Mr. Issa Shamiyeh Detrex Chemical Industries 4000 Town Center Suite 1100 Southfield, H! 48075

Dear Hr.' Shiimiyeh: Following your request and in accordanc: wi th the guidelines set forth in the MDNR l etter of August 27. 1S86, EDT hes monitored the excavation of �oil immediately Qdjac2nt to and e:st of your Grand Rapids warehouse on 312 E11swarth Ave�ue. The monitoring included the use of an HNU photoionization det�ctor calibrated for trichloroethylene-

The extent of excavation in the two areas is shown on F i gures l and 2. One area 1s 1mmedict�ly adjac:�t to the warehouse (20 feet wide x 100 feet long}, an� the other is located betwe�� points 8-14 and B-16 near the C&O Railroad (� f��� wid� x 30 fe9t lens). Th� depths of these e�cavations are shown on Tabl�s 1 ar.d 2, and in the d2�th profile of Figure 3.

As �nn be see� in Figure 3, most excavntions were taken down 5 to 6 feet to tht top of t�e clay laye; whE�2 the HNU readings w�re typically at 2 ppm or less.

lhe soi I in to � OC?th cncocntered un 1 for:n and

the vicinity of 3-5 (Figure 2, po i nts l, 2, and 3) was excavated of 12 15 fe�t �t which leve1 a den�e gray layer of c1ay w�5 whic� is at 1e�s� 3 fe�t thick. This clay layer appeared to be continuous as visu�lized along the walls of the deep excavation.

Soi� samples we:2 take�· in viils at 13 feet depth (S-2) and 15 feet depth

(S-:). They we�e ana1yz2d fo1iowing EOI's standard quality assur�nce proce­dure�.

The ana1ys1s was performed usir.o E?A Method 601 and gas chromatography with thP. following results: 30 ppm for sample S-l and 82 ppm for sample S-2.
