A15. Sharman �ratt, Saleway Inc. <br />EPI Pmject No. 082783.1 <br />August 5, 2D02 <br />Ground Water Cleanup Level of 1,000 ug/L in ihe sample from MW-7 (i.e. 13,000 ug/L). The detecled <br />ethylbenzene and total xylenes concentralions in MW-7 and Unknown-1 exceeded the A4TCA Method A <br />Ground Water Cleanup Level of 700 Ng/L and 1,000 µg/L, respectively. The dislribution of benzene <br />concentrations is also indicated on Figure 3. <br />MTBE was delected in the sample from MW-8 at a concentration of 13 F�g/L, below lhe MTCA Method <br />A Ground Water Cleanup Level of 20 ��gIL. MTBE was not detected in any of the other samples, <br />however due to necessary sample dilution during analysis, the MDL was above the MTCA Method A <br />Ground Water Cleanup Level for the samples from MW-7 and Unknown-1. Previous sampling by <br />others of MW-7 t�ad detected concentrations of MTBE above the MTCA cleanup level. <br />Napthalene was detected in the sample irom MW-7 at a concentretion of 680 pg/L, above the MTCA <br />Methud A Ground Water Cleanup Level for total napthalenes (i.e. naphthalene, 1-Methylnaplhalene and <br />2-Methylnapthalene) of 160 pglL. <br />Other Volatile Organic Compounds detected in at leasl one of the ground water samples include <br />Acetone, n•propyl benzene, 1,3,5•Trimethylbenzene, and 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene. The detected <br />acetone concentration was labeled by the laboralory as "result likely due fo laboratory contamination." <br />The remaining compounds are regufated as components of gasoline. <br />EPI also submitted several samples for the anaiysis o( common fuel additives, including methanol, <br />ethanol, tert-butanol, Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether, Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether, 1,2 Dibromoethane, 1,2 <br />Dichloroethane, and dissolved lead. None o( these compounds were detected in any of the samp'es <br />submitted for lhese analyses. <br />Laboratory analytical repoAs are included as Attachmenl A. Laboratory analytical resulls from previous <br />sampling by olhers are included as Atlachment B. <br />Conclusions <br />The findings of this baseline ground water qualiry assessment support the following conclusions: <br />• Elevated GRPH and benzene concentralions are present in ground water near, and down- <br />gradient oF the current underground storage tanks. It is reasonable to expecl that the ebserved <br />impacts extend beyond the eastern property boundary beneath Rucker Avenue and north <br />under the dispenser islands. <br />• Contaminants of concern in soil and ground water at the site include GRPH, MTBE, benzene, <br />toluene, ethylbenzene, total xylenes, and naphthalene. Remedial activilies to be conducted at <br />the site should have ihe objective oi attaining the MTCA Method A Cleanup Levels tor both soil <br />and ground �vater. Failure to attain the Method A Soil Cleanup Levels throughout the site will <br />mcrease Qie remedial timeframe for ground water. <br />f N V 1 R O N N C N T A L P A 0. T N E R S I N C Page 3 <br />
