I IIi of the tank under Chain-of-Custody by Can�onie' Laboratory personel , (Exhibit F, ) with instructions to be analyzed for BTX&E, TPH-G, EDB, . and organic lead, as required by the SJLHD! because of the fact that the tank was immediately adjacent to the pumps., (Plates VII & VIII , ) I no sample was taken on the fill line. Thel[tank removal and sampling was witnessed by Jaime Favla (sp^) of the SJLHD. Approximately 14 cubic yards of soil was removed from the excavation; after the tank was pulled, and samples taken, the soil was returned to the hole. Approximately 7 cubic yards of clean fill was 'added to replace them volume occupied by the removed tank, and the ''site was returned to grade the same day. { RESULTS OF SAMPLE ANALYSIS :I � 3 The results of the laboratory anlysis performed on the above samples are tabulated on Table I. All tested components from the sample at j the south end of the tank were below reporting limits; very minor amounts of Ethylbenzene, Xylene, and TPH were detected in the sample f-om the north end of the tank. f I On October 7, 1989, Jim Thorpe Oil , Inc.. wrote to the CRWQ'CB, stating that the small amount of contamination in the soil samples did not warrant further site investigation, and requested that the owners be relieved of any further work ate the location; (refer to' Exhibit F. ) As a result of telephone conversations between Richard Thorpe and Thomas Peltier of the CRWQCB, aisamp'le was taken from the : domestic water well on the property, (refer tc Plate VI , ) by Dr. . : John Bartell of McLaren Environmental and analyzed for BTX&E, TPH--G, EDB, and organic lead. The results revealed that all components were below rep,:;rting limits; table II listls the results in tabular form. PLUME SIZE AND CONFIGURATION: 4 , The writer did not witness the removal �caf the tank , but it was reported that no discoloration of soil was noted. It appears that only a minor amount of spillage occurred , Mand that a plume as such did not exist at this location. ESTIMATE OF AMOUNT OF PRODUCT LEAKAGE: ! 4 The owners of the property are deceas'd, and to the writer 's knowledge, there are no records available with which to determine the amount of fuel used during the time the tank was in place, or to estimate any spillage that may have occurred. sBecause the tank was in excellent condition when removed , and c17 evidence of leakage or soil discoloration was noted, it can be 'assuImed that any product leakage was of a very minor amount. As shown on Plates VI , VII & VIII , the pumps were located immediatelyadjac',ent to the driveway. It is most likely that any spills that might have occurred would k 1 J I JJY %?
