Average Depth to Groundwater: | 5.82ft |
Lithology and Subsurface Geology
clay Depth: 0-9ft bgs 9ft thick Gradient: 0.014ft/ft |

Pathways and DNAPL Presence
Groundwater Sediments Soil Presumptive Evidence of DNAPL |
Vapor Intrusion Pathway
Has the potential for vapor intrusion (VI) been evaluated? |
Yes |
|
How was the site evaluated? |
Soil vapor and/or Sub-slab vapor sampling,Groundwater sampling,Compared sample concentration to screening criteria |
|
Results of VI evaluation: |
A potential VI pathway has been indentified | |
Has a vapor mitigation system been installed? |
No | |
Additional VI Information: |
Soil gas samples were collected on each side of the newly constructed store. One sample contained a concentration which exceeded the indoor air screening level for Vinyl Chloride. Indoor air samples are to be collected from the store to verify if vapor intrusion is an issue. |

Lessons Learned
In-situ chemical oxidation was very successful with reduction in the source area. Since the source area of impact was so large, it was also very cost effective. Based on the results and the costs incurred, I would consider this approach with a similar site. |
