a, M M-M contamination was obvious by sight and smell . The clean up was done by startirig at the edges of the previous excavation and moving outward and downward until no more evidence of the contam- ination was found. After reaching the obvious end of this contarn- ination, to make sure all ;vas removed, the excavation \vas exten- ded at least 5 feet past the end of contamination in all direct- ions . The contamination appeared to be tear drop in %Ihapc and followed a very symetrical pattern in a circle approxirwrtely 60 feet in diameter at the very bottom. The soil smelled very strong of diesel fuel and had a dark brown color to within approximately 1 foot of the last evidence of the contamination found.The last foot consisted of sandy material and a heavy concentration of heavy bunker oil . This was cleaned away and added to the pile of contaminated soil . f=ollowing our plan, we then removed approximately another 5 feet of soil under the last evidence of contamination and then encountered groundwater , which has now partially filled the excavation. We have stockpiled and separated all of the excavated soil . The contaminated soil is on site in two locations . The largest pile is from the second excavation and is located on the southeast corner of the property, on a concrete slab of approximately one acre in size. It is on plastic and covered with plastic. It is approximately 4000 cubic yards in volume. The smaller pile is located in the north central portion of the property and is on a paved asphalt slab, on plastic and covered with plastic. It is approximately 1200 cubic yards in volume. The total �r`i. :_:_f-nc-luding clean soil , ex avated is approxi m tel - 10`000 cubic yaids. �� r --- yt�ti aua a After excavation was completed, the ownctrs `f`i red Canonie Environmental to take composite samples from around the bottom of the excavation and the groundwater present in the excavation. The results showed "non-detectable" levels of all constituents of petroleum hydrocarbons ( results are enclosed) in both soil and water samples. At this time the owners are requesting permission to pump the groundwater from the excavation and begin to start backfill and compaction. Prior to this, if the SJLHS requests , we are prepared to take additional soil and water :>amples from anywhere the county requests , pertaining to the excavation and contaminated piles of soil or any where else they deem necessary.
