Low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in soil samples from MW-3, MW-4 and VW-1 No hydrocarbons were detected in soil samples from MW-2 Eight additional soil bonngs were drilled in March 1994 Seven of the eight soil borings were drilled off-site, south and southwest of the site The data indicated that impacted soil extends approximately 180 to 200 feet off-site to the southwest,however,most of the off-site impacted soil contains very low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons FREE-PRODUCT IN GROUND WATER It is our understanding that prior to January 1995, groundwater samples from the site had been collected on three occasions During each sampling event, free hydrocarbon product was detected in MW-1, therefore, no samples were collected Free hydrocarbon product was encountered in MW-1 and MW-4 AQUIFER TESTING AND ANALYSIS A pump test was performed at the site by SEACOR Groundwater was extracted from MW-1 and drawdown was measured in three surrounding wells The test duration was approximately 24 hours SEACOR concluded in the PAR that drawdown data collected during the pump test indicated that the pumping from MW-1 has little influence at the site Therefore, a pump and treat system of ground water remediation would likely be ineffective at the site Complete pump test data was included in the PAR SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION TEST On 10 June 1994 a soil vapor extraction test was conducted at the site A vacuum was applied to an extraction well (VW-1) and measurements of flow rate and vacuum were collected from three temporary observation wells(VW-2,VW-3 and VW-4) However,a vacuum could not be achieved on VW-1, so the internal combustion (IC) unit was connected to one of the observation wells It appears that VW-1 may have been placed too close to the western UST excavation, which was backfilled with pea gravel, and "short circuited" the attempt to draw a significant vacuum Despite the short circuiting of VW-1,the test concluded that vapor extraction would be a viable remediation alternative for impacted soil at the site The data collected during the pilot test indicated that sufficient flow and hydrocarbon recovery rates can be achieved at the site ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT OF HYDROCARBON IMPACTED SOIL AND REMEDIATION INSTALLATION From 03 to 05 Tanuary1995, a total of five soil borings were drilled at the site The bonngs P-1,P-2 and P-3 were di filled to depths of 27 feet Boring P-4 was drilled at an angle of approximately 30° Advanced GcoEnvironmental,Inc
