Samples were analyzed for the following parameters consistent <br /> with SJCPHS requirements:- <br /> • Total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHG) using U.S. Environmental <br /> Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 8015M <br /> • Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) using USEPA Method <br /> 8020 <br /> • Methyl-tert-buty I ether (MTBE)using USEPA Method 8020 <br /> • Oxygenates [tertiary butanol, MTBE, di-isopropyl ether (DIPS), ethyl tertiary <br /> butyl ether (ETBE), and tertiary arnyl methyl ether (TAME)] using USEPA <br /> Method 8260 <br /> • Total lead USEPA Method.7420 <br /> Tank Excavation Soil Samples <br /> Analytical results indicate petroleum hydrocarbon impacts are present along the base of <br /> the northern and southwestern parts of the former UST complex at depths of 17 feet bgs. <br /> TPHG was detected in 4 samples at concentrations ranging from 240 to 11,000 milligrams <br /> per kilogram (mg/kg). The highest concentration of TPHG was detected in sample T-2-N. <br /> Benzene was detected in one sample, T-3-N, at a concentration of 0.19 mg/kg. MTBE <br /> was detected in each of the six samples at concentrations ranging from 9.2 to 272 mg/kg. <br /> The highest MTBE concentration was detected in sample T-1-N. TAME was detected in <br /> two samples, T-1-N and T-3-N, at concentrations of 2.36 and 0.418 mg/kg respectively. <br /> Total,lead was detected in three tank pit soil samples ranging from 12.2 to 639 mg/kg. <br /> See Table 1 for analytical results and Appendix C for copies of certified analytical reports. <br /> In addition to the soil samples collected+at the base of the UST complex, four sidewall <br /> samples were collected at eighteen feet bgs. The side wall samples were collected-from <br /> the north, south, east, and west side walls of the excavation. TPHG was detected in two <br /> sidewall samples (SW-N and SW-W) at concentrations of 364 and '1,840 mg/kg <br /> respectively. Benzene was detected in one sidewall sample (SW-N) at a concentration of <br /> CP`E:\ARCO\21861REPORTS�2186P105.DOC-95 1sg:1 �GautCLC <br />
