The soil samples collected from each boring at depths of one foot bgs were analyzed by a state-certified analytical laboratory by EPA Method 314.0 for perchlorate; by full screen EPA Method 8260B for aromatic and chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including oxygenates, and for total petroleum hydrocarbons in the gasoline carbon chain range (TPH-G); by EPA Method 8270 for semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs); by EPA Method 6000/7000 for 16 toxic heavy metals, including arsenic; by EPA Method 7470A/7471A for total mercury; by EPA Method 8015 Modified for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) speciated by carbon chain range; and by EPA Method 8330 for explosive compounds. The soils samples collected from each boring at depths of three and five feet bgs were held by the laboratory, pending the results from the soil samples analyzed.
