Petroleum Hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHG) and Toluene, Ethylbenzene <br /> . and Xylene. No benzene was reported in the groundwater samples. <br /> On May 30, 1995, JPCA constructed three monitoring wells on this <br /> site, Figure 2 . Soil samples collected from these borings were <br /> analyzed. On June 5, 1995, six days after the installation of the <br /> wells, JPCA collected groundwater samples which were analyzed. <br /> The soil and groundwater samples collected were analyzed for Total <br /> Petroleum Hydrocarbons as Gasoline (TPHG) and Benzene, Toluene, <br /> Ethylbenzene and Xylene (BTEX) . The groundwater samples were <br /> analyzed for TPHG by EPA Method 8015 modified with purge and trap <br /> preparation 5030 (GC/FID) with detection limits of 50ug/l. EPA <br /> Method 602 was utilized for BTEX with a detection limit of 0.5ug/l <br /> as required by the SJCEHD. <br /> The results of the analysis of the soil samples indicated minor <br /> levels of contamination in parts per million (ppm) . <br /> The results of the analysis of the groundwater samples in parts per <br /> billion (ppb) are shown in Table 1. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> June 1995 Groundwater Sample Analysis Results in ppb. <br /> • Sample ID TPHG B T E X <br /> MW-1 1, 400 8 . 1 1. 6 13 89 <br /> MW-2 2, 100 33 ND ND 44 <br /> MW-3 13 , 000 120 22 130 920 <br /> ND = Not Detected <br /> The concentrations of TPHG and BTEX in the groundwater were high <br /> and actionable. <br /> FIELD WORK <br /> JPCA notified the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Division <br /> (SJCEHD) inspector 48 hours prior to initiation of field work. On <br /> March 11, 1996, John P. Cummings of JPCA collected groundwater <br /> samples. <br /> • 3 <br />
