1.0 INTRODUCTION
ATEC Associates Inc ATEC was retained by the City of South Bend Department
of Community and Economic Development to perform groundwater sampling of four
monitoring wells located on the former Avanti facility at the northwest corner of
Lafayette and Sample Streets The purpose of this sampling was to evaluate the
current status of volatile organic compounds VOCs in the on-site wells Figure
shows the project site and surrounding vicinity
ATEC arrived on site August 18 1994 to sample four wells The project site
consisted of vacant lot The Avanti building structure and parking lots had been
demolished and removed since the last sampling event In the process of
demolishing the building two monitoring wells have been destroyed and/or buried
and could not be found Monitoring well MW-4 and MW-2 were located The metal
protective cover and the well casing above ground level on monitoring well MW-4
had been bent to the ground With the casing bend over the well could not be
sampled ATEC used hack saw to saw the metal casing and the well casing off at
ground level so that the well could be sampled The well was recapped but it is not
protected or secured
The former parking lot at the project site has been demolished and removed The
grade at the site has been lowered by approximately ft MW-2 was originally set
in manhole flush with the surface elevation Since the grade around the well has
been lowered the PVC well casing extends to ft Out of the ground Towards the
top of the PVC piping is the cement grout and manhole cover that once set into the
ground The well appeared to be undamaged The well is currently unprotected and
it is vulnerable to damage

2.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES
2.1 Groundwater Sampling
On August 18 1994 groundwater samples were collected from two out of four
monitoring wells Figure shows the project site and location of the monitoring
wells The two monitoring wells were gauged with an electronic water level indicator
before the well was sampled Prior to sampling each well was purged minimum
of three well volumes of water to ensure representative groundwater sample was
collected Teflon bailer was used to collect the groundwater from the well The
bailer was decontaminated with non-phosphate detergent wash and tap water
rinse prior to sampling each well The groundwater was collected in three 40
milliliter glass VOC vials preserved on ice and transported to the ATEC laboratory
using proper QA/OC procedures and chain-of-custody protocols The groundwater
samples were submitted for volatile organic compounds Table summarizes depth
to water and the amount of water purged from each monitoring well

2.2 Static Water Level Elevations
Monitoring well MW-4 had been damaged from demolition work at the project site
In order for the well to be sampled the protective cover and the well casing were cut
off at ground level The top of the casing elevation has therefore been altered
Monitoring well MW-2 does not appear to have been damaged however due to the
demolition work at the site the top of well casing elevation may have been altered
If these wells are to be used to veri groundwater flow direction they will need to
be re-surveyed
Three static water level elevations are needed to accurately determine groundwater
flow direction Because there are only two monitoring wells still remaining and their
top of casing elevations are unknown no static water level elevation table or
groundwater flow map could be generated for this sampling event
3.0 FINDINGS
3.1 VOC Analytical Test Results
Groundwater samples from MW-2 and MW-4 were submitted to the ATEC
laboratory for VOC analysis VOC analysis was performed on Finnigan Incos 50
GC/MS/DS system complete with Superincos Software according to SW 846
Method 8240 for Purgeable Organic Compounds Table summarizes the VOC
analytical results

3.2 Historical Groundwater VOC Results
The groundwater monitoring wells at the project site have been sampled two times
prior to the August 18 1994 sampling event The first sampling event occurred in
November 1990 and the second sampling event occurred in February 1991 Table
shows the analytical result for the detected VOC compounds over the three
sampling events Note that no samples were collected for MW-i and MW-3 for the
most recent August 1994 sampling event

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Analysis of the groundwater sample from MW-2 indicates that the VOC
concentration in the vicinity of this well may be diminishing Historical results from
MW-4 indicate that on both previous sampling events tetrachloroethene was detected
however it was below the method quantitation limit of ppb The most recent result
of 11 ppb would indicate that the area is still impacted by tetrachloroethene
Monitoring well MW-4 is the upgradient well as determined by the groundwater flow
map generated November 30 1990 The tetrachloroethene concentrations in the
upgradient well may indicate possible off-site source for this constituent
ATEC recommends that attempts be made to locate and properly close MW-i and
MW-3 wells ATEC recommends that two new wells be installed to replace these
former wells ATEC recommends that the two remaining wells and the two
replacement wells be surveyed and groundwater flow map generated ATEC also
recommends another round of groundwater sampling for VOCs based on the history
from test results at MW-2 and the current findings at MW-4

1.0 INTRODUCTION
ATEC Associates Inc ATEC was retained by the City of South Bend Department
of Community and Economic Development to perform groundwater sampling of four
monitoring wells located on the former Avanti facility at the northwest corner of
Lafayette and Sample Streets The purpose of this sampling was to evaluate the
current status of volatile organic compounds VOCs in the on-site wells Figure
shows the project site and surrounding vicinity
ATEC arrived on Site August 18 1994 to sample four wells The project site
consisted of vacant lot The Avanti building structure and parking lots had been
demolished and removed since the last sampling event In the process of
demolishing the building two monitoring wells have been destroyed and/or buried
and could not be found Monitoring well MW-4 and MW-2 were located The metal
protective cover and the well casing above ground level on monitoring well MW-4
had been bent to the ground With the casing bend over the well could not be
sampled ATEC used hack saw to saw the metal casing and the well casing off at
ground level so that the well could be sampled The well was recapped but it is not
protected or secured
The former parking lot at the project site has been demolished and removed The
grade at the site has been lowered by approximately ft MW-2 was originally set
in manhole flush with the surface elevation Since the grade around the well has
been lowered the PVC well casing extends to ft out of the ground Towards the
top of the PVC piping is the cement grout and manhole cover that once set into the
ground The well appeared to be undamaged The well is currently unprotected and
it is vulnerable to damage

2.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES
2.1 Groundwater Sampling
On August 18 1994 groundwater samples were collected from two Out of four
monitoring wells Figure shows the project site and location of the monitoring
wells The two monitoring wells were gauged with an electronic water level indicator
before the well was sampled Prior to sampling each well was purged minimum
of three well volumes of water to ensure representative groundwater sample was
collected Teflon bailer was used to collect the groundwater from the well The
bailer was decontaminated with non-phosphate detergent wash and tap water
rinse prior to sampling each well The groundwater was collected in three 40
milliliter glass VOC vials preserved on ice and transported to the ATEC laboratory
using proper QA/QC procedures and chain-of-custody protocols The groundwater
samples were submitted for volatile organic compounds Table summarizes depth
to water and the amount of water purged from each monitoring well

2.2 Static Water Level Elevations
Monitoring well MW-4 had been damaged from demolition work at the project site
In order for the well to be sampled the protective cover and the well casing were cut
off at ground level The top of the casing elevation has therefore been altered
Monitoring well MW-2 does not appear to have been damaged however due to the
demolition work at the site the top of well casing elevation may have been altered
If these wells are to be used to verify groundwater flow direction they will need to
be re-surveyed
Three static water level elevations are needed to accurately determine groundwater
flow direction Because there are only two monitoring wells still remaining and their
top of casing elevations are unknown no static water level elevation table or
groundwater flow map could be generated for this sampling event
3.0 FINDINGS
3.1 VOC Analytical Test Results
Groundwater samples from MW-2 and MW-4 were submitted to the ATEC
laboratory for VOC analysis VOC analysis was performed on Finnigan Incos 50
GC/MS/DS system complete with Superincos Software according to SW 846
Method 8240 for Purgeable Organic Compounds Table summarizes the VOC
analytical results

3.2 Historical Groundwater VOC Results
The groundwater monitoring wells at the project site have been sampled two times
prior to the August 18 1994 sampling event The first sampling event occurred in
November 1990 and the second sampling event occurred in February 1991 Table
shows the analytical result for the detected VOC compounds over the three
sampling events Note that no samples were collected for MW-i and MW-3 for the
most recent August 1994 sampling event

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Analysis of the groundwater sample from MW-2 indicates that the VOC
concentration in the vicinity of this well may be diminishing Historical results from
MW-4 indicate that on both previous sampling events tetrachioroethene was detected
however it was below the method quantitation limit of ppb The most recent result
of 11 ppb would indicate that the area is still impacted by tetrachloroethene
Monitoring well MW-4 is the upgradient well as determined by the groundwater flow
map generated November 30 1990 The tetrachioroethene concentrations in the
upgradient well may indicate possible off-site source for this constituent
ATEC recommends that attempts be made to locate and properly close MW-I and
MW-3 wells ATEC recommends that two new wells be installed to replace these
former wells ATEC recommends that the two remaining wells and the two
replacement wells be surveyed and groundwater flow map generated ATEC also
recommends another round of groundwater sampling for VOCs based on the history
from test results at MW-2 and the current findings at MW-4

1.0 INTRODUCTION
ATEC Associates Inc ATEC was retained by the City of South Bend Department
of Community and Economic Development to perform groundwater sampling of four
monitoring wells located on the former Avanti facility at the northwest corner of
Lafayette and Sample Streets The purpose of this sampling was to evaluate the
current status of volatile organic compounds VOC5 in the on-site wells Figure
shows the project site and surrounding vicinity
ATEC arrived on site August 18 1994 to sample four wells The project site
consisted of vacant lot The Avanti building structure and parking lots had been
demolished and removed since the last sampling event In the process of
demolishing the building two monitoring wells have been destroyed and/or buried
and could not be found Monitoring well MW-4 and MW-2 were located The metal
protective cover and the well casing above ground level on monitoring well MW-4
had been bent to the ground With the casing bend over the well could not be
sampled ATEC used hack saw to saw the metal casing and the well casing off at
ground level so that the well could be sampled The well was recapped but it is not
protected or secured
The former parking lot at the project site has been demolished and removed The
grade at the site has been lowered by approximately ft MW-2 was originally set
in manhole flush with the surface elevation Since the grade around the well has
been lowered the PVC well casing extends to ft out of the ground Towards the
top of the PVC piping is the cement grout and manhole cover that once set into the
ground The well appeared to be undamaged The well is currently unprotected and
it is vulnerable to damage

2.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES
2.1 Groundwater Sampling
On August 18 1994 groundwater samples were collected from two out of four
monitoring wells Figure shows the project site and location of the monitoring
wells The two monitoring wells were gauged with an electronic water level indicator
before the well was sampled Prior to sampling each well was purged minimum
of three well volumes of water to ensure representative groundwater sample was
collected Teflon bailer was used to collect the groundwater from the well The
bailer was decontaminated with non-phosphate detergent wash and tap water
rinse prior to sampling each well The groundwater was collected in three 40
milliliter glass VOC vials preserved on ice and transported to the ATEC laboratory
using proper QA/QC procedures and chain-of-custody protocols The groundwater
samples were submitted for volatile organic compounds Table summarizes depth
to water and the amount of water purged from each monitoring well

2.2 Static Water Level Elevations
Monitoring well MW-4 had been damaged from demolition work at the project site
In order for the well to be sampled the protective cover and the well casing were cut
off at ground level The top of the casing elevation has therefore been altered
Monitoring well MW-2 does not appear to have been damaged however due to the
demolition work at the site the top of well casing elevation may have been altered
If these wells are to be used to verii groundwater flow direction they will need to
be re-surveyed
Three static water level elevations are needed to accurately determine groundwater
flow direction Because there are only two monitoring wells still remaining and their
top of casing elevations are unknown no static water level elevation table or
groundwater flow map could be generated for this sampling event
3.0 FINDINGS
3.1 VOC Analytical Test Results
Groundwater samples from MW-2 and MW-4 were submitted to the ATEC
laboratory for VOC analysis VOC analysis was performed on Finnigan Incos 50
GC/MS/DS system complete with Superincos Software according to SW 846
Method 8240 for Purgeable Organic Compounds Table summarizes the VOC
analytical results

3.2 Historical Groundwater VOC Results
The groundwater monitoring wells at the project site have been sampled two times
prior to the August 18 1994 sampling event The first sampling event occurred in
November 1990 and the second sampling event occurred in February 1991 Table
shows the analytical result for the detected VOC compounds over the three
sampling events Note that no samples were collected for MW-i and MW-3 for the
most recent August 1994 sampling event

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Analysis of the groundwater sample from MW-2 indicates that the VOC
concentration in the vicinity of this well may be diminishing Historical results from
MW-4 indicate that on both previous sampling events tetrachioroethene was detected
however it was below the method quantitation limit of ppb The most recent result
of 11 ppb would indicate that the area is still impacted by tetrachioroethene
Monitoring well MW-4 is the upgradient well as determined by the groundwater flow
map generated November 30 1990 The tetrachioroethene concentrations in the
upgradient well may indicate possible off-site source for this constituent
ATEC recommends that attempts be made to locate and properly close MW-i and
MW-3 wells ATEC recommends that two new wells be installed to replace these
former wells ATEC recommends that the two remaining wells and the two
replacement wells be surveyed and groundwater flow map generated ATEC also
recommends another round of groundwater sampling for VOCs based on the history
from test results at MW-2 and the current findings at MW4
