GROUND WATER SAMPLING <br /> After each well was purged, ground water levels were remeasured to verify the amount of ground <br /> water recharge. Upon achieving at least 80% ground water recharge, samples were collected from <br /> wells MW-1 through MW-4 utilizing the techniques described above in purging each well. Ground <br /> water samples were transferred into 40-m1 EPA-approved volatile organic analysis (VOA) vials <br /> ' containing 0.5 ml 18%hydrochloric acid as a sample preservative and 1-liter amber bottles without <br /> sample preservative. Care was taken to ensure that visible air bubbles were not present in the vials <br /> after filling and capping. Ground water sample containers were labeled with the well designation, <br /> ' date, time, and sampler's initials. <br /> 2.3. LABORATORY ANALYSIS OF GROUND WATER SAMPLES <br /> Each ground water sample was logged on a chain-of-custody form,placed in a chilled container and <br />' . transported to a California Department of Health Services (DHS)-certified laboratory; the ground <br /> water samples were analyzed for: <br />' . Total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline and diesel (TPH-g and TPH-d, <br /> respectively) by EPA Method 8015M; <br /> Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), methyl-tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), <br /> Ethylene dibromide' (EDB), 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA), tertiary butanol (TBA), di- <br /> isopropyl ether (DIPE), ethyl tert butyl ether (ETBE), and tert amyl methyl ether (TAME) <br /> by EPA Method 8260B. <br />' 3.0. FINDINGS <br /> Field data was utilized to determine ground water elevation,flow direction and gradient. Petroleum <br />' hydrocarbon-impact to ground water was quantified by laboratory analysis. <br />' 3.1. GROUND WATER ELEVATION AND GRADIENT <br /> The_depths to ground water in wells MW-1 through.MW-4 were measured between 57.73 and s <br /> X59.18 feet below the tops of well casings; ground water elevations in wells MW-1 through MW-4 <br /> were calculated to be between 32.19 feet (MW-3) and 32.42 feet,(MW-4) below mean sea level , <br />' (MSL) (Figure 3). Ground water flow direction for the area bound by wells MW-1 through MW-4 <br /> was inferred as toward the south-southwest at a gradient of approximately 0.001 ft/ft. ` <br /> Advanced GcoEnvironmental,Inc. <br />
