1 quarterly Monuonn5 Report,July 3998 Canepa s Car Wash 248E Park St gust 24 n 98 August 24 1998 Page 2 IGroundwater Elevation The average depth to groundwater was approximately 24 2 feet below the monitor well measuring points (slightly below the ground surface) The groundwater elevation ranged from 14 09 to 12 13 feet below mean sea level (bmsl) Groundwater elevation contours are shown in Figure 3, Appendix A I 3 QUARTERLY GROUNDWATER MONITORING-JULY 1998 The work conducted during the quarterly groundwater monitoring was in accordance with the approved protocol formerly established at the site The scope-of-work conducted was approved by Mr Ronald Rowe of the PHS/EHD On July 23, 1998, Condor personnel made field observations and collected groundwater samples from the seven monitor wells at the site (see Figure 2, Appendix A, for well locations) All down-hole field equipment was decontaminated in the field with a solution of laboratory-grade, non-phosphate detergent and hydrocarbon-free water and raised with hydrocarbon-free water prior to use in each well All field instruments were calibrated to the manufacturer's recommended standards The water level in each well was measured to the nearest 0 01 foot with a standard battery-operated, flat-tape, water level meter A new, disposable, polyethylene bailer was lowered into each well to collect a field-inspection sample The bailer sample was inspected for floating product, slieen, discoloration and/or odor Floating product was not observed in any of the monitor wells I during the groundwater sampling Water levels in the wells were above the top of the well screens, however Petroleum odors were noted in MW-2 and MW-5 I• Each well was purged with a dedicated bailer until at least three well-casing volumes of water were removed and until tht pH, speutfic conductance, and temperature of the water had stabilized Groundwater Monitoring Field Forms are included in Appendix B Prior to sampling, the water was allowed to recover to at least 80% of I the pre-purge water level The purge water was discharged to 55-gallon drums and left on site to await disposal For each well • A groundwater sample was collected with a disposable, one-time-use, polyethylene bailer The sample was transferred to two 40-m1 glass VOA vials fitted with Teflon-lined caps Each vial was inverted and tapped to assure that no air bubbles were present • Each vial was labeled and placed in a cooler chilled with ice and delivered under chain-of- custody procedures to GeoAnalytical Laboratories, Inc, in Modesto, California, within 24 hours of sample collection The results of laboratory analyses are discussed in Section 4 2 ' 4. MONITORING RESULTS 4 1 Laboratory Analyses The groundwater samples were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified as gasoline (TPH-G) by Method 5030/LEFT and for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and total xylenes (BTEX) by EPA Method 602 I Methyl tertiary Butyl Ether(MTBE) and gasoline oxygenates/additives were analyzed by EPA Method 8260 The laboratory certificates of analyses and chain-of-custody are located in Appendix C I `� CONDOR
