<br /> . 1, MW-3 through MW-8, and domestic well DW-1 No separate phase petroleum was noted in the wells,
<br />' but a strong petroleum odor was noted in groundwater recovered from MW-1 and MW-8, a slight
<br /> petroleum odor was noted in MW-3, and a moderate "earthy" odor was noted in MW-7 A broken sheen
<br /> was observed in the groundwater purged from MW-1 The groundwater samples collected from the
<br /> monitoring wells and the domestic well were analyzed for BTEX, TPH-G, and selected gasoline
<br /> oxygenates/additives Including MTBE Laboratory analytical results for the December 9, 2002,
<br /> monitoring event were generally consistent with historical laboratory analytical results
<br /> ' The average groundwater elevation was approximately 196 feet higher on December 9, 2002, than the
<br /> previous sampling event conducted on September 30, 2002 The groundwater elevation contours
<br /> estimated with the depth to water measurements Indicated the groundwater gradient was generally
<br /> ' towards the west The groundwater gradient estimated using MW-4, MW-6, and MW-7 was 0 00176
<br /> ft/ft towards the northwest, and was generally consistent with historical groundwater gradients estimated
<br /> for the site
<br />' In a letter dated March 7, 2003, Condor proposed that the groundwater monitoring program be reduced to
<br /> include quarterly sampling of MW-4, MW-8, and the domestic well, annual sampling of MW-5 and MW-
<br /> 7, and no further sampling of MW-1, MW-3, and MW-6 In a fax dated March 21, 2003, Mr Harlin Knoll
<br /> of SJCEHD approved this reduction in sampling
<br /> t Condor conducted the first quarter 2003 groundwater monitoring event at the site on March 28, 2003
<br /> Groundwater samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analyses from monitoring wells MW-4,
<br /> MW-8, and domestic well DW-1 No separate phase petroleum was noted in the wells, but a moderate
