an immiscible layer on PT-MW3 but groundwater samples were not collected for analysis. GAS also reported that groundwater surface elevations had dropped approximately five feet since 1988 (Geological Audit Services, 1991) and that the groundwater surface elevation map had a relatively flat gradient with a slight slope to the south. GAS (1991) concluded the following: (1)that offsite migration of petroleum hydrocarbons released from the Parmar Texaco site was a possibility; (2)the lateral extent of soil and/or groundwater petroleum hydrocarbon contamination was not yet determined; (3)the water bearing sand at approximately 40 feet bgs should allow recovery of the free product and/or dissolved contamination from the first water-bearing zone; (4)that a more northerly source may be contributing to the identified petroleum hydrocarbon groundwater contamination and; (5)that 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of gasoline were potentially present and contained in the groundwater beneath the site. Based on the conclusions reached by GAS (1991) a limited groundwater extraction from monitoring wells PT-MW2 and MW3 was undertaken by Falcon Energy during 1992. Falcon Energy reportedly extracted and removed several thousand gallons of petroleum hydrocarbon impacted groundwater(Dana Booth,verbal communication, 2003). The disposition of these removed liquids is unknown. No information regarding the volume and ultimate disposition of these fluids. In January 1994, PHSEHD directed that the three monitoring wells to be sampled to assess current groundwater conditions beneath the site. Mr. Dana Booth, Consulting Geologist was retained by Mrs. Yearing to conduct the work.Mr. Booth supervised the resurveying and redevelopment of the three monitoring wells, and water sample collection of each of the three existing monitoring wells. On March 7, 1994 the following groundwater conditions were reported by Booth (1994)to exist at the site: (1) A product layer of 0.03 foot thickness was measured at PT-MW3; (2) The water samples from PT-MW 1 and PT-MW2 reportedly contained TPH-g and BTEX concentrations significantly above established Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL's); (3) The groundwater gradient was calculated at 0.003 toward the southwest(using a 0.8 relative density for the product layer). Two water samples (PT-MW 1 and PT-MW2)were reportedly collected and transported to West Laboratories, Davis, California under chain of custody documentation. The water samples were analyzed using USEPA Test Method 602 for benzene,toluene, ethylbenzene. and xylene and 8015M for TPH-gasoline. Analytical reports for these two water samples were reported to contain maximum concentrations as follow: TPH-gas (23,000 µg/1); benzene (2,000 µg/1); toluene (3,500 µg/l); ethylbenzene (2,800 µg/1); and xylene (2,800 µg/1). No water sample was collected from monitoring well PT-MW3. The onsite soil stockpile from the UST removal was reportedly sampled by Dana Booth on February 7, 1994. Six soil samples were reportedly collected from the stockpile using a modified Parmar\Site Assessment Workplan\02152018.wpd 5
