samples of the near surface soils (a depth of one to two feet) <br />from the same areas to identify if fuel has penetrated in such <br />areas. <br />Laboratory Testing. Analytical tests are being performed on the <br />water samples to evaluate the concentration of dissolved <br />components of fuel products. If groundwater samples were found to <br />be turbid, perhaps due to improper well construction, additional <br />samples will be obtained with 2 micron filters to separate the <br />undissolved constituents attached to clay and silt particles. The <br />samples are being tested for fuel constituents (EPA method 8020 <br />for soils, EPA Method 602 for water and GC scan for gas samples). <br />Analyses and Evaluations. We will analyze the results of the <br />preliminary field and laboratory investigations and provide <br />recommendations for short-term remediations. Such short term <br />solutions may be initiated prior to preparation and approval of <br />the work plan. One such remedial action would be excavating a <br />trench in the area of the pipe break, installing a drain well and <br />backfilling the trench with drain gravel. A skimmer pump can then <br />be installed in the drain well to remove the products on the top <br />of the groundwater. <br />Preparation of Work Plan. As requested by the Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board we will prepare a work plan for the detailed <br />Investigations and remedial actions. The plan would present the <br />results of all existing data and identify the need for, if any, <br />further monitoring well installation, and soil and water sampling. <br />The plan would also identify health and safety issues and the <br />-10-
