Publication Summary

This progress report is one in a series describing results of groundwater sampling at the Restover Truck Stop. This report describes results of samples collected in January 2000 from four upper aquifer wells for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX), as well as total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPH-G).

This progress report is one in a series describing results of groundwater sampling at the Restover Truck Stop. This report describes results of samples collected in January 2000 from four upper aquifer wells for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX), as well as total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPH-G).

All four BTEX compounds were detected in well WDOE-6A with an average total concentration of 233 ug/L. Low concentrations of benzene and ethylbenzene were detected in MW-30. TPH-G concentrations in wells MW-8A, MW-30 and WDOE-6A were 490 ug/L, 660 ug/L and 7,600 ug/L, respectively. Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) cleanup standards were exceeded in WDOE-6A for benzene, ethylbenzene and total xylene, as well as for TPH. Benzene slightly exceeded the cleanup standard in well MW-30. Well WDOE-6A is the only well in which BTEX concentrations continue to be elevated.
