1 and vapor wells VW-1,VW-2d and VW-5d, 1,2-DCA
<br /> is currently non-detect in these wells,the last detection of 1,2-DCA was in the August 2004
<br /> • sample of VW-2d, at a concentration of 6 4 µ.g/1,
