Tn3advvell8Rdb <br /> 3.0 SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS <br /> Groundwater is generally encountered in wells at the Site at approximately 15 to 18 feet below <br /> ground surface (bgs) The Site is underlain by silts and clays with some shallow silty sand <br /> layers Groundwater elevations advanced in January 2004, borings at the Site generally <br /> stabilized at 17 to 18 bgs <br /> The release that occurred at the former Tank No 7 location has been identified as being <br />' responsible for the groundwater contamination currently present at the site Two monitoring <br /> wells, MW-3, located adjacent to the former UST location, and down gradient well MW-9 have <br /> significant concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons <br /> Up to 23 inches of free product was encountered in well MW-3 in 1992 (AGE, 1999) From <br /> 1994 to approximately 1997, there was a local rise in groundwater of at least 10 feet From <br /> November 1995 to February 1996, the groundwater rose above the top of the recorded well <br /> screen elevation in MW-3, and the measurable free product thickness decreased and finally <br /> Iceased appearing in MW-3 during this same period (AGE, 2003) If free product was present <br /> during this period, it is not expected that it would have been detected in MW-3, as the top of the <br /> well screen terminated below the groundwater elevation <br /> Since groundwater analyses began in 1996 at MW-3, the concentrations of total petroleum <br /> hydrocarbon as gasoline (TPHg) have not shown a significant change, ranging between <br /> 300,000 mg/kg and 110,000 mg/kg In spite of several years of in-situ remediation technologies <br /> (air sparging, vapor extraction and ozone spargmg) operating at the Site, the average <br /> groundwater concentration has been approximatcly 180,000 micrograms per liter(pg/L) <br /> (Treadwell & Rollo, 2004) During groundwater grab sampling in January 2004, bonngs 16B-6b <br /> and 16B-8 (Figure 3) had similar TPHg and benzene concentrations to MW-3, and a <br /> hydrocarbon sheen was observed on groundwater in these bonngs <br /> 25971021 DJS 3 18 November 2004 <br />
