CvvATC <br /> A S S O C I A T E S I N C , <br /> D <br /> Groundwater samples were collected on October 5, 1998 from wells MW3 and MW6, No <br /> groundwater sample was collected from MW4 due to the presence of free product. Prior to <br /> sample collection, each sampled well was purged of a minimum of three well casing volumes of <br /> water. Purged water was contained in labeled 55-gallon drums (DOT H), and stored on site. <br /> Groundwater samples were collected after physical parameters (pH, temperature, and <br /> conductivity) were monitored and had stabilized. Dedicated disposable bailers with bottom- <br /> emptying devices were used to collect samples from the wells. All field activities were performed <br /> in accordance with the Field Methods included in Attachment 1. Field purge logs are presented in <br /> Attachment 2. <br /> LABORATORY ANALYSES <br /> Collected groundwater samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHd) <br /> by Sequoia Analytical, a State-certified laboratory, utilizing EPA method 8015. The analysis of <br /> groundwater samples for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes has been discontinued in <br /> accordance with verbal approval by San Joaquin County Public Health Services/Environmental <br /> Health Division on March 26, 1997, Analytical results are summarized in Table 3. Laboratory <br /> data sheets and chain-of-custody documentation are included in Attachment 3. <br /> Laboratory results indicate that TPHd was detected in groundwater samples collected from well <br /> MW3 at a of concentration of 630 parts per billion (ppb), but was reported by the laboratory as an <br /> unidentified hydrocarbon. The sample collected from well MW6 was nondetect. <br /> WORK IN PROGRESS <br /> A free product skimmer was installed in well MW4 and is being monitored. if free product is <br /> encountered in the skimmer, it will be removed from the skimmer and stored on site. The next <br /> groundwater monitoring episode is scheduled to be performed in January 1998 and will include <br /> sample collection from monitoring wells MW 1 through MW6. <br /> On October 5, 1998 the skimmer was temporarily removed due to a faulty seal. The skimmer is <br /> currently being repaired by the manufacturer and will be reinstalled when repairs are completed. <br /> w D43691quartlyl4gmr1998.doe 2 <br />
