ConocoPhillips conducts groundwater <br /> monitoring at the Site pursuant to Monitoring and Reporting Program No. R5-2004-0824. <br /> NuStar Energy (NuStar) currently owns and operates the Site. <br /> Groundwater underlying and downgradient of the Site has been degraded with low levels of <br /> contaminants of concern (COCs), including total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHd), <br /> tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), TPH as gasoline (TPHg), and di.- <br /> isopropyl ether (DIPE). Since December 2007, remediation has consisted of injecting <br /> pressurized oxygen into up to 16 injection wells installed in contamination hot-spots. <br /> Monitoring for the fourth quarter was conducted on 3 December 2010. Table 4 shows that <br /> TPHd concentrations ranged from 130 to 410 micrograms per liter (Ng/L). Fourth quarter <br /> monitoring was not conducted in MW-18C, which had a third quarter spurious TPHd <br /> concentration of 1,900 pg/L. TBA was detected in only one well at 35 pg/L. The highest <br /> concentration of MTBE was 2.3 pg/L. TPHg was not detected above laboratory reporting limits. <br /> The elevated concentrations of methanol observed in six wells during the first quarter of 2010, <br /> ranging from 1,200 pg/L in MW-19C to 60,000 pg/L in MW-17B, were absent during the next <br /> two consecutive quarters and were most likely anomalous. Methanol was not analyzed in any <br /> monitoring well samples during the fourth quarter. <br /> In most wells, contaminant concentrations are within the range of historical variations that <br /> immediately preceded and followed implementation of the mobile oxygen injection pilot study. <br /> TBA concentrations have decreased most distinctly in response to oxygen in MW-17B and <br /> MW21 B. <br /> After failing to sustain increases in dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations or to achieve <br /> substantial reductions in COC concentrations after about six months of implementing the pilot <br /> study, in May 2008, ConocoPhillips increased the volume of the oxygen injections from <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> �aRecycled Paper <br />
