- r <br /> i <br /> E�E <br /> Z BACKGROUND <br /> (.9 <br /> Three underground fuel tanks were excavated and removed from the Nor- <br /> Cal Beverage facility in January 1991 (see Figure 2}, Soil samples were <br /> I — coliected by a previous consultant from the base of the tank excavation <br /> (see Figure 3) and analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline <br /> — (TPHG); benzene, toluene, ethyibenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX); lead; <br /> and ethylene dibromide. The analytical results are summarized in Table 1. <br /> Lead and ethylene dibromide were not dateccted; however, up to <br /> 30,000 milligrams per Mloglcm (mg/kg)of TPHG and 39 mg/kg of benzene <br /> were detected in the soil samples. <br /> Based on these analytical results, additional soil was excavated to a <br /> maximum depth of approximately 24 feet. The lateral limits of excavation <br /> were dictated by the existing building and property lines. Additional bottom <br /> and side wall samples were collected and analyzed by the consultant (see h: <br /> Figure 4). These samples were analyzed for TPHG, BTEX, and total <br /> —_ petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHD), and selected samples were <br /> _ analyzed for halogenated volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Halo- <br /> genated VOCs were not detected. Detectable concentrations of TPHG or <br /> TPHD were not found in 5 of 14 samples collected from the tank excava- <br /> tion (see Table 2}. Of the remaining nine samples, five contained TPHG <br /> and TPHD 4oncentrations less than 10 mg/kg (nos. 1, 2, 9, 10, and 13) '< <br /> Y and one contained TPHG and TPHD concentrations between 10 and 100 <br /> mg/kg no <br /> Based on the concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons detected in both <br /> sets of soil samples, the San Joaquin County Department of Public Health <br /> �� -- Services verbally requested that three ground-water monitoring wells be <br /> installed. EMCON proposed, as an initial step, to install one ground-water <br /> monitoring well within the forme;fuel tank excavation limits to evaluate the <br /> A - vertical extent of petroleum hydrocarbon impact beneath the tank excava- <br /> tion,and to evaluate whether ground water iias been impacted. <br /> pjgl9051g050101d 2 Rev.0 July 2,1991 <br /> N.
