28 January 1993 <br /> (GeoAudit CV43F1-1.35) <br /> _ Page 5 of 5 <br /> The benzene contamination detected in the water sample may be the <br /> result of leakage from the former UST on the site, although this <br /> contamination could have an off-site source. <br /> The source of the halogenated solvents (i. e. the TPH) is unknown. <br /> Such solvents are commonly used by industrial firms for cleaning <br /> and degreasing, and the contamination probably originated off-site <br /> in one of the surrounding industries. The contamination may have <br /> entered the groundwater through the septic system that serves the <br /> building complex to the south. This system is located approximately <br /> 20 -- 30 feet south of the monitoring well. Alternatively, the <br /> solvents could have been introduced on-site via some unknown prior <br /> use of the site. <br /> We recommend that the well be re-sampled within three months and <br /> analyzed for the presence of halogenated hydrocarbons and BTE&X in <br /> accordance with EPA methods 8015, 8020, and 601. <br /> LIMITATIONS <br /> our professional services were performed using that degree of care <br /> and skill ordinarily exercised by environmental consultants <br /> practicing in this or similar localities. The findings were mainly <br /> based on analytical results provided by an independent Laboratory. <br /> Evaluations of the geologic conditions at the site for the purpose <br /> of this investigation are made from a limited number of available <br /> data points (i.e. borings) and subsurface conditions may vary away <br /> from these data points. Although soil contamination was not <br /> encountered, it could be present in areas not investigated by this <br /> assessment. Therefore, no other warranty, expressed or implied, is <br /> made as to the professional recommendations contained in this <br /> report. <br /> The opportunity .to prepare this report is greatly appreciated. <br /> Please feel free to call our office if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, �Solp <br /> GEOLOGICAL AUDIT SERVICES, INC. <br /> i <br /> No.3475 <br /> '4� • OF ca.ITo`��P <br /> Bob Marty Victor B.
