The investigation consisted of eight borings advanced to approximately 20 feet below ground surface (bgs) to assess soil impacts. Six of the borings were converted to permanent monitoring wells to assess the groundwater impacts. Boring and monitoring well locations are depicted on Exhibit 2. The August 2014 investigation identified that all soil samples were either below method detection limits (MDLs) or reported concentrations below Utah’s Initial Screening Levels (ISLs), the most conservative UDEQ screening levels considered protective of human health and the environment for any land use scenario. Analysis of the groundwater samples identified exceedances of benzene, ethylbenzene, and total petroleum hydrocarbon gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO) above the Utah ISLs. Naphthalene was reported above its ISL and risk-based Tier 1 screening level, which are the same. The greatest concentrations were reported in MW-1 and MW-2. The DERR requested three additional rounds of groundwater sampling conducted in November 2014, February 2015, and May 2015. Through the sampling events, concentrations of benzene, and TPH-GRO remained above their ISLs in both MW-1 and MW-2, ethylbenzene remained above its ISL in MW-1, and naphthalene remained above its ISL/Tier 1 screening level in MW-1. The most recent document, a Site Condition Report for LUST Trust Site Reviews, dated September 3, 2021, stated the following relating to the Hardy Service Conoco site: “The site has been re-developed as a City of Delta Fire Station. A release was reported from a previous gas station that operated on the site. Terracon was able to locate 5 of the 6 monitoring wells installed at the site in 2014. The only well not found was MW-2, which has been covered by concrete in the front of the building during re-development. The last sampling event conducted at the site was in May 2015. Groundwater sampling of the six monitoring wells associated with the site reported concentrations of dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons above the ISL in two on-site monitoring wells: MW-1 and MW-2. Naphthalene exceeded the Tier 1 Screening Level in MW-1. Off-site monitoring wells did not report an exceedance of an ISL.” Based on the 2021 report, five groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-3, MW-4, MW-5, and MW-6) remain on-site and were accessible for this monitoring and sampling event.

GHS-4-TER: Groundwater Monitoring Report Hardy Service Conoco | Delta, Utah November 26, 2024 | Terracon Project No. 61247154 Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 3 2.0 Groundwater Sampling Event 2.1 Groundwater Sample Collection On October 17, 2024, Terracon was onsite to collect up to five groundwater samples from the monitoring wells located at the site (MW-1, MW-3, MW-5, and MW-6) and to the south of the site in the roadway shoulder (MW-4). All wells were gauged for depth to groundwater and total depth of the well. MW-1 was observed to be dry, MW-3 had an upper casing lid that was unable to be opened, MW-4 contained 1.64 feet of water that bailed dry during the purge process and never recovered enough volume to collect a sample, MW-5 was purged a full three well volumes prior to collection of a groundwater sample, and MW-6 was bailed dry during the purge process but recovered enough to collect a sample. Groundwater purging and sample collection were completed using a new disposable bailer for each well. A Trip Blank was included with the sample batch that consisted of a laboratory provided, sealed, 40-milliliter sample vial containing water and five percent hydrochloric acid solution. This sample was analyzed by the laboratory for select chemicals of concern as part of the quality control program to ensure that any compounds detected in the sample were not the result of contamination during the sampling, shipping, and handling process. The wells were sampled by Utah-certified UST Groundwater and Soil Sampler Mark Lilly (GS 0049) with oversight from Utah-certified UST Consultant Amy Austin (CC0238). 2.2 Site Observations Depth-to-water measurements and groundwater elevations are presented in Table 1 (Appendix B). The groundwater gradient at the site was calculated using measured depth to groundwater in relationship to the relative top of well casing elevations from wells MW-4, MW-5, and MW- 6. The direction of groundwater flow is generally flat with a slight gradient toward the south-southwest (Exhibit 2, Appendix A). The calculated groundwater gradient and associated flow direction is generally consistent with the flow directions observed during previous monitoring events. Free product was not observed in the bailers in any monitoring wells during this sampling event. 2.3 Investigation-derived Waste Monitoring well purge water was surface applied on an impermeable surface in the vicinity of the well that generated the water and was allowed to infiltrate and/or evaporate. Care was taken to not allow purge water to affect nearby receptors (e.g., storm water catch basins, utilities, or property boundaries). GHS-4-TER: Groundwater Monitoring Report Hardy Service Conoco | Delta, Utah November 26, 2024 | Terracon Project No. 61247154 Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 4 3.0 Laboratory Analytical Methods All groundwater samples were collected and placed in laboratory-prepared containers, labeled, and placed on ice in a cooler and submitted to Chemtech-Ford Laboratories, a Utah- certified analytical laboratory, in Sandy, Utah. The groundwater samples were submitted for analysis of methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalene (BTEXN), using EPA Method 8260D; total petroleum hydrocarbons – diesel range organics (TPH-DRO), using EPA Method 8015C; and total petroleum hydrocarbons - gasoline range organics (TPH-GRO), using EPA Method 8260B/C. The Trip Blank was analyzed for BTEXN, using EPA Method 8206D. The executed chain-of-custody forms and laboratory data sheets are provided in Appendix C. 4.0 Data Evaluation 4.1 Groundwater Sample Results Please refer to Table 1 (Appendix B) for a summary of the groundwater samples collected during this event. The only petroleum hydrocarbon reported in the two groundwater samples collected was TPH-GRO from MW-6 at a concentration of 0.442 milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is less than half the ISL for TPH-GRO of 1.0 mg/L. Analytical results from the trip blank analysis reported that all analytes were below laboratory detection limits indicating that evidence of cross-contamination during the sampling process was not identified. 5.0 Findings and Conclusions None of the petroleum constituents analyzed were detected in MW-5, and MW-6 reported concentrations below Utah’s ISLs, both consistent with previous sampling events. MW-1 was dry and could not be sampled, so current concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in the source area could not be determined. However, as MW-5 and MW-6 are located generally cross to down-gradient of the source area, it does not appear any significant migration of contaminants has occurred. Assuming groundwater elevations would be higher in the spring, a sampling event conducted during the spring may allow for a more complete round of groundwater sampling. GHS-4-TER: Groundwater Monitoring Report Hardy Service Conoco | Delta, Utah November 26, 2024 | Terracon Project No. 61247154 Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 5 Alternatively, installation of new deeper monitoring wells in the locations of MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4 would provide a more complete representation of current groundwater conditions and would allow for future sampling events in any season, if needed.
