I ' 25 February 2005 . AGE-NC Project No 01-0827 ' Page 6 of 10 ' B 17 and OZ 1) and seven soil excavation samples were analyzed as part of an ongoing subsurface petroleum hydrocarbon investigation Analytical results of soil samples are summarized in Table 1 ' - To date, a total of 43 soil samples at depths ranging from 2 feet to 46 5 feet bsg have been submitted for laboratory analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons, TPH-g, TPH-d and BTEX compounds were detected In 20 of the soil samples analyzed, analysis for fuel additives were ' not generally included when the soil samples were analyzed (Table 2) The greatest concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil were encountered at soil borings B 10 and B16 which were completed as soil vapor extraction wells, with TPH-g concentrations ' as high as 5,100 mg/kg(B 16 at 15 feet),and BTEX compounds at concentrations as high as 11 mg/kg benzene, 40 mg/kg toluene, 18 mg/kg ethylbenzene and 110 mg/kg xylenes (B 1 at 25 and 35 feet) The boring BID trace was established through the former UST excavation ' area Soil boring B9 (VW-1)had low detections of TPH-g and BTEX compounds,however, soil ' sample collected from boring B16 (VW-4), located further east from the UST excavation than B9, had more significant detections of hydrocarbons TPH-g and BTEX compounds were also detected in soil samples collected from boring B 13 and B 15 ' - The most significant concentrations were detected above a depth of 25 feet bsg, Indicating that ground water was likely at 25 feet to 30 feet bsg during the release period and/or the ' sand to silt contact at 30 feet bsg mitigated the vertical migration of the hydrocarbon release From the former UST area, the lateral extent of TPH-g-Impacted soil appears to extend approximately 20 feet towards the west, less than 10 feet towards the east which is the ' down-gradient ground water flow direction, also less than 10 feet towards the south and up to a distance of 30 feet towards the north,under the building at the site The lateral extent of petroleum-impacted soil appears to be moderately defined in all directions by boring B4/11, B5, B7 and boring B15 The vertical extent of TPH-g-impacted soil is defined towards the west (B7), east (B 11), ' south(B5)and north(B 13 and B 15),where TPH-g-impacted soil appears to extend to at least 40 feet bsg (Figures 3 and 4 depict selected soil sample locations and the estimated extent of TPH-g concentrations adsorbed in soil In cross sectional view) - The majority of the UST removal samples collected in 1993 were non-detect for petroleum hydrocarbons, however, the Initial soil sample collected in April 1987 indicating that the source of the release was the decommissioned/removed UST#1 at the northern edge of the common UST excavation, near vapor well VW2d - The rise in the water table,over the monitoring period,from a depth of 45 feet to 25 feet bsg ' currently has created a smear zone to a depth of 25 to 40 feet bsg and contributed to the • dissolved contamination at the site The contribution of impacted silt and clay, surrounding Advanced GcoEnvironmental,Inc
