GEOMATRIX between 28.0 to 37.0 feet bgs. Soil samples from borings GMX-2 through GMX-7 were collected from either the interval of the soil core that visually appeared to be most affected by petroleum hydrocarbons, or, if no petroleum-affected soil was observed, from just above the water table. The samples were collected in 6-inch stainless steel sleeves, sealed with Teflon sheets, plastic end caps, and tape. Soil cuttings are stored on-site in a covered steel bin pending proper disposal. Following sampling, the boreholes were grouted from the bottom to within one foot of the ground surface with cement grout. A groundwater sample was collected from a previously installed monitoring well located on the Western Farm Service property (WFSMW-1; Figure 3) and downgradient of the subject site. Prior to sampling, the well was purged according to Geomatrix protocols using a 2-inch Grundf6s pump. To obtain a groundwater sample representative of the water-bearing zone screened by the well, a minimum of four casing volumes of water were removed from the well. The boring log from this well was also reviewed by Geomatrix for indications of residual petroleum hydrocarbon in soil (e.g. staining); none was observed. A grab groundwater sample was collected from downgradient boring GMX-6. Prior to sampling, a 2-inch-diameter PVC casing with screen (0.020-inch slot)was installed to the bottom of the boring. The grab groundwater sample was collected in accordance with Geomatrix protocols using a disposable polyethylene bailer and decanted into acidified 40- milliliter volatile organic analysis vials and I-liter amber bottles provided by the laboratory. At the time of boring GMX-6, former fuel pump islands were observed on the property at the northeast corner of the intersection of Welty Road and State Highway 33. According to Mr. Don Guzenhau$er, Site Manager for the 35275 Welty Road site, this property was operated as a 1 Union Gasoline Station from at least 1972 until the mid 1980s. All samples were labeled, sealed in plastic bags, and stored in an ice-cooled chest for delivery to Friedman and Bruya, Inc., of Seattle, Washington, under Geomatrix chain-of-custody procedures. Soil samples collected from borings GMX-2 through GMX-7 were submitted for analyses for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) quantified as crude oil (TPHC; C9-C36carbon range) by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 8015M; for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, �l and xylenes (BTEX)by EPA Method 8260B; and for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons ® (PAHs) by EPA Method 8270C SIM. The soil samples collected from boring GMX-1 were submitted for analyses for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260B. 3 Lc DOC SAFE15000S%5380\SOIL GW RPT.DOC
