Underground Storage Tank Site Assessment and Investigations
Client: Bauer Built, Inc.
Completion Date: On-going
Bauer Built owns and operates several stations and convenience store gas stations.
Bauer Built began upgrading their petroleum storage tanks in response to the new
federal petroleum storage tank law in November, 1988. Ayres has provided site
assessments and evaluations at various Bauer Built facilities. Work performed for
Bauer Built includes three tank closure site assessments, a site evaluation
involving soil and groundwater sampling at a bulk petroleum storage fa. cility and
a soil and groundwater evaluation at a former tire store and service station.

Groundwater Contamination Assessment at a Truck Stop
Client: American International Adjustments Co.
Completion Date: 1989
Several solvents and gasoline constituents (BETX compounds) were discovered
and parties potentially responsible for the contamination were ordered to
investigate further.
Ayres Associates was retained by American International Adjustments Company,
insurer of the truck stop, to perform a groundwater study to determine if gasoline
contamination was originating from that site. Ayres' study included installing off-
site monitoring wells to supplement monitoring wells already in the area.
Groundwater samples collected from the new wells, in addition to five existing
wells and a private well, were analyzed for BETX compounds. Additionally,
eight soil borings were taken around underground storage tanks (UST's) and
distribution piping to identify potential sources of contamination. Soil samples
were screened for organic vapors using a portable flame ionization detector. This
work revealed a water table plume contaminated with BETX compounds,
apparently originating at the truck stop site. Although no active source was
found, historical records contained reports of several gas pump/car accidents that
caused spills.
Remediation recommendations included installing a recovery well and
groundwater treatment system, pressure testing of UST's and distribution piping,
remediation of contaminated soil and vapor monitoring of residences in the
pathway of the plume.
ASSOCIATES
Remediation of Leaking Underground Storage Tanks
Client: Marshall & Isley Trust Company
Completion Date: 1988
Ayres Associates consulted with the M & I Trust Company regmding a former
gas station site. Two underground gasoline storage tanks had been removed from
an abandoned gas station. At the time of excavation, the tanks were observed to
be in excellent physical condition and no potential leaks were evident. However,
composite samples of soil and groundwater indicated low levels of contamination
by compounds associated with petroleum products.
Ayres conducted an assessment for potential contamination of the area
surrounding the leaking tank and prepared a remedial action plan.
Based on the levels of contamination observed, background conditions and
potential risk to the community an effective remedial action plan was
implemented to reduce contamination levels to acceptable limits.
ASSOCIATES
Remediation of Leaking Above Ground Storage Tank
Client: Confidential Client
Completion Date: On-going
In November 1988, 6,200 gallons of #2 fuel oil leaked from a 10,000 gallon
above ground storage tank at the client's facility. The spill was reported to the
regulatory agency which required the client to investigate the extent of soil and
groundwater contamination and implement remediation work if necessary.
Ayres Associates was retained to investigate the spill site. Ayres installed
monitoring walls and collected soil and groundwater samples for analysis of fuel
oil constituents. The investigation revealed up to 3.5 feet of #2 fuel oil in the
ground water over a quarter acre area.
Based on the investigative findings remediation was advised. Ayres designed and
installed a recovery system for fuel oil. The recovery system includes a 12-inch
diameter recovery well and a 2-pump recovery system. The 2-pump system
includes a groundwater depression pump and product collection pump. Fuel oil is
plumped to an on-site storage tank. The system began operation in late April
1989. As of late August 1989, approximately 3,000 gallons of fuel oil have been
recovered.
