EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />At t.�e request of the City of Everett (the City), G-Logics has completed a site exploration to <br />better determinP the nature and extent of any remaining gasoline contamination at this site. <br />This property is identified as Fire Station 5 and the four adjacent residential properties <br />located at the intersection of Madison �treet and Beverly Boulevard, in Everett, <br />Washington. Contamination at this site was originally discovered in 1991, due to a release <br />from an underground gasoline storage tank located at the southwest comer of the fire- <br />station building. Also in 1991, this tank and a lazge volume of contaminated soils were <br />excavated and removed from the site. <br />G-Logics and subcontract personnel completed seven soil borings on the subject property in <br />October of 2000. Five borings were completed for a concurrent geotechnical exploration. <br />Two deeper borings, located in the azea the Former underground storage tank (UST) release, <br />were drilled and completed as groundwater monitoring wells. Soil samples were obtained <br />from borings and were submitted for laboratory analysis. Extremely dense fine-grained soils <br />!gla; ial till) were encounterea ;��oughout the property to depths of approximately 40 feet. <br />At th's depth, sands, with some gra�.+el and silt, were discovered to explor„ depths <br />(maximum 60 feet). Subsurface soils were discovered to be occasionally moist, but did not <br />yield water into the two completed wells. <br />Petroleum-contaminated soils were not discovered by this exploration, but contaminants <br />were identified in two of the eight analyzed soil samples (at concentrations befow published <br />cleanup levels). Petroleum contam:nants were discovered in the water sample collected <br />from VW-1, a vapor monitoring well installed in 1991. T'hese contaminants included <br />gasoline-rang• hydrocazbons and the related compounds ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylenes. <br />The water present in VW-1 appears to be due to infiltration of surface water azound tLe <br />monitoring well and not representative of groundwater or perched groundwater. <br />Based on the results of this exploration, G-Logics concludes that: <br />• Additional soil or groundwater sampling to further define the azea impacted <br />by gasoline c�ntaminants is not necessary. t3ased on information discovered <br />during this e:cploration, and our understanding of pending regulatory changes <br />and planned site uses, the detected contaminant concentrations aze not <br />expected to pose a threat to human health or the environment. <br />01•0105-C-RT.doc � ?{ ^'/��CS <br />Copyright 2001 G-Lagics, fnc.
