' BMG Resources ~ Terracon <br />' Soil Sampling at the Historic Fueling Area <br />Project No. 46027059 <br />October 22, 2002 <br />Although the fill material below four inches appeared moist, free water was not observed at <br />any depth in the excavation. Terracon observed a light gray discoloration in the 4-inch to <br />12-inch bgs layer of soil. Terracon did not observe obvious discoloration in the lower <br />' material. With the exception of urine odor likely associated with livestock activity, Terracon <br />did not note unusual odors in any of the soil removed from Excavation No. 1. <br />3.2.2 Northern Test Excavation No. 2 Observations <br />Test Excavation No. 2 observations were recorded during August 29 field activities. Test <br />Excavation No. 2 was located approximately six feet to the north of the northern electrical <br />connection. Terracon encountered fill material at all depths. Fill material consisted of a clay <br />and gravel mixture in the upper 12 inches followed by a sandy fill material to at least six <br />inches below the liner (located at approximately 30 inches bgs). Although the fill material <br />below four inches appeared moist, free water was not observed at any depth in the <br />excavation. Terracon did not observe obvious discoloration associated with any material <br />observed in the second excavation. With the exception of urine odor lilley associated with <br />livestock activity, Terracon did not note unusual odors in any of the soil removed from <br />Excavation No. 2. <br />4.0 LABORATORY ANALYSES <br />4.1 Soil Samples <br />As described in Section 3.0, a total of six soil samples were collected for laboratory <br />analysis. The samples were containerized in laboratory-prepared bottles that were labeled <br />identifying the sample name, coltectiori time and date, and the laboratory analyses. The <br />samples were placed in an ice-filled cooler and hand delivered under standard Terracon <br />chain-of custody procedures to Evergreen Analytical Laboratory in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. <br />The laboratory was requested to analyze the soil samples for benzene, toluene, <br />ethytbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX by EPA Method 8020) and total recoverable petroleum <br />hydrocarbons (TRPH by EPA Method 418.1). <br />4.2 Sample Analytical Results <br />Table 4.2-1 which follows, summarizes the sample analytical results. The laboratory <br />sample analytical report is presented in Appendix D. <br />3 <br />
