Site Background Information: Lopez Property <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> of removal. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for gasoline, diesel, kerosene, motor oil, <br /> benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX) and lead, but a chain of custody was never <br /> submitted.Although the analytical results showed non-detect for all analytes,the EHD did not close <br /> this case because of the missing chain of custody form and the discrepancy between the EHD <br /> observations and the laboratory analytical results. <br /> PREVIOUS SITE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES <br /> An Unauthorized Release Report(UAR)was issued by the EHD in March 1994 to facilitate further <br /> site assessment.On 04 June 1996,one soil boring was advanced through the former tank excavation <br /> to a depth of 15 feet bsg.However,the EHD was notified that the sample had been lost,and the site <br /> was resampled on 20 June 1996 at a depth of 16 feet bsg;the analytical results indicated non-detect <br /> for gasoline,BTEX and the fuel oxygenate MTBE.The laboratory quality assurance procedures were <br /> questioned by the EHD and resolved in December 1996. The property was given a "no further <br /> action" letter and"closed"by the EHD in May 1997. <br /> During a Phase I investigation for potential property transfer,a discrepancy was discovered between <br /> site maps prepared by EHD and a former consultant for the property owner. On 20 August 2003, <br /> AGE attempted to relocate the UST excavation.Field personnel located what appeared to be brackets <br /> used to secure the former UST vent pipe to a building.Based on this discovery and EHD inspection <br /> maps,a soil probe boring was advanced to a total depth of 30 feet bsg adjacent to the suspected vent <br /> pipe location to collect soil and ground water samples. Laboratory analysis of the soil samples <br /> detected total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline (TPH-g) and BTEX compounds at <br /> maximum concentrations of0 00 mg/kg TPH-g, 13 mg/kg benzene, 330 mg/kg toluene, <br /> 180 mg/kg ethylbenzene, and mg/kg total xylenes. Laboratory analysis of the ground water <br /> sample reported 2,560,000 micrograms liter (µg/1) TPH-g, 1,300 µg/1 benzene, 30,000 µg/1 <br /> toluene, 37,000 µg/1 ethylbenzene and A,000 µg/1 total xylenes. MTBE was not detected in the <br /> analyzed soil and ground water samples. <br /> J+'n I5'ob <br /> Advanced GeoEnvironn ental,Inc. <br />
