<br /> Hydrostrati graphic Unit 3 (HU3)extends from 96 feet bsg to and possibly beyond 134 feet bsg. Silt
<br /> and clay are the dominant soil type in the interval, though sand is present. The interval is
<br /> characterized by pore pressure variations from moderate to high pressures.
<br /> PREVIOUS SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
<br /> On 18 September 1997, five soil probe borings (B 1 through 135)were advanced at the site to assess
<br /> the lateral and vertical extents of petroleum-impacted soil.Total petroleum hydrocarbons quantified
<br /> as gasoline (TPH-g) were detected in samples from B1, B3, and B5 at concentrations as high as
<br /> 14,000 mg/kg.Benzene was detected in only one sample(B140),at a concentration of 0.042 mg/kg.
<br /> Toluene,ethylbenzene,and xylenes were detected in samples from B 1,B3,and B5 at concentrations
<br /> as high as 1,600 mg/kg(xylenes in 135-25). TPH-d was detected in samples from B 1,B3,and B5 at
<br /> concentrations as high as 12,000 mg/kg (133-10 and B3-15). None of the samples analyzed from
<br /> borings B2 or B4 contained detectable concentrations of TPH-g, TPH-d, volatile aromatic
<br /> compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), or methyl tertiary-butyl ether
<br /> (MTBE).
<br /> From 22 to 24 February 2000, four soil borings (MW-1 through MW-3 and 136) were advanced at
<br /> the site. TPH-g was detected in nine of the 16 soil samples analyzed at concentrations as high as
<br /> 6,700 mg/kg. TPH-d was detected in seven of the 16 soil samples analyzed at concentrations as high
<br /> as 5,800 mg/kg. Benzene was detected in four of the 16 samples at concentrations as high as
<br /> 0.027 mg/kg. Toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes were detected in eleven of the 16 samples at
<br /> concentrations as high as 370 mg/kg.MTBE was not detected in any samples analyzed. Petroleum
<br /> hydrocarbons were not detected in five of the 16 soil samples analyzed.
<br /> In February 2001, four pilot soil borings were advanced at the site. Pilot borings MW-4 through
<br /> MW-7 were completed as ground water monitoring wells using two-inch diameter PVC casings with
<br /> 0.020-inch slotted screens installed from approximately 60 feet to 40 feet bsg and with blank casing
<br /> extending to the surface. A total of 16 soil samples were analyzed for TPH-g, TPH-d, BTEX,
<br /> 1,2-dibromoethane(EDB), 1,2-dichloroethane(1,2-DCA),and the suite of five fuel additives.None
<br /> of the analytes were detected at or above laboratory reporting limits in the soil sample analysis.
<br /> On 10 and 11 January 2002, three soil boring (CPT-1, CPT-2, and CPT-3) were advanced on-site
<br /> utilizing CPT technology to model the geologic and hydrogeologic framework and to assess potential
<br /> dissolved petroleum migration pathways beneath the site. Soil borings CPT-1, CPT-2, and CPT-3
<br /> were advanced vertically to total depths of 96 feet bsg, 134 feet bsg, and 125 feet bsg,respectively,
<br /> utilizing a 25-ton truck-mounted CPT drill rig equipped with 1.50-inch diameter hollow-stem rods.
<br /> A total of five grab ground water samples were collected from CPT-1, CPT-2, and CPT-3
