Site Background Information Sutter Office Center Page 6of7 CPT1-150, CPT2-150, and CPT5-150 at maximum concentrations of 35 µg11 benzene, 590 µg/1 ' toluene, 360 µg/l ethylbenzene, and 1,700 µg/l xylenes in sample CPT2-150 In addition, the fuel additive 1,2-DCA was detected in sample CPT2-150 at 2 8 µg/1 No other analytes were detected in the samples analyzed ' An additionalab ground water le (CPT2-185) was collected at a depth of 185 feet bsg, �' � sample approximately 25 feet below the limit of CPT soil data TPH-g was detected in this sample at a ' concentration of 130 µg/1 In addition,BTEX compounds were detected at concentrations of 17 µg11 benzene, 2 3 µg/l toluene, and 2 2 µg/1 xylenes No other analytes were detected CONCLUSIONS ' The following conclusions were drawn from the results of this Investigation ' a The site stratigraphy is composed predominantly of fine-grained soil consisting of silt,clayey silt, silty clay, and clay, with the exception of five significant sand lenses at depths of approximately 50 feet bsg, between 60 and 75 feet bsg, between 95 and 110 feet bsg, between 120 and 130 feet bsg, and between 140 and 160 feet bsg CPT pore pressure dissipation tests in the sandy silt, sand, and gravelly sand indicated that hydraulic conductivities were typical for sand mixtures ' 0 TPH-g and BTEX were detected in soil at low concentrations at 5 5 feet bsg,but at significant concentrations at 78 feet bsg Based on the vertical distribution of contaminants in soil from ' the present and previous site Investigations, AGE delineated two distinct zones of contaminated soil in fine-grained soil (HU1) between 30 and 40 feet bsg beneath the Chevron (northeastem-most) former dispenser Island, and in fine-grained soil (HU3) at ' 80 feet bsg The soil contamination at 30 to 40 feet bsg, which included diesel as well as gasoline products,may have originated from the overlying former Chevron dispenser island area However,based on the available data,the source for the deeper contamination at 80 feet bsg is uncertain, the former Standard Oil USTs cannot be ruled out • Petroleum hydrocarbons were detected in grab ground water samples collected from the northeastern portion of the site, in the area of CPT-1, CPT-2, and CPT-5, to approximately ' 180 feet bsg Based on the vertical distribution of contaminants in ground water from the present and previous site Investigations, the highest concentration of contaminants appears ' to be between the upper ground water surface at boring A/MW-1 and 40 and 60 feet bsg in the area of CPT-1 and CPT-2 The concentrations of contaminants appear to decrease vertically toward a minimum in clay-rich, fine-grained soil at a depth between 80 and 100 feet bsg However, petroleum hydrocarbons increase again below 100 feet bsg, to high concentrations between 11,000 µg/1 and 14,000 µg/l TPH-g at depths between 120 and 150 feet bsg The vertical distribution of TPH-g concentrations suggests that the primary Advanced GeoEnvironfnental,Inc
