23 March 2004 <br /> AGE-NC Project No. 03-1055 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> On 20 October 2003,prior to the start of excavation and with concurrence of Mr. Michael Infurna <br /> of the EHD, AGE determined that MW-2, located at the western edge of the site, should be <br /> abandoned and replaced at a future date;however,prior to AGE's intended removal of well MW-2, <br /> the western wall of the excavation collapsed and destroyed the well. The well casing was removed <br /> from the excavation and stored on plastic for later disposal. <br /> 2.2. EXCAVATION OF HYDROCARBON-IMPACTED SOIL <br /> On 20 and 21 October 2003,approximately 300 cubic yards of petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil <br /> was excavated from the southwest portion of the site(Figure 2); on 10, 11, and 12 November 2003 <br /> an additional 370 cubic yards of petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil was excavated north of the <br /> initial excavation.The excavation was performed by Precision Excavating and Drilling using a skip <br /> loader and an excavator. Excavated soil was field screened for the presence of organic vapor using <br /> an organic vapor meter (OVM) equipped with a photo-ionization detector (PID: Thermo <br /> Environmental 58013, 10.0 eV, calibrated to isobutylene). Impacted soil removed from the <br /> excavations was identified and segregated based on OVM readings and field observations.Excavated <br /> soil was stockpiled on-site for transportation and final disposal. <br /> 2.2.1. Additional UST Removal <br /> On 21 October 2003 a 500-gallon UST was discovered, on the western excavation wall, during <br /> excavation activities at the site. Due to the inadvertent removal of the tank by the excavator during <br /> excavation activities,the UST was stored on site and EHD was notified. The 500-gallon UST was <br /> removed by Valued Engineering hnc. on 05 November 2003 under EHD permit. <br /> 2.3. EXCAVATION SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS <br /> On 05 November 2003, AGE personnel collected four soil samples (UST-1 through UST-4) from <br /> beneath the floor area ofthe additional 500-gallon UST,six stockpile soil samples(STCK-1 through <br /> STCK-6), and one grab ground water sample from standing water in the excavation pit(Figure 2). <br /> On 12 and 13 November 2003,AGE personnel collected five soil samples(EXC-1 through EXC-5) <br /> from the side walls of the excavation and twelve stockpile soil samples(STCK-7 through STCK-12). <br /> The soil and ground water samples were collected at the direction of EHD representatives. <br /> Excavation soil samples were collected from the excavator bucket by hand-packing a two-inch <br /> diameter,3-inch long brass sleeve;stockpiled soil samples were collected by digging approximately <br /> 1-foot into the soil and then hand-packing the sample. Upon collection, the exposed ends of the <br /> ... Advanced GeoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
