| Abstract | Long Description |
This memorandum documents the results of the soil gas survey conducted September 1993 in the town of Republic, located in northeast Washington in Ferry County. Based on these results ERO staff initiated leaking underground storage tank (LUST) inspections at two potential source areas, Anderson Grocery/Gas Store and the Texaco gas station. The soil gas survey was conducted in response to residents' complaint of gasoline odors in their home. The objective of the soil gas survey was to determine the pathway and possible source of the hydrocarbon odor. Initially, the target source area was the bulk storage facility located near the residence. The focus of the survey was relocated to town when contamination was observed in a construction trench near the school. A total of 22 soil gas samples and one soil sample were collected and tested. Soil gas samples were analyzed in the field using a portable gas chromatograph. |
