The activities consisted of sampling five groundwater monitoring wells on the Property. BACKGROUND During environmental due diligence activities for a property transaction, Western Geologic completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment which identified two former gas stations on separate portions of the Property. A ground-penetrating radar investigation identified an underground anomaly thought to have been a former tank basin. Western Geologic advanced two soil borings, TM-3 and TM-4, in this area and soil and groundwater samples were analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline-range organics (TPH-GRO). The sample results from TM-3 were non-detect for groundwater and below the Utah Initial Screening Levels (ISLs) for soil. The sample results from TM-4 were below the Utah ISLs for soil, but the groundwater sample exceeded the Utah ISL for benzene. Benzene was identified at a concentration of 0.0403 milligrams per liter (mg/L), which is greater than the Utah ISL for benzene of 0.005 mg/L. On March 19, 2021, Wasatch installed, developed, and sampled a temporary groundwater monitoring well (TM-4A) near TM-4. The analytical result for benzene was 0.0128 mg/L, which is lower than the Western Geologic grab sample, but still above the Utah ISL of 0.005 mg/L. On March 31, 2021, Wasatch advanced three soil borings near TM-4A to facilitate the collection of soil and groundwater samples and attempt to define the extent of the groundwater impacts. TPH-GRO, benzene, ethylbenzene, naphthalene, and total xylenes were detected above laboratory reporting limits in one or more of the soil samples; however, the exhibited soil concentrations were well below their respective Utah ISLs. Benzene was detected above the Utah ISL for benzene in all three of the groundwater samples. On May 28, 2021, Wasatch oversaw a geophysical survey of the western portion of the Property in an attempt to identify the presence of any buried features that could be related to the source of the benzene detected in groundwater. The geophysical survey identified several anomalies that indicated the presence of fill material associated with the former underground storage tank (UST) basin, product piping, and dispenser areas. One anomaly indicative of a UST was located. Given its size, it was suggested that the UST was likely a waste oil tank. This information was taken into consideration when sighting additional boring locations. Wasatch Environmental Inc. Page 2 On June 10, 2021, Wasatch advanced a total of 11 soil borings. The soil and groundwater sampling identified an area of elevated benzene in groundwater at the southwest corner of the Property. On November 11, 2021, Wasatch observed the removal of a 1,000-gallon steel UST and collected closure soil samples SS-1 and SS-2 at a depth of 5 feet below ground surface (bgs). The results were greater than the Utah ISLs for total petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel-range organics (TPH-DRO), TPH- GRO, and total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH). Benzene was not identified at concentrations greater than laboratory reporting limits; however, the laboratory reporting limits exceeded the Utah ISLs for benzene. Wasatch prepared and implemented a corrective action plan (CAP) to address petroleum hydrocarbon impacts to soil at the removed UST area and the boring location GP-9, which contained TPH-GRO at concentrations greater than Utah ISLs at a depth of 9 feet bgs. All action levels in the CAP were met in soil and all soil confirmation samples were below Utah ISLs. No soil that contains petroleum hydrocarbons at concentrations greater than Utah ISLs are known to remain on the Property. On October 13, 2022, Wasatch installed four groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1 through MW-4) and converted a temporary monitoring well (TM-4A) to a permanent groundwater monitoring well by installing a surface completion consisting of an 8-inch diameter, flush-mounted, traffic-rated, well box set in concrete. This well, which is within the benzene plume, was labeled MW-5 (Figure 1). OBJECTIVE The objective of this sampling event was to characterize the changes to the petroleum hydrocarbon and benzene groundwater impacts observed after the removal of impacted soil during the CAP implementation. GROUNDWATER SAMPLING On January 23, 2024, the depth to groundwater in each monitoring well was measured using a Solonist water level meter. The probe was decontaminated between each monitoring well with non-phosphate detergent (Alconox®), rinsed with distilled water, followed by a second rinse with distilled water. Groundwater samples were collected from each monitoring well by Wasatch Field Scientist Jeff Hessburg (Utah Groundwater and Soil Sampler GS 1880). Samples were collected using a peristaltic pump and ¼- inch outside diameter, disposable, low-density polyethylene tubing. Prior to sample collection, each well was purged of at least three well casing volumes of water. Once three well casing volumes were purged from each well, groundwater samples were dispensed into 40-milliliter (mL) glass vials with Teflon® septa caps. The vials used for collecting the TPH-GRO and aromatic hydrocarbon samples, which were supplied by the analytical laboratory, contained several drops of hydrochloric acid as a preservative. The vials were filled slowly until a meniscus formed, then each vial was sealed with a septa cap. This procedure eliminates headspace within the vials and minimizes the loss of volatiles. The sample vials were each labeled with the analysis required, sampler’s name, sample identification, sample location, date, and time of sample collection. The samples were placed in a cooler with ice and transported under chain-of-custody protocol to Chemtech-Ford for analysis. Groundwater samples were analyzed for TPH- GRO, methyl-tert butyl ether (MTBE), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, total xylenes, and naphthalene (MBTEXN) by U.S. EPA Method 8260D and TPH-DRO by U.S. EPA Method 8015C. Wasatch Environmental Inc. Page 3 SAMPLING RESULTS Table 1 presents the historical groundwater analytical results. For comparison purposes, Table 1 also shows the applicable Utah ISLs for petroleum hydrocarbon constituents. The groundwater analytical reports and chain-of-custody documentation are presented in Appendix A. As shown on Table 1, benzene was identified in monitoring well MW-2 at a concentration of 0.018 mg/L, and in MW-4 at a concentration of 0.007 mg/L. Both MW-2 and MW-4 analytical results exceed the Utah ISLs for benzene which is 0.005 mg/L. Groundwater measurements and elevation data are presented in Table 2. As shown on Table 2, depth to groundwater in January 2024 ranged from 9.75 to 10.65 feet below the top of casing. Measurements of depth to water in September 2023 are similar to those taken in January 2024. A potentiometric surface map calculated from January 23, 2024, depth to water measurements is presented in Figure 2. The potentiometric surface map indicates that the hydraulic gradient is generally to the south-southwest at 0.011 feet per foot. This has been consistent since the wells were installed. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Results of groundwater sample analysis at the southwestern portion of the Property confirms the presence of benzene at concentrations just above the Utah ISLs at the southwestern portion of the Property. Monitoring well MW-5, which was a temporary well and which was converted to a permanent well, previously contained benzene at a concentration of 0.128 mg/L. Benzene was reported at a concentration <0.005 mg/L during the past four sampling events. We anticipate that this trend will continue in monitoring wells MW-2 and MW-4. Additional groundwater monitoring events should continue to demonstrate that the benzene impacts are decreasing with time.
