Methods and Results of Additional Sampling Methodology Assessment of
Groundwater in Monitoring Wells MW-3 and MW-7 - Former Sunset and Pacific
Pride Sites
Sampling Methodology
On May 10, 2013 FAI performed side-by-side sampling of groundwater in monitoring
wells MW-3 and MW-7 utilizing both low flow and bailer purge methods.
Sampling Results
General groundwater analytical results for the May 10, 2013 comparative sampling methodology assessment, are presented below.
MW-3
Laboratory analysis for NWTPH-Dx of the low flow purge sample (MW3-P),
indicated diesel at 8.69 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and non-detect for oil.
Laboratory analysis for NWTPH-Dx of the bailer purge sample (MW3-B),
indicated diesel at 253 mg/L and non-detect for oil.
Laboratory analysis NWTPH-Gx indicated similar detections of gasoline range
hydrocarbons in both the low flow (MW3-P) and bailer (MW3-B) purge method
samples. Sample detections did not exceed the applicable DEQ Risk Based
Concentrations (RBCs) established for the site in either sample.
Laboratory analysis for PAHs did not indicate any constituent in excess of
applicable RBCs established for the site in either the low flow (MW3-P) or bailer
(MW3-B) purge samples. However, the sample collected utilizing the bailer
purge and sample method (MW3-B) indicated a very large increase in the levels
of detection compared to the sample collected low flow purge and sample method
(MW3-P).
Laboratory analysis for VOCs indicated consistent levels of detection for both the
low flow (MW3-P) and bailer (MW3-B) purge samples. VOC constituents that
were detected were consistent with historic results and did not exceed applicable
RBCs established for the site in either sample.
Laboratory analysis for Total and Dissolved Metals indicated consistent levels of
detection for both the low flow (MW3-P) and bailer (MW3-B) purge samples
from both wells. Metals that were detected did not exceed the applicable RBCs
established for the site in either sample.
MW-7
Laboratory analysis for NWTPH-Dx of the low flow purge sample (MW7-P),
indicated diesel at 2.12 mg/L and non-detect for oil.
Laboratory analysis for NWTPH-Dx of the bailer purge sample (MW7-B),
indicated diesel at 158 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and non-detect for oil.
Laboratory analysis NWTPH-Gx indicated a higher detection of gasoline range
hydrocarbons for the sample collected utilizing the bailer purge and sample
method (MW7-B). However, sample detections utilizing the low flow (MW7-P)
or bailer (MW7-B) purge and sample method did not exceed the applicable RBCs
established for the site and were consistent with historic results.
Laboratory analysis for PAHs did not indicate any constituent in excess of
applicable RBCs established for the site in either the low flow (MW7-P) or bailer
(MW7-B) purge samples. However, the sample collected utilizing the bailer
purge and sample method (MW7-B) indicated a large increase in the levels of
detection compared to the low flow purge and sample method.
Laboratory analysis for VOCs indicated consistent levels of detection for both the
low flow (MW7-P) and bailer (MW7-B) purge and sample methods. VOC
constituents that were detected were consistent with historic results and did not
exceed the applicable RBCs established for the site in either sample.
Laboratory analysis for Total and Dissolved Metals indicated consistent levels of
detection for both the low flow (MW7-P) and bailer (MW7-B) purge and sample
methods. Metals that were detected did not exceed the applicable RBCs
established for the site in either sample.
