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 all collected groundwater samples at <br /> concentrations ranging from 50 parts per billion (ppb) (MW6) to 280 ppb (MW3), but was <br /> reported by the laboratory as an unidentified hydrocarbon. <br /> WORK IN PROGRESS <br /> The next groundwater monitoring episode is scheduled to be performed in July 1997 and will <br /> include sample collection from monitoring wells MM2, MW3 and MW6. <br /> Please contact our Modesto office at 209 579-2221 if you have any questions or comments. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Smith Technology Corporation <br /> Jeanne Homsey, P.E. <br /> CA Registered Engineer No. C47410 <br /> Attachments C' <br /> PC: Mr. Jim Escobar, City of Stockton <br /> Ms. Elizabeth Thayer, RWQCB <br /> "r <br /> w:1943691quartlyl2gmr1997.doc 2 <br /> • <br /> SMTH <br />
